Run powershell script on 2003 server

Question

I have powershell installed on my windows 8 PC, can I connect to remote 2003 server via powershell with out installing powershell on windows 2003 server? and run powershell commands?

Answer 1

The answer is NO. You can from you PC query some information of remote computer using WMI ( get-wmiobject cmdlet ) or other informations with

get-process -computername remotecomputername 

or

get-service -computername remotecomputername

and at the moment I can't remember other cmdlets not requiring remote powershell installation.
