PSClient Control
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The PSClient component can be used to execute PowerShell commands remotely on PowerShell Server.
Syntax
PSClient
Remarks
PSClient allows any PowerShell command to be executed remotely in a secure manner, using the SSH protocol. The results of the command execution are then returned as a list of objects, each one with a base type, an (optional) value and a collection of named properties.
Note: By default no profiles are loaded when executing. However you can use dot-sourcing to load any profile. For example:
./profiles/YourProfile.ps1
