Run directly in the Windows PowerShell consoleД«ut I do not need to open the script in the Windows PowerShell ISE instead, I can run it directly from the Windows PowerShell console. The script and the output from the script are shown here. The remote server is named DC1, but my local laptop is named EDLT.

For instance, the remote server is a Dell device, but my local laptop is a Lenovo device. Keep in mind that the script resides on a remote file share, but the execution of the script takes place on my local computer, and the output that is displayed relates to my local computer. On the subsequent lines, I see the output. At the top of the output pane, I see the UNC location to the script. When I am ready, I click the green triangle (or press F5) to run the script. I view (and edit if required) the script from the remote file share. I am now viewing the files from the share, as shown in the following image.

In the Open dialog box, I type the UNC path to the remote file share and I press ENTER.

The cool thing is that I can open a Windows PowerShell script in the Windows PowerShell ISE on my 64-bit laptop (running WindowsВ 8a and Windows PowerShellВ 3.0) from the remote file share. SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1 Open script in ISE I did this by using the Invoke-Command cmdlet ( icm is an alias) as shown here: I also found out that the server is running Windows PowerShellВ 2.0.

If I want to look at the files in a GUI, I can type the path into Internet Explorer, and view the files in the File Explorer as shown in the following image.ДЇor a background, I happen to know that the remote server is running 32-bit Windows ServerВ 2008. I can then use the Get-ChildItem command ( dir is an alias) to view the files in the shared folder. I can open Windows PowerShell and use the Net View command to see all of the shares. So I have this shared folder on one of my servers.
