InvokeCommandCommand	This cmdlet executes a specified script block on one or more remote machines. The expression or command, as they will be interchangeably called, need to be contained in a script block. This is to ensure two things: 1. The expression that the user has entered is syntactically correct (its compiled) 2. The scriptblock can be converted to a powershell object before transmitting it to the remote end so that it can be run on constrained runspaces in the no language mode In general, the command script block is executed as if the user had typed it at the command line. The output of the command is the output of the cmdlet. However, since invoke-command is a cmdlet, it will unravel its output: - if the command outputs an empty array, invoke-command will output $null - if the command outputs a single-element array, invoke-command will output that single element. Additionally, the command will be run on a remote system. This cmdlet can be called in the following different ways: Execute a command in a remote machine by specifying the command and machine name invoke-command -Command {get-process} -computername "server1" Execute a command in a set of remote machines by specifying the command and the list of machines $servers = 1..10 | ForEach-Object {"Server${_}"} invoke-command -command {get-process} -computername $servers Create a new runspace and use it to execute a command on a remote machine $runspace = New-PSSession -computername "Server1" $credential = get-credential "user01" invoke-command -command {get-process} -Session $runspace -credential $credential Execute a command in a set of remote machines by specifying the complete uri for the machines $uri = "http://hostedservices.microsoft.com/someservice" invoke-command -command { get-mail } - uri $uri Create a collection of runspaces and use it to execute a command on a set of remote machines $serveruris = 1..8 | ForEach-Object {"http://Server${_}/"} $runspaces = New-PSSession -URI $serveruris invoke-command -command {get-process} -Session $runspaces The cmdlet can also be invoked in the asynchronous mode. invoke-command -command {get-process} -computername $servers -asjob When the -AsJob switch is used, the cmdlet will emit an PSJob Object. The user can then use the other job cmdlets to work with this object Note there are two types of errors: 1. Remote invocation errors 2. Local errors. Both types of errors will be available when the user invokes a receive operation. The PSJob object has its own throttling mechanism. The result object will be stored in a global cache. If a user wants to retrieve data from the result object the user should be able to do so using the Receive-PSJob cmdlet The following needs to be noted about exception/error reporting in this cmdlet: The exception objects that are thrown by underlying layers will be written as errors, to avoid stopping the entire cmdlet in case of multi-computername or multi-Session usage (for consistency, this is true even when done using one computername or runspace) Only one expression may be executed at a time in any single runspace. Attempts to invoke an expression on a runspace that is already executing an expression shall return an error with ErrorCategory ResourceNotAvailable and notify the user that the runspace is currently busy. Some additional notes: invoke-command issues a single scriptblock to the computer or runspace. If a runspace is specified and a command is already running in that runspace, then the second command will fail The files necessary to execute the command (cmdlets, scripts, data files, etc) must be present on the remote system; the cmdlet is not responsible for copying them over The entire input stream is collected and sent to the remote system before execution of the command begins (no input streaming) Input shall be available as $input. Remote Runspaces must reference $input explicitly (input will not automatically be available) Output from the command streams back to the client as it is available Ctrl-C and pause/resume are supported; the client will send a message to the remote powershell instance. By default if no -credential is specified, the host will impersonate the current user on the client when executing the command The standard output of invoke-command is the output of the last element of the remote pipeline, with some extra properties added If -Shell is not specified, then the value of the environment variable DEFAULTREMOTESHELLNAME is used. If this is not set, then "Microsoft.PowerShell" is used.

ReceiveJobCommand	Cmdlet used for receiving results from job object. This cmdlet is intended to have a slightly different behavior in the following two cases: 1. The job object to receive results from is a PSRemotingJob In this case, the cmdlet can use two additional parameters to filter results - ComputerName and Runspace The parameters help filter out results for a specified computer or runspace from the job object $job = Start-PSJob -Command 'get-process' -ComputerName server1, server2 Receive-PSJob -Job $job -ComputerName server1 $job = Start-PSJob -Command 'get-process' -Session $r1, $r2 Receive-PSJob -Job $job -Session $r1 2. The job object to receive results is a PSJob (or derivative other than PSRemotingJob) In this case, the user cannot will use the location parameter to do any filtering and will not have ComputerName and Runspace parameters $job = Get-WMIObject '....' -AsJob Receive-PSJob -Job $job -Location "Server2" The following will result in an error: $job = Get-WMIObject '....' -AsJob Receive-PSJob -Job $job -ComputerName "Server2" The parameter ComputerName cannot be used with jobs which are not PSRemotingJob.
ReceivePSSessionCommand	This cmdlet connects a running command associated with a PS session and then directs the command output either: a) To Host. This is the synchronous mode of the cmdlet which won't return until the running command completes and all output data is received on the client. b) To a job object. This is the asynchronous mode of the cmdlet which will return immmediately providing the job object that is collecting the running command output data. The running command becomes disconnected when the associated runspace is disconnected (via the Disconnect-PSSession cmdlet). The associated runspace object must be in the Opened state (connected) before the running command can be connected. If the associated runspace object is in the disconnected state, it will first be connected before the running command is connected. The user can specify how command output data is returned by using the public OutTarget enumeration (Host, Job). The default actions of this cmdlet is to always direct ouput to host unless a job object already exists on the client that is associated with the running command. In this case the existing job object is connected to the running command and returned.
