Testing Connections to Other computers

PowerShell 4 has a handy feature called Test-Connection 

More info at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849808.aspx

You can also invoke powershell commands on a remote computer using a command like

invoke-command -ComputerName 192.168.2.192 -ScriptBlock { get-wmiobject win32_process | select caption  | where {$_.caption -eq "firefox.exe" } } -credential Administrator

However, before that command will work in a none domain environment, you'll need to set up some trusts.

Got this from http://www.howtogeek.com/117192/how-to-run-powershell-commands-on-remote-computers/

Run on all computers in the party...

Set-Item wsman:\localhost\client\trustedhosts 192.168.2.111

Then you'll need to run 

Restart-Service WinRM

You may also have to run 

Enable-PSRemoting -Force
