Using the Active Directory Module Remotely

One of the most significant strengths of the PowerShell scripting language is the fact that it enables you to interact with not just one Microsoft system component or application, but pretty much with all of them. Once you begin making more involved scripting tools you may need to integrate multiple applications across multiple servers, and you may need to share data between them. When you begin doing that, the sky's the limit really.

One of the key foundations to being able to work in that way is to be able to remotely access the various PowerShell modules and functions that each of these applications provides. For example, Active Directory has a large library of AD-specific functions that lets you work with all of the objects you find in AD. Whether it be users, groups, domain controllers, credentials, etc. Anything you think up that you'd like to accomplish, you can make happen with PowerShell.

The only thing standing in your way, asides from having the proper permissions, is getting connected to a session that has these modules available. There are a few ways to get this done, and I've put a quick post up on my blog site as a personal reminder and for sharing purposes.
