PowerShell Remote WUSA.exe Not working / access denied

When you require installation of MSU files the local solution using wusa.exe to install the patches / hotfixes will work like a charm running it locally.

Example on installation windows management framework 5.1:

wusa 'C:\Install\Win8.1AndW2K12R2-KB3191564-x64.msu' /quiet /norestart |wait-process

or using start-process

start-process -FilePath 'wusa.exe' -ArgumentList "C:\Install\Win8.1AndW2K12R2-KB3191564-x64.msu /norestart" -wait

Both solutions will install the MSU locally using Wusa.exe.

If you want to remotely install these MSU files using PowerShell ie. invoke-command. You will get an access denied message.

The reason for this is wusa.exe is not allowed to run remote!!

You can though extract the files using wusa.exe and after extraction install them using dism.exe.
