Hi Jeff,
Where we can add the remote computer Name
thx
Hi Rohan,
You can use the -ComputerName parameter for that. It automatically connects to the remote computer when you use the -ComputerName parameter with the name of the remote computer.
Jeff.
Thanks this is very helpful, I am trying to do almost the same thing but I would like to enable UAC depending on the user account that logs in.
