I'm using Win 7 64 bits, Windows PowerShell 2.0, and VS 2010 , .NET 4.0 and Unit Test project. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe (32 bits) I use PS Console like this: PS C:\Users\user1> (gwmi win32_process | ? { $_.processname
-eq "powershell.exe" }) | select commandline commandline ----------- "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" Now, I connect to remote machine, Win2008 R2 64 bits: PS C:\Users\user1> Enter-PSSession 'descasiisw01' -Credential:'desiisw01\instalador'
[descasiisw01]: PS C:\Users\instalador\Documents> import-module WebAdministration [descasiisw01]: PS C:\Users\instalador\Documents> Get-WebSite Name ID State Physical Path Bindings ---- -- ----- ------------- -------- Default Web Site 1 Started C:\inetpub\wwwroot
http *:80: net.tcp 808:* net.pipe * net.msmq localhost msmq.formatname localhost http *:80:descasiis --- OMITED --- I test using too PowerShell ISE and works fine. Now, I using C# to call PowerShell scripts: var cmdPS = string.Format("-File \"{0}\" {1} {2}
{3} {4} {5} ", PSTestRemoteDeploy, DeployEnvironment, server, group, firstServer, lastServer); //cmdPowerShell = Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir"), @"Syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\V1.0\powershell.exe"); cmdPowerShell = Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir"),
@"system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"); var argumentsPS = "-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted "; argumentsPS += "-WindowStyle Hidden -NonInteractive -NoLogo "; var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(); startInfo.FileName = cmdPowerShell; startInfo.Arguments
= argumentsPS + cmdPS; startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; startInfo.UseShellExecute = false; startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; using (var process = new Process()) { process.StartInfo = startInfo; process.Start();
output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); errors = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd(); } I have those ps1 files: === testRemote1.ps1 === $serverName = "desiisw01" $username = "desiisw01\installer" $password = "xxx" $adjPwd = $password | ConvertTo-SecureString
