.framework class powershell remote machine

Hi Guys,

I can't seem to use the -computer switch in powershell when I type a .net frame class e.g :

[System.Environment]::MachineName

[System.Environment]::OSVersion

[System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariables()

how can I do this - run these commands on a remote machine?

Also how can I retrieve a list of all that's available under the system class?

thank you in advance.

thank you, I wanted to include .net framework classes in a script, and there are multiple servers in question.

I have heard that cmdlets are actually .net framework classes, so I am wondering could there be a way to create a new cmdlet in .net and include the -computer switch?/

thanks, problem with psremoting is that it has to enabled on every server, and I don't know if there is a quick way to do it without manually having to log into each one?

yea I really want to learn automation at an advanced level, therefore it seems like I need to lean c#.net too to become an expert.

so powershell developers make the cmdlets right for applications? example powercli used for VMware, would have been written by a powershell developer, the netapp storage also has a powershell module and this again would having been written by a powershell developer?

is the powercli module for vsphere written using c#?
