Running batch file on Remote Computers using PowerShell 2.0

Question

I am trying to run a exe on remote machines which would basically uninstall a product agent. below is the code: ``` $test = Get-Content PC.txt foreach ($a in $test) { $curr = Get-Location Set-Location \$a\Admin$\System32\CCMSetup .\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall Set-Location $curr } ``` It doesn't work. I ended up removing the program from the host computer itself :) Alternate Option: I created a batch file with the command line: ``` cd C:\Windows\System32\ccmsetup ccmsetup /uninstall exit ``` It seems the above can also be achieved using Invoke-Command. ``` Invoke-Command -ComputerName $client -FilePath UninstallCCM.cmd ``` Apparently, it does not accept batch file. I would like to keep it as simple as possible. Currently I am using PSExec for installing and uninstalling the program. Do I need to enable PS Remoting (WinRM) on every remote machine on whom I need to execute scripts using PowerShell? Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

This command should execute successfully:

```
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $client -ScriptBlock { cd C:\Windows\System32\ccmsetup; ccmsetup /uninstall} -Credential $(Get-Credential) -Authentication CredSSP
```

but you will need to enable CredSSP authentication on all machines by running these two commands on each machine:

```
Enable-WsManCredSSP -Role Server -Force
Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role Client -DelegateComputer * -Force
```
