Is there a way to check if the current Powershell script is being executed over a WinRM/PS Remoting session?

Question

I have a case where I have some Powershell code to install software that is not supported to install over WinRM/PS Remoting. Is there a way I can check in the script whether it's currently executing in the context of a WinRM or PS Remoting session? I'm aware of how to check if a returned object came from a remote execution, but not how to check whether the current context is remote or not.

Are you trying to check being in the script which is getting executed remotely ? — Prasoon Karunan V

Yes, I want to write a check in the script to bail if it's being run over Powershell Remoting. — codewario

You can check the $PSSenderInfo automatic variable which will be null in local sessions.
