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)
