winrm in powershell vs. in cmd.exe

05-08-2008

Hi,

I have a winrm command that works perfectly when I run it in cmd.exe,
but when I try to run the same command in Powershell (V2 CTP2) I get
the following error: Error: Invalid use of command line. Type "winrm
-?" for help.

It seems that whenever I try to use the @{key="value"} pairs as
parameters I get this error. Has anybody else seen this issue, and
possibly know a way around it?

Thanks,

Simon

Example of escaping characters to make something work:

PSH> winrm set winrm/config/client `@`{TrustedHosts=`"`*`"`}

Everything but the text and the equal sign in this case...
