I want to install universal forwarder on multiple windows machine.

I tried using this command

Invoke-Command -ComputerName "Desktopname" -Scriptblock {msiexec /i path of forwarder(.msi) file} . 

Without desktopname ,I am able to install the file but when i specify the desktopname iam getting this error

Connecting to remote server desktopname failed with the following error message : Access is
denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
   + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (desktopname:String) [], PSRemotingTransportException
   + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AccessDenied,PSSessionStateBroken

Any suggestions would be helpful.
