  • Receive-Job - Gets the results of background jobs.
  • Stop-Job - Stops running a background job and keeps it in memory.
  • Wait-Job - Suppresses the command prompt until one or all jobs are complete.
  • Remove-Job - Deletes a background job.
  • Invoke-Command - The AsJob parameter runs any command as a background job on a remote computer. You can also use Invoke-Command to run any job command remotely, including a Start-Job command.
