#this works fine, too Start-Job -name "createZIP" -ScriptBlock { compress-archive -path "C:\foo" -destinationPath "C:\bar\my.zip" -force }

#Invoke-Command - this also works fine $PSSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName $servername Invoke-Command -session $PSSession -ScriptBlock { compress-archive -path "C:\foo" -destinationPath "C:\bar\my.zip" -force }
