In this article I will be covering remote installation using powershell. Powershell is windows scripting tool and may replace cmd (Command prompt) gradually over the time. Powershell has remoting feature as same as ssh in linux. Powershell uses WS-Manangement protocol to connect remotely, and it need to be enabled on remote server (as same as remote desktop).
Requirement is both the server and client should have powershell installed. below steps done to enable psremoting.
Start PowerShell as administrator and fire below command.
Enable-PSRemoting
Basically it does below main things
Start WinRM service (Windows Remote Management (WS-Management)), set to auto automatic start. Add any hosts * in the listeners (clients) list (any computers in the same domain can connect over WINRM protocol), and the last thing is to enable firewall exception for WS-management traffic.
Type couple of Y to agree all the required changes. This need to be setup on remote server. And you are ready to connect.
In this section I will be using SCCM client to install remotely, as usual it is located on shared drive, From any other server open powershell, Go with the below command. Line in the bold is invoke-command (to execute command remotely) and you will need to replace hostname according to your need (provide netbios name only, To work IP address correctly you will need to add ips to trusted host list.), In the curly brackets I have executed SCCM client kept on shared drive, ccmsetup.exe with its parameters pointing toward site code and other info.
Invoke-Command -ComputerName Client001 -Command {\\ad001\Softwares\SCCMClient\CCMSetup.exe /mp:SMSMP01 /logon SMSSITECODE=S01 FSP=SMSFSP01}
Here you are done and you can check on the remote server for Installed application.
There are more methods I will be addressing in my next articles.

Nice article admin thanks for share your atricle keep share your knowledge i am waiting for your new post check hi vis jacket girls knee high socks kindly review and reply me
It's a very helpful article but sometimes PowerShell seems so complicated in learning for general users. So, you can try an alternative way to
install software remotely on multiple computers. Take a look at the free cloud-based tool Action1 to solve this issue.
Hi,
Can you please provide me a way to install set of applications remotely using Powershell on a system which is connected over a domain without using the SCCM Client. I have worked on SCCM before but not many companies in India use SCCM Client to deploy and install software packages in the remote system.
I am actively searching for this type of script which can help me in the above installation process only using a remote connection and Powershell.
