How to robocopy folder between 2 servers in different domains?

I have the following function to robocopy (mirror) files from $sourcepath to $targetPath and works fine. How will I achieve the same if $targetPath machine is in another domain?

i.e. sourceServer - Domain1, targetServer - Domain2 

function evpcopy {
  begin {
    #Recommended options
    $switchNP = "/NP"    #No Progress - don't display percentage copied

    #Copy options
    $switchMIR = "/MIR"  #MIRror a directory tree (equivalent to /E plus /PURGE)
    $switchR = "/R:3"    #number of Retries on failed copies: default 1 million
    $switchW = "/W:1"    #Wait time between retries: default is 30 seconds

    $sourcePath = '\\sourceServer\d$\EVP'
    $targetPath = '\\targetServer\d$\EVP'

    #Log File Function
    $InputLogFile = 'D:\logs'

    if (!(Test-Path -Path $InputLogFile)) {
      Write-EventLog -LogName Application -source EvpScript -EventId 1234 -message "path $InputLogFile doesn't exist! `n"
    }

    $logfile = $InputLogFile + "\" + ((Get-Date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd')) + "_" + $sourcePath.Split('\')[-1].Replace(" ", "_") + ".txt" 
    $switchlogfile = "/TEE", "/LOG+:$logfile"
  }

  process {
    $run = robocopy.exe $sourcePath $targetPath $switchNP $switchR $switchW $switchMIR $switchlogfile |
           foreach { $ErrorActionPreference = "silentlycontinue" }
  }

  end {}
} #end robocopy function

Map the target path to a drive and copy to that drive:

net use X: $targetPath /user:Domain2\username password
robocopy $sourcePath X: ...
net use X: /delete

The last line is to remove the drive after you're finished, so it doesn't keep lingering.
