$y = [WmiSearcher] $q
$y.Scope.Path = "file://server/root/microsoftiisv2"

$a = $y.Get()
foreach ( $b in $a ) {
write-host $b.LogFileDirectory " + " $b.Name
}

Run Powershell commands on remote computer.

Before you do any of this, you must run the following command in an admin PowerShell command prompt on the machine where you would like to run the remote command:


winrm quickconfig




need to open up the client connection permissions.
You may not want to open it up to anywhere though.
Something like this should also work:


C:\Windows\System32>winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="Server811"}



gacutil, assembly, Check dll

Assembly Location:

get-pssnapin | select assemblyName | export-csv test.csv

check the GAC using something like gacutil /l "System.Management.Automation"




Finding an assembly:

Here's a trick to find it from within PowerShell:

$ref=[psobject].assembly.location
