test-connection -asjob parameter (powershell 5.1)

None of this is true. -AsJob multithread pings all the computers at once, and a regular user can do it, (unless you mean the remote firewall allows ping?)

"-AsJob

To use this parameter, the local and remote computers must be configured for remoting and, on Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system, you must open PowerShell by using the Run as administrator option."

Good catch. The description for -AsJob was copied from other cmdlets where those restrictions applied. I will get it fixed.
