Hi.
There is a difference if the target computer runs vista/7 or 8 compared to win xp - so what OS is it?
If the administrative share c$ is accessible (share active, not blocked by a firewall, option described here set http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942817 ), then simply connect a network drive and use credentials like this:
user: targetsystemname\adminofta
pw: anythingbutnotempty!

The target is a Server 2008, but in my testing I am using a Win7 in a workgroup mode.
Via GUI i can do \\computername\c$\folder\ and i get prompted then I get access but I want to avoid that and do it via powershell

You can still use the "DOS" net use for authenticating. Just execute
net use \\targetserver\c$ /u:targetserver\targetadmi
and you should be able to access the drive as \\targetserver\c$ from PS. That is still easier than to set up Remoting, though Remoting is the better way if you want to execute stuff remotely (not just get some files).

Qlemo,
I am trying to do the following
Clear-Host
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
net use Z: \\computername\c$ /u:computername\username 'password'
But, I do not see the Z drive.
By the way, i did open a question about it.
Thanks for your help.

If you post a follow-up question, please provide the link, so we do not have to search for it ;-).
I've tested to map a network drive, and had no issues with accessing it using a drive letter. Whatsoever, the New-PSDrive method shown in the other question is the "better" method as it is fully integrated into PS. Be aware that the drives mapped with New-PSDrive are not visible to DOS commands.
