Re-Post: #SharePoint 2010 with Windows #PowerShell Remoting Step by Step
Enable Remoting support on SharePoint Server box
- Enable Windows PowerShell Remoting
- Increase memory limit for remote shell (Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000)
- Setup CredSSP support
Setup client machine for Remoting
- Enable CredSSP support
- Store and use credentials for scripting
A credential in Windows PowerShell is a object which contains username (as plain text) and password (as secure string).
First, use the following command to covert password from keyboard input to a secure string in a text file.
Read-Host -AsSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString | out-file C:\crd-sharepoint.txt
![snap0099[5]](http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/opal/WindowsLiveWriter/SharePoint2010PowerShellRemoting_135B8/snap0099%5B5%5D.png "snap0099[5]"){kind=small}
When you need to create a credential object, read this password (the secure string) from the file and create the credential with the following command:
$pwd = Get-Content C:\crd-sharepoint.txt | ConvertTo-SecureString
then create the credential (replace myusername with your domain\username):
$crd = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "myusername",$pwd
Then you will be able to use this credential in the command line without any dialogue.
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName sharepoint.contoso.com -Authentication CredSSP -Credential $crd
3. Load SharePoint Windows PowerShell Snap-in
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell

The key to unlocking the ability of Windows PowerShell to create useful formulas is to leverage the static methods from the system.math class. You can easily see them by using the Get-Member cmdlet, as shown here:
PS C:\> [math] | Get-Member -Static | Format-Table name, membertype -AutoSize

#Fitnesse;#PowerSlim;Test-Path
Good news:) With Fitnesse + PowerSlim the problem described here can be solved gracefully. You can use Test-Path PowerShell CMDlet:
!|script|PowerShell|
|check|eval|Test-Path "C:\ExportEmpty\*"|False|
|check|eval|Test-Path "c:\ExportNotEmpty\*"|True|Query File lines
With powerslim you can Query a file.
!|script|PowerShell|
|eval |!-function get_lines($file){Get-Content $file | % {New-Object PSObject -Property @{Line=$_}}}-!|
!|Query:PowerShell|get_lines c:\myfile.txt|
|Line|
|text at first line|
|text at second line|
