Below example shows how to trigger PowerShell scripts on a remote Windows machine and run as background jobs.
trigger.ps1
Invoke-Command -ComputerName testvm-03 -ScriptBlock {&C:\posh\io\iostress.ps1} -AsJob
Invoke-Command -ComputerName testvm-02 -ScriptBlock {&C:\posh\io\iostress.ps1} -AsJob
Invoke-Command -ComputerName testvm-01 -ScriptBlock {&C:\posh\io\iostress.ps1} -AsJob
Invoke-Command is used to execute scripts remotely. Above script (trigger.ps1) invokes a PS script (iostress.ps1) on 3 remote machines. Here the script being executed is saved on the corresponding remote machine itself. As each of the invoke-command is running as a background job on the local machine, the second invoke-command doesn't have to wait for the first invoke-command to complete and the third invoke-command doesn't have to wait for the first and second invoke-commands to complete. From the user perspective the command prompt returns immediately even if the jobs take longer time to complete. This case will be useful if you want to run a script on multiple remote machines at the same time.
