Easiest way to do that is to have both machines on the same domain and set the remote permissions appropriately; I'm pretty sure it would be possible to do this in a workgroup, but you'd have to use trickery to do it (e.g. have the same username and password on both machines and use that account to do the test).[/quote]Yeah, I guess using some trickery is what I'm going to have to do, in my workgroup domain.Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:52:30 GMTDoctor Who 2http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1423349-1351-1.aspxIt sounds like that command is trying to access the spooler service on the other machine, and that isn't going to work unless you have permissions to do that.

Sorry I was terse, I was standing in the middle of a field (no shoveling or hitching involved).Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:22:32 GMTGary Vargahttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1423349-1351-1.aspxI'm pretty new to PowerShell; I didn't even know about the -Full switch.So, after running the command again, using the -Full switch, I got the following message:[quote]The spooler service is not reachable.

So I did a [b]Get-Help Get-Printer -examples[/b] and saw that I can issue the command [b]Get-Printer -ComputerName[/b] [i]<computer name>[/i]. So, that's what I tried to do, but it doesn't work in my home network. Is this because I only have a peer-to-peer workgroup at home? Do commands like [b]Get-Printer -ComputerName[/b] [i]<computer name>[/i] only work in Active Directory domains?Sat, 23 Feb 2013 08:46:35 GMTDoctor Who 2
