Answer 1

To work on a remote machine you can use the New-PSSession command: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849717.aspx
And to do stuff on a remote machine you can use the Invoke-Command: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849719.aspx

Or you can work with a UNC Path

$path = '\\' + $host + '\c$\System32'
