Get-Software-ComputerName'RemotePC'

 

The above function works when I run it without the -computername parameter, it gets all of my locally installed software.  When I try to use the -computername it still returns the software from my local computer.   I have confirmed that the target machine I use in -computername 'remotepc' is online, I can Invoke-Commands on it and I have rights.

Why won't this run on a remote machine?
