PowerShell: CmdLets with the -ComputerName parameter

The PowerShell cmdLets that have the -computerName parameter do not use WS-Management-based PowerShell remoting, so they can be run on any computer that is running PowerShell without configuring these computers for remoting (See PsSession).

CmdLets with the -computerName parameter include

• invoke-command
• restart-computer
• stop-computer
• get-counter
• test-connection
