Remoting Scenarios
1:Many (fan-out): Large Scale Automation
Send the script to remote machines Select properties allows client to specify which properties to return Throttling limits the number of concurrent operations Job support runs commands in the background on client
1:1 (interactive): Secure Telnet Replacement
Cmdline equivalent of Remote Desktop Interact with a remote machine as if it were local No Invoke-Command required Ideal for troubleshooting a remote machine
Many:1 (fan-in): Delegated Administration & Hosting
Hosting model for web services No tools installation required on client Constrained session environment (cmdlets, parameters, language)
