How to remote onto networked PC using powershell

Question

Is someone able to explain to me how I am able to connect onto a pc on the same network as my pc using powershell or a powershell script?

for example my local pc is 192.168.1.250 and the remote pc is 192.168.1.251

Both windows 7 pcs and on a home network.

Thanks, Alex Hawkins

If you're referring to opening a remote powershell prompt then you would use:

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName dc1

This assumes you have made all the necessary configuration settings to allow this on the remote system.

Does the same go for using an IP address rather than -ComputerName? – A Hawkins Nov 23 '15 at 08:52
I do believe it should also work with the IP, but you still use the -ComputerName switch – rootchord Nov 24 '15 at 16:14
