Get-process -computerName

Returns this error:

Get-Process : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name
'computerName'.

Same thing when using the -ComputerName parameter with get-service. Is this
a known issue?

You have to use Invoke-Expression

Invoke-Expression -computername xxxxxx {Get-Process}

you need PowerShell V2 on both machines and win-rm installed and configured
on both

Like Richard says, and just to clarify that the above is an error in the
help file as the -computerName parameter is not valid.

You can also check: get-command get-process|format-list

Apologizes for that. On that one, the documentation reflects our desires
not our code. :-)
We have this working in the code now so the next release will have it.

Thanks for the update Jeffrey!

I'm really looking forward to this ability. Of course I won't get near as
much exercise and it's all your fault! haha

Regards...

It isn't supported in the current CTP, most of this can be retrieved via
other means.

One method is WMI. If RPC is an issue and that's why you don't
currently use WMI, you should be able to tunnel your WMI requests via
WinRM (so it uses HTTP or HTTPS).

I'm trying out another option also...

I'll provide examples maybe by tomorrow.

Marco

It's been a while since I was playing with V2 but isn't -computerName a
parameter for the invoke-expression cmdlet ?

So it would be something like invoke-expression -computername ServerA
"Get-Process"
