Powershell Remote Commands

I'm trying to run the get-service command on a remote machine in powershell. After doing some research, it appears this is only possilbe n powershell 2 CTP, which I cannot use as I need to use the version of powershell installed with exchange, which is usualy 1. It seems the -computerName switch is only availible in get-service in ps 2. So i've pretty much decided its a no-go, but wanted to see if anyone here had an clever solutions before I give up on it.

From stackoverflow

• Well, you can go directly to WMI the get the service information.

  gwmi Win32_Service -computername FOO
  

• This will work in v1:

  [System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController]::GetServices("String machineName")

• Those are all fine answers but they only help you with Services. What you want is somethign that will work with anything:

  WINRS is your best friend!

  [4120:0]PS> winrs -r:localhost powershell get-service h*
  
  Status   Name               DisplayName
  ------   ----               -----------
  Running  hidserv            Human Interface Device Access
  Running  hkmsvc             Health Key and Certificate Management
  Stopped  HomeGroupListener  HomeGroup Listener
  Running  HomeGroupProvider  HomeGroup Provider
  

  BTW - WINRS uses WS-MAN which means it will work across firewalls.

  Experiment! Enjoy! Engage!
