                             -ComputerName Srv1
      Install-WindowsFeature -Name FS-DFS-Namespace `
                             -IncludeManagementTools `
                             -ComputerName Srv2

      New-SmbShare -Name ShareData -Path E:\ShareData `                                   -FullAccess Everyone
      }
      Invoke-Command -ComputerName Srv1, Srv2 `                     -ScriptBlock $Sb
