- [Voiceover] One of the huge advantages of PowerShell…is be able to access remote servers…and get information from an administrative console.…So a lot of IT administrators actually will…run PowerShell on their clientside desktops…and use it to access servers…in their data center located elsewhere.…That could be on the same building,…it could be across the country, it really doesn't matter.…PowerShell doesn't care either.…Now if we look back once again at our Get-Service command…we have this just wonderful command that we use a lot…we show all our local services.…Now I ran it on my local server…so I'm getting that information…for my dcdsc server that I have,…but what if I wanna find out about a server named webserver?…All I have to do is type in the computer name parameter,…one of the most common parameters…for most commandlets is ComputerName.…
And what this is going to do is run…across the web and actually find out the services…for a ComputerName called webserver.…So I'm going to go ahead and run that…and it's gonna show me all the services.…
