Vista - Powershell Execute process

I want to execute a command at remote DMZ server with below line. But
it is not authenticating the password and giving access denied error
even though password is correct & able to access remote share with
same password.

$ProcessClass = get-wmiobject -query "SELECT * FROM Meta_Class WHERE
__Class = 'Win32_Process'" -namespace "root\cimv2" -credential $(Get-
Credential) -computername $computer
$results = $ProcessClass.Create( $commandline )

::::::::::Error :::::::::
Exception retrieving member "Create": "Access is denied. (Exception
from HRESUL
T: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"
At C:\ExeCmd.ps1:72 char:11
+ $results = <<<< $ProcessClass.Create($commandline)

Any idea how to pass the credential safely?

This has come up before if I remember correctly. You need to do the
get-credential as a seperate prior step

$cred = get-credential
get-wmiobject ........... -credentials $cred ..........

I tried that and checked again but same error.

It takes credential correctly when we give below
$ProcessClass = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Process" -namespace "root
\cimv2" -credential $(Get-Credential) -computername $computer

But this code doesn't allow to run create( ) method to execute command
at remote machine like below.
$results = $ProcessClass.Create( $commandline )

I tried other two methods also and let me explain in detail.

I want to execute a process on a server which is in DMZ & workgroup
from my domain.

It works if,
- If I keep the same password of my domain ID and user ID of that
server then it works.
- I can access the \\ServerName\C$ with my user ID of DMZ server from
domain.
- If I run these scripts against a server which is in same domain then
it works.

It doesn't work
- If passwords are different for my domain ID and user ID of remote
DMZ server and if I pass the password through PowerShell.

## 1 ##
$co = new-object management.connectionoptions
$co.Username = "ServerName\UserID"
$co.SecurePassword = (read-host -assecurestring)
$scope = new-object management.managementscope "\\ServerName\root
\cimv2",$co
$scope.Connect()
$mp = new-object management.managementpath "win32_process"
$ogo = new-object management.objectgetoptions
$proc = new-object management.managementclass $scope,$mp,$ogo
$proc.Create("notepad.exe")

## 2 ##
$comp = "ServerName"
$cre = get-credential ServerName\UserID
$win32ProcessClass = Get-WmiObject -List -Namespace 'root\cimv2' -
credential $cre -computername $comp | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq
'Win32_Process' }
$win32ProcessClass.Create("notepad.exe")

Any help is really appreciated.

I'm sorry, what are you identifying here:
Neither works in your last scenario?

I understand there are some small cross-domain authentation issues with
get-wmiobject in v1.

Thanks for the information Macro.

Is it corrected in v2? if you come across. Or any alternate way to
execute process.

You can also use winrm to execute remote commands.

I'm not sure how far you are willing to go to try to make this work.

I think winrm configuration is not advisable for Edge server because
it directly contact to internet. Am I right ?

Furthermore, you can use the Windows Firewall client in certain conditions.
