Run a program on remote Windows system and get its stdout/stderr
The task: execute program/script on remote Windows system, and get its stdout/stderr.
Apart from setting up SSHd on remote system (say, Cygwin openssh server) and running ssh to execute commands/get output, less complex means would be preferred (in most cases, it is not possible to request a running SSH daemon on Windows).
I tried using PsExec, but that piece of software behaves unpredictably:
- when I run remote simple command like "C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /c dir c:", it works fine; when I try running more complex commands, it can fail with a message like "Unable to start service"
- when I run PsExec command from cmd.exe, it works; when I try to run it via Invoke-Command from PS, it returns a binary garbage looking like "═хтхЁэ√щ фхёъЁшяЄюЁ"
Systems I try running script on: Windows 8, Window 10. Remote systems are all at least Windows 8 or newer (and corresponding Windows Server versions).

What is an example for "more complex"? If you are already running PowerShell why not use PowerShell remoting? What does your command for Invoke-Command look like? Depending on what you're actually trying to run not every option might work.
