How to execute a powershell script available in remote machine?
I was trying to execute a script in remote computer.
I did "Enable-PSremoting" in the remote machine.
I placed a script hello.ps1 in remote machine.
[My client machine is Windows XP and remote computer is Windows 2003 ]
Then from my client computer i was trying to execute the script.
invoke-command -computer $MachineName -filepath "C:\hello.ps1"
I got the following error.
Invoke-Command : Cannot find path 'C:\hello.ps1' because it does not exist.
I think it tries to find script from client machine.
If i try to run
invoke-command -computer $MachineName -command { C:\hello.ps1 } , It executes the script available in remote machine in client side.
But i would like to execute the remote script in remote machine itself.
How to make it to run the script available in remote machine?
Updated:
Actually this command "invoke-command -computer $MachineName -command { C:\hello.ps1 }" works in remote side and returned the result to client side. I misunderstood by seeing the return values that it is executing at client side.
Answer
When you write :
invoke-command -computer $MachineName -filepath "C:\hello.ps1"
The script C:\hello.ps1 will be taken from the client computer and brought to the server to be executed. So you've got the error file does not exist because Invoke-Command is looking for the file in the client computer.
