I tried Invoke-item, Invoke-process, ... for executing. I will appreciate if you help me.

Based on my knowledge, we can't use invoke-item to open file in powershell remote session.
When we run Invoke-Item "c:\test1.txt", we can't open this txt file in powershell session(no interaction), but this process run in background, we can use gps to get it, like this:

According to your description, we can run .cmd in Powershell remote session, like this:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName 40.71.248.64 -Credential jason
[40.71.248.64]: PS C:\Users\jason\Documents> cd c:\
[40.71.248.64]: PS C:\> .\test.cmd

C:\>ipconfig /all
