Asynchronous and remote execution with powershell 2 ctp3 (Tuesday, June 30, 2009) - An interesting feature released with the PowerShell 2 CTP3 is the ability to run background jobs consisting of arbitrary PowerShell code. In order to use this functionality you must download and install the PowerShell 2 CTP3 and the WinRM (Windows Remote Management) 2.0 CTP. Keep in mind that installing the CTP requires uninstalling previous versions of PowerShell.
