Make unzip scrip run on another machine

Question

H i all so I came up with this little script. It's very unoptimized and I want to make the unzip part into a function. My main question is I'm copying this zip folder to another machine. Will it actually use this machine to unzip or will the work load be
done on the host that I'm sending it from.
Here's the code:
$a = Get-Content C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt
function Expand-ZIPFile($file, $destination)
$shell = new-object -com shell.application
$zip = $shell.NameSpace($file)
foreach($item in $zip.items())
$shell.Namespace($destination).copyhere($item)
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length; $i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
#Create directory
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path "\\$($a[$i])\C`$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\" -Force
#Move zip to directory
Copy-Item "\\nlcr2553218x4-1\C`$\Users\ttinker\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030.7z" "\\$($a[$i])\C`$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk" `
-Recurse -Force
#Unzip file
Expand-ZIPFile –File "\\$($a[$i])\C`$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030." `
–Destination "\\$($a[$i])\c$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk"
#Delete zip folder
Remove-Item "\\$($a[$i])\C`$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030.7z" -Recurse
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor green
$b = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
$c = $b.popup("DONE!!",10,"Test Message Box",1)
Would I need to make a batch file and if so how would I do this. Thanks

You'd need to use either Invoke-Command (if you have PS Remoting enabled) or PSExec (if not) to launch the extraction script on the remote machine.
