  • Invoke-Command (Microsoft.PowerShell.Core) - PowerShell

    The Invoke-Command cmdlet runs commands on a local or remote computer and returns all output from the commands, including errors. Using a single Invoke-Command command, you can run commands on multiple computers. To run a single command on a remote computer, use the ComputerName parameter. To run a series of related commands that share data, use the New-PSSession cmdlet to create a PSSession (a persistent connection) on the remote computer, and then use the Session parameter of Invoke-Command to run the command in the PSSession. To run a command in a disconnected session, use the InDisconnectedSession parameter. To run a command in a background job, use the AsJob parameter. You can also use Invoke-Command on a local computer to a run script block as a command. PowerShell runs the script block immediately in a child scope of the current scope. Before using Invoke-Command to run commands on a remote computer, read about_Remote. Starting with PowerShell 6.0 you can use Secure Shell (SSH) to establish a connection to and invoke commands on remote computers. SSH must be installed on the local computer and the remote computer must be configured with a PowerShell SSH endpoint. The benefit of an SSH based PowerShell remote session is that it works across multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS). For SSH based session you use the HostName or SSHConnection parameters to specify the remote computer and relevant connection information. For more information about how to set up PowerShell SSH remoting, see PowerShell Remoting Over SSH. Some code samples use splatting to reduce the line length. For more information, see about_Splatting.
