Windows Form on Remote Computer

Is it possible to have a Windows Form sent to a remoter computer?

This is the code that I was able to put together that show a form on my computer. I am trying to figure out how (if possible to send this to a remote computer:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

$Form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form

$Form.Text = "Reboot Message"

$Icon = [system.drawing.icon]::ExtractAssociatedIcon($PSHOME + "\powershell.exe")

$Form.Icon = $Icon

$Form.AutoSize = $True

$Form.AutoSizeMode = "GrowAndShrink"
# or GrowOnly

#$Form.AutoScroll = $True

$Form.BackColor = "Red"
# color names are static properties of System.Drawing.Color
# you can also use ARGB values, such as "#FFFFEBCD"

#$Form.Opacity = 0.7
# 1.0 is fully opaque; 0.0 is invisible

$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
# CenterScreen, Manual, WindowsDefaultLocation, WindowsDefaultBounds, CenterParent

$Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font("Times New Roman",24,[System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Italic)
# Font styles are: Regular, Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikeout

$Form.Font = $Font

$Label = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label

$Label.Text = "Please reboot your computer at your earliest convenience, Thank you!"

$Label.AutoSize = $True

$Form.Controls.Add($Label)

$Form.ShowDialog()

TIA!

I did find that one but I was hoping to be able to use Windows Forms as I included in my original message.

Please let me know if it is not possible to use PowerShell to run this Windows Form to a remote computer.

Thank you!

you could invoke-command on the remote computer.
i.e. Invoke-Command -Computername $RemoteComputer -ScriptBlock { Get-ChildItem "C:\Program Files" }
