O365 Mobile Device Export - powershell

The following code works on our internal exchange server minus the connection bits as thats not needed on-prem. I have added connection code to 365, which works fine. When I run this, I get the following error and it forces me to login a second time and exports only a fraction of the results:
Starting a command on the remote server failed with the following error message : The I/O operation has been aborted
because of either a thread exit or an application request. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting

Below is the code I am attempting to use. Do I have it formatted wrong?

You cannot be logged in to Exchange on-prem and Exchange online at the same time. They use the same cmdlet and on-prem will take precedence.
If you are using PSRemoting, you must use two different sessions, and it's best to prefix those, so they are unique.
Or, be on the Exchange server directly and do your thing there, and open a new PSRemoting session to O365, prefixed so that the proxied commands have the prefix name.
Then make your O365 calls with the proxied cmdlets, not the on-prem ones.
Example Session setup:
# Exchange PowerShell Remote Management
#
$creds = Import-Clixml -Path $CredPath
$ExchangeSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName 'Microsoft.Exchange' `
-ConnectionUri ('http://' + $ExchangeServerFQDN + '/PowerShell') `
-Authentication Kerberos -Credential $Creds.ExpAdmin
Import-PSSession $ExchangeSession -Prefix 'EXP'
$creds = Import-Clixml -Path $CredPath
$ExchangeOnlineSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName 'Microsoft.Exchange' `
-ConnectionUri 'https://outlook.office365.com/PowerShell-liveid/' `
-Authentication Basic -Credential $Creds.ExoAdmin -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $ExchangeOnlineSession -Prefix 'EXO'
Get-PSSession
Each of the command will have EXP or EXO as part of the name of the proxied cmdlets.
Again, if you are doing this directly on Exchange, you only need the EXO session, and use the on-prem Exchange cmdlets normally.

Configuring Remote Desktop Services remotely via powershell

Trying to manage our Remote Desktop Services installation using PowerShell and we're running into an issue where the commands in the RemoteDeskop module and the RemoteDesktopServices module do not appear to work when being run via Invoke-Command. Basically it appears that these functions do not work when run in a remote session.
The script below gets the following error:
The RD Connection Broker server is not available. Verify that you can
connect to the RD Connection Broker server.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException

$sb =

"ReadKey" Error - suddenly appears working on powershell script

I have the following script which until now worked just fine.
# Mailbox Migration Script
$ErrorActionPreference = "stop"
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010;
#$UserCredential = Get-Credential -Message "`n Please supply your O365 credentials using (Example: user#corp.mycorp.com): `n "
#$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
#Import-PSSession $Session
#Choose, USERNAME related to mailbox:
Write-Host "`n ATTENTION : THIS SCRIPT WILL SHUT DOWN IF YOU ENTER WRONG MAILBOX INFO `n OR THE MAILBOX HAS ALREADY BEEN MIGRATED." -for Red;
$username = Read-Host -Prompt "`n Please provide AD-USERNAME to Migrate";
Write-Host "`n The chosen user is:";
Write-Host "`n " $username -for Yellow;
Write-Host "`n Press ENTER key to confirm and continue. `n Press CTRL+C to cancel";
$null = $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey('NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown');
Now after running this, i get an error which crashes the script.
Exception calling "ReadKey" with "1" argument(s): "The method or operation is not
implemented."
At C:\Users\username\Desktop\PowerShell\Migration-prompt.ps1:19 char:1

I imagine the issue should be somewhere on this line:
$null = $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey('NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown');
Your help would be mostly appreciated on fixing this.
Thank you very much !
Replace the troubled line with this one.
$null = Read-Host
If you want to troubleshoot the issue instead, start with the error. The method is not implemented. The PowerShell host has changed in some fashion. What is the output for $host?

How to replace a string in file on remote computer in Powershell?

