From a 2008 R2 machine, open a PowerShell Windows and type in I my case I am connecting to the 2003 machine from a Windows 2008 R2 machine. Now you should be able to go to a different computer that has powershell enabled and test connecting to the 2003 machine. Open PowerShell on the Windows 2003 Server and run the command Enable-psRemoting. Scroll down and find: Windows Management Instrumentation and Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) and make sure they are both started and set to run automatically.

So, take a bit of advice and install PowerShell on all your servers, just in case you ever need the power of PowerShell on your server you will have it available.
