Run PowerShell scripts on remote PC

Question

I have installed PS 1 0 on a remote PC RPC001   I used Windows Sysinternals tool PSExec exe to execute the following process on the remote    PSExec   RPC001 -u myID -p myPWD PowerShell C  script StartPS ps1 par1 par2   I can see the PowerShell exe process running on the remote PC afterwards  but it is actually doing nothing  just hanging there  I tried to put a simple code of  Write-Output Host  a string in the script  I run the same script on the remote by RTS  it works there   Not sure if I miss anything else to run the script by using PSExec  or it is PSExec exe limitation  I would like to start a PS script on remote to do something there locally  compress some files locally and remove old files  from my box   I asked a similar question in Stackoverflow  Run remote process by powershell  Don suggested me to use PSExec  It sounds like an alternative way to solve the issue  However  I cannot get it working with PowerShell  Any way to get PS working on remote PC   By the way  I cannot use PS 2 0 since my network does not allow me to install Windows XP SP3  which is required for PS 2 0

After further investigating on PSExec tool  I think I got the answer  I need to add -i option to tell PSExec to launch process on remote in interactive mode   PSExec   RPC001 -i -u myID -p myPWD PowerShell C  script StartPS ps1 par1 par2   Without -i  powershell exe is running on the remote in waiting mode  Interesting point is that if I run a simple bat  without PS in bat   it works fine  Maybe this is something special for PS case  Welcome comments and explanations
