  I had an application that used to run under linux, so I would use:
  
  ssh user@hostname foo.exe
  rsh user@hostname foo.exe
  
  However, MS HPC Server 2008 does not support SSH or RSH, so I need to invoke a remote command. In another forum I was pointed to the PowerShell.
  
  So now I am doing the following:
  
  PS C:\> invoke-command -computername hostname -credential domain\username -scriptblock {C:\MyApp\foo.exe}
  
  I think that this is the right way to go, however I am now experiencing cross domain/trusted host issues, because I am seeing the following error:
  
  Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message :
   WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authent
  ication: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
   Possible causes are:
    -The user name or password specified are invalid.
    -Kerberos is used when no authentication method and no user name are specified.
    -Kerberos accepts domain user names, but not local user names.
    -The Service Principal Name (SPN) for the remote computer name and port does not exist.
    -The client and remote computers are in different domains and there is no trust between t
  he two domains.
   After checking for the above issues, try the following:
    -Check the Event Viewer for events related to authentication.
    -Change the authentication method; add the destination computer to the WinRM TrustedHosts
   configuration setting or use HTTPS transport.
   Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated.
     -For more information about WinRM configuration, run the following command: winrm help c
  onfig. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
      + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (:) [], PSRemotingTransportException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionStateBroken
  
  So I think that what I need to do now is figure out how to make sure that the systems that I intend to use all trust each other.
