Question

Is there a way to start IE on a remote machine pointing it to a specific URL using powershell.

This script will only open on my local machine:

$PC = Read-Host "Name of machine to run cookie creator on"
$URL = "http://www.google.co.uk"
$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible=$true
$ie.navigate($URL) 

Any ideas? Thanks

Solution

You can't.

When you use PowerShell remoting, it creates a session on the remote computer which cannot be interacted with and has no UI. So while you can start the IE process, the UI will never be visible to any user.
