Check IIS logFile.period on remote server with Powershell

I need to check the IIS log settings of about 100 servers. I'm running PS 5, and I've figured out that this gives me the settings for the local server:

Import-Module WebAdministration

Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites

Get-ItemProperty 'IIS:\Sites\Default Web Site' -Name logFile.period

What do I need to do in order to run the same thing on remote servers?

PSRemoting is what you are asking about.

This is a well-documented (using a GUI and PowerShell) thing and articles and sample code are all over the web.

'use remoting to get IIS logs'

Invoke-Command Runs commands on local and remote computers.

invoke-command -ComputerName 'IIS' -ScriptBlock {
    Import-Module WebAdministration
    Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites
    Get-ItemProperty 'IIS:\Sites\Default Web Site' -Name logFile.period
}
