To know how Invoke-Command works remotely check the below image : Apart from this, lets talk more about Invoke-Command. If you run invoke-command locally will this DeSerialization, conversion to XML etc will happen? the answer is NO. Since you are running it locally all this process are not performed. Further a Deserialized object Type i.e. the data fetched remotely through invoke-command contains only few methods as shown in the below image. Hence suppose you are fetching service info using invoke-command remotely and storing the output in a variable, you won’t get methods to Start or Stop the service. Example : $Service = Invoke-Command -Cn “Test” -ScriptBlock {get-service bits} $Service will show the process details, but you can’t perfom $Service.Stop() or $Service.Start() since its the deserialized data. But you can perform like this : $Service = Invoke-Command -Cn “Test” -ScriptBlock {get-service bits | Stop-Service} This will do the task you are lo
