Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • ScriptCommand

Notes

  • Requires a VMHost object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCVMHost cmdlet.

Examples

1. Run a script command.

The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.

The second command runs the executable program named cmd.exe with the specified parameters on the host stored in $VMHost. In this case, Invoke-SCScriptCommand removes the test directory from the c: drive on VMHost01.

PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01"
PS C:\> Invoke-SCScriptCommand -VMHost $VMHost -Executable "cmd.exe" -CommandParameters "/C rd C:\test" -TimeoutSeconds 60
