In the event you have computers that are unreachable with Invoke-Command either because WinRm is not running or PsRemoting is disabled here is a good, sure way I've found works everytime, in my environement at least:
$target_comp = "abc1234"
Invoke-WmiMethod -ComputerName $target_comp -Path win32_process -Name create -ArgumentList "powershell.exe -command Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck -Force"
Invoke-WmiMethod -ComputerName $target_comp -Path win32_process -Name create -ArgumentList "powershell.exe -command winrm quickconfig -quiet"
do {
$testpsremoting = invoke-command -computername $target_comp -scriptblock {"test"}
} while (!$testpsremoting)
#REST OF CODE
Explanation :
-Declare variable of your computer name.
-Run the two commands to enable PsRemoting and setup WinRM via Invoke-WmiMethod.
*Since Invoke-WmiMethod returns instantly without WAITING for the commands to actually be done:
-Make a loop that runs until PsRemoting is enabled (until the test Invoke-Command works).
No more Invoke-Command problems! Enjoy and fine tune to your heart's content.
