Resizing a PowerShell window on a remote computer using a batch file - shell

Question

Wondering if anyone knows how to/if it is even possible to resize a PowerShell windows that I open on a remote computer using the batch file I used to run it.
1 #ECHO OFF
2 title Remote Start ProgramName Server
3 cd "C:\IT\FOLDER"
4
5 #ECHO OFF
6 SET /p _computer=Computer Name:
7
8 #ECHO "Launching Program Server On Remote PC %_computer%"
9
10 start PowerShell.exe .\psexec -i \\%_computer% '"C:\Program Files\ProgramFolder\programserver.exe"'
11
12 #ECHO "Launching ClientSideProgram on Local Machine"
13 start "" "C:\Program Files\ProgramFolder\programclient.exe"
14
15 PAUSE
16
17 start "" PowerShell.exe .\pskill \\%_computer% programserver.exe
18 ECHO "Program Server Terminated"
19
20 PAUSE
So as far as I have tested this, it works, but when I do start PowerShell.exe on line 10, it, as expected opens a powershell. THIS is the powershell I would like to resize to the smallest possible size, so that it's not as big of a nuisance when it opens.
Thanks in advance for whatever help anyone has
Edit: If resizing is not possible, can I just 'hide' it? or move it to the background at all?

Answer 1

This is a batch file that is just using PowerShell to call psexec.
Either use PowerShell Remoting ---
Running Remote Commands
Start an Interactive Session To start an interactive session with a
single remote computer, use the Enter-PSSession cmdlet. For example,
to start an interactive session with the Server01 remote computer,
type:
Enter-PSSession Server01
Run a Remote Command To run a command on one or more computers, use
the Invoke-Command cmdlet. For example, to run a Get-UICulture command
on the Server01 and Server02 remote computers, type:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server01, Server02 -ScriptBlock {Get-UICulture}
--- or use PSexec and target that remote host.
PsExec - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs
Using psExec to Open a Remote Command Window
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/systemcenteressentials/2009/09/01/using-psexec-to-open-a-remote-command-window
psExec \computer cmd
PsExec (SysInternals)
Execute a command-line process on a remote machine.
Much of PSRemoting requires that you use an account that is in the local admin group on the target. However, there are some that do not.
The only reason to use PSExec over PSRemoting is if PSRemoting is not enabled and if you need to run Code in the context of the logged on user.
# PowerShell only via PSRemoting
$TargetComputerName = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter a computer name.'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $TargetComputerName -ScriptBlock {
'C:\Program Files\ProgramFolder\programserver.exe'
} -Credential 'contoso\administrator'
# PSExec only
psexec \SomeTargetComputerName -c C:\Program Files\ProgramFolder\programserver.exe
With PSRemoting nothing is ever displayed on the targethost.
With that PSExec command, nothing is ever displayed on the targethost.
If you use PSExec to run in the context of the logged on user on that target host, then stuff will display when you call PowerShell.exe unless you use the minimize or hide switches.
This indicates that you are new to PowerShell and PowerShell remoting commands. Please hit up YouTube and view some of the talks on PSRemoting, running remote command, running remote programs, well, PowerShell in general.

Answer 2

Found the answer from a fellow colleague of mine. Apparently, very easy to just star minimized.
start /MIN
will do just that
