LastExitCode of invoke-command does not match condition - powershell

Question

I am running script through jenkins and the Invoke command should fail as the file already exits and should reach exit code 1 and error out and show a fail in jenkins but instead it still is exiting 0 as green
I have tried using Try catch and using $? but still cannot get this to show as red when failure
$Time = $args[1]
$Server = $args[2]
$username = $args[3]
$password = $args[4]
$pass="$password"|ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential("ad\$username",$pass)
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $Server -Credential $Cred -ErrorAction Stop
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {netsh trace start capture=yes tracefile=C:\Traces\netsh.etl}
If ($LastExitCode -eq 1)
{
exit 1
}
write-host "hello world"
start-sleep -Seconds $Time
Invoke-command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {netsh trace stop}
If ($LastExitCode -eq 1)
{
exit 1
}
exit 0
The file already exists which should be expected but not reaching the exit 1 inside either if statements when it should.

Answer 1

The $LastExistCode you are testing is on the local system, but you are running the command on a remote system. Try returning the $LastExistCode at the end of your scriptblock and test the result of the Invoke-Command
For example:
$result = Invoke-command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {netsh trace stop; $LastExitCode}
If ($result -eq 1)
{
exit 1
}
This assumes that netsh itself doesn't return anything (I didn't test it). If it does, you can typically supress the output by piping it to Out-Null:
Invoke-command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {netsh trace stop | Out-Null; $LastExitCode}
