Using PowerShell Remoting
In this recipe, we will use PowerShell Remoting to execute commands on a remote machine.
Getting ready

Log in to ZERATULDC, or to a machine you want to use for remoting. We need to enable PowerShell Remoting. Check out the system and permission requirements for running PowerShell Remoting from MSDN about_Remote_Requirements, available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh847859.aspx.