I have a VM running Windows Server 2012.And some intended services on it. I want to change a configuration file on this VM machine remotely from my desktop pc.
Currently I change this configuration file by mapping the C: drive of the remote server and then changing the file. Now this blocks me from changing multiple servers as I can't map multiple server c: simultaneously to same drive. Also, mapping hundreds of drives wouldn't be ideal.
The way I am changing the file by mapping drive is:
$password = <password text> | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$username = "admin"
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
net use Z: \\$ipAddress\C$ <password> /user:admin type 'z:\Program Files\lalaland\Data\Settings.xml'
(Get-Content 'z:\Program Files\lalaland\Data\Settings.xml') | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace $oldString, $newString } | Set-Content 'z:\Program Files\lalaland\Data\Settings.xml'
type 'z:\Program Files\lalaland\Data\Settings.xml'
net use z: /delete
Therefore I searched for a better option and found this script at https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShell-Replace-String-58fbfa85 but it doesn't work for me.
I am using this script as :
.\Replace-StringInFile.ps1 -ComputerName <RemoteComputerHostName> -TargetPath 'C:\Program Files\lalaland\Data' -Fil
eName Settings.xml -Replace $oldString -ReplaceWith $newString -Credential (Get-Credential)
when I run the command credential window pops up asking for username and password. I enter the username and password that I used for mapping the drive, but it throws the following error:
New-PSSession : [<RemoteHostName>] Connecting to remote server <RemoteHostName> failed with the following error message : The user name or password is incorrect. For more information, see the
about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
At D:\workspace\Replace-StringInFile.ps1:84 char:14
+ ... $Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $Computer -Credential $Creden ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : LogonFailure,PSSessionOpenFailed
what I don't understand is when I map the drive with the same credentials it works fine but using the other script, which internally uses New-PSSession doesn't work.
Any idea ?
I was able to do this using the following cmdlet:
function Edit-RemoteFileStringReplace
{
[cmdletbinding()]
param([Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateScript({$_ -match [IPAddress]$_ })][string]$Address,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$FilePath,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$Replace,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$ReplaceWith,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]$Credential
)
$DriveLetter=""
$FilePathWithoutDriveLetter=""
$DriveName = $Address.replace('.','x')
$DriveName = "PSDrive_$DriveName"
$DriveLetter = (Get-DriveLetterFromPath -Path $FilePath).Substring(0,1)
$FilePathWithoutDriveLetter = Remove-DriveLetterFromPath -Path $FilePath
$MappedFilePath="$DriveName" + ":$FilePathWithoutDriveLetter"
New-PSDrive -Name $DriveName -PSProvider FileSystem -Root \\$Address\$DriveLetter$ -Credential $Credential -ErrorAction Stop
(Get-Content $MappedFilePath) | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace $Replace, $ReplaceWith } | Set-Content $MappedFilePath
Remove-PSDrive -Name $DriveName
}

I have a Power Shell script that sits on a VM and creates a PSSession to a physical machine and runs a batch file. Running the batch file directly in the physical machine works as expected, however when I try running it remotely from the VM is it throwing up error.

Ready API and soapUI use some environment variables in testrunner.bat to set up dependencies and the like. So, whenever I've executed testrunner.bat with a script from outside of the application, I've always CD'ed to the bin directory first:
cd <Ready API installation directory>\bin

New-PSsession not working in Script

I have a strange problem with one of my servers :
I am trying to open a PSsession with it.
If I copy my script directly in powershell everything works fine, but if i run it via a .ps1 file I get a access denied error.
The same sript works on multiple machines except this one.
Additonal information:

UPDATE :
it seems to be something within the Char encoding.
the password in the ps1 file produces a difrent output for the € in it :
in the ps1. ¬
in the ps window : ?
if i pass the Password as a Paramter it also works.
$password.gethash() also prouces difrent outputs. codepage is the same though (chcp)
the script was created in notepad++
Changing / Converting to ansi from UTC without BOM fixed the issue.. jesus crist who thinks about stuff like that / why the hell was it set to this value..
