How do I pass a local variable to a remote `Invoke-Command`? [duplicate]
(2 answers)
Closed 2 months ago.
I am working on a script to install software to remote PCs, and I ran into an issue I have never experienced before. I am trying to pass in the file name to Start-Process as a variable, but for some reason it does not like this, and hangs on the install. It will just sit indefinitely. The log file shows that this creates shows that the process terminated unexpectedly.
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ComputerName -ScriptBlock { Start-Process msiexec "/i c:\$FileName /lvx* c:\PackageManagement.log" -wait }
$FileName is test.msi which exists on the target computers C: drive as I copied it there.
I have tried using Powershell joins, I have tried using concat, I have tried setting the Start_Process command to it's own variable and using that. It just hangs. The computer is on, connected to the internet. When I replace $FileName in the code above with test.msi directly, it installs just fine.
If you use $using:FileName in place of just $FileName, that will give you what you are looking for on Powershell 3.0 or later.

PowerShell: Capture the output from external process that writes to stderr in a variable
(2 answers)
Closed 5 months ago.
I'm running 7-zip in a script and capturing the output in a variable:
$Results = (7z a $OutputFileName $InputFolder -bt -mm=LZMA -tzip) #will run and return no output
Occasionally the script will select some parameters that are not compatible, e.g. setting LZMA2 compression to a .zip archive:
$Results = (7z a $OutputFileName $InputFolder -bt -mm=LZMA2 -tzip)
when this runs, 7-zip somehow escapes the variable binding and writes directly to the console:
System ERROR:
Not implemented
How do I find the error stream that 7-zip is writing to and capture/suppress it?

How to let PowerShell use file as input to an executable?
for example, a directory like this
test.txt
text.exe
how to use test.txt as the input of test.exe in PowerShell?
Something like this should work
$settings =get-content "Path\test.txt"
$filename = "Path\text.exe"
Start-Process -FilePath $filename -ArgumentList $settings

Copy file remotely with PowerShell

local machine = from where you are executing command
Server machine = where you copy files.
copy (localfile) to server machine
You need to have administrative access on both machines.
Copy-Item -Path "\\\ServerB\SharedFile" -Destination "$Env:USERPROFILE" -Force -PassThru -Verbose
However, I do not recommend using powershell to do this. There are more reliable and easier methods. It is unlikely but this may corrupt a file.

I run a PowerShell script. How do I get the directory path of this script I run?
How to do this?
PowerShell 3 has the $PSScriptRoot automatic variable:
Contains the directory from which a script is being run.
In Windows PowerShell 2.0, this variable is valid only in script modules (.psm1). Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, it is valid in all scripts.
Don't be fooled by the poor wording. PSScriptRoot is the directory of the current file.
In PowerShell 2, you can calculate the value of $PSScriptRoot yourself:
# PowerShell v2
$PSScriptRoot = Split-Path -Parent -Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
