On a local 64-bit machine, I can open 'PowerShell (x86)'. But if I do 'Enter-PSSession' to another machine running a 64-bit OS, it creates a 64-bit PowerShell.
In my scenario I need a 32-bit PowerShell session. How can I get one?

I found the answer. You have to use the -ConfigurationName
parameter, like this:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName COMPUTERNAME -ConfigurationName Microsoft.PowerShell32
You can get the list of available configurations with:
Get-PSSessionConfiguration
Note that the configurations are specific to the remote machine. In my quick tests, a 32-bit OS only has Microsoft.PowerShell
which is 32-bit, while a 64-bit OS has Microsoft-PowerShell
for 64-bit and Microsoft-PowerShell32
for 32-bit.
4Additionally, if Microsoft.PowerShell32 is not available on your 64bit machine you can register it using: Register-PSSessionConfiguration Microsoft.PowerShell32 -processorarchitecture x86 -force – Sam Martin – 2014-09-18T08:13:13.520
