    So I'm working on a powershell script that can be a discovery method to assist small business, etc.

    If I'm on a domain joined PC, I know I can do the following to get a list of the bridgehead servers:

    $Sites = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest().Sites            
    ($Sites.bridgeheadservers).name

    But if I'm on a non-domain joined PC, I'm having a hard time figuring out how I can run this command and be able to specify credentials, forest/domain name, etc.  I can't seem to find a way of using Get-ADForest, etc to get this data either.

    You can't if the system you are on is not allowed to connect to AD using other than Kerberos.

    This is how to use your command.

    [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest().Sites.bridgeheadservers.name

    This command only uses the current AD authentication available.

    You can also do this:

    $forest = Get-AdForest -Server <adserver> -Credential <yourid>
