How to start remotely process in PowerShell

Question

I have a problem, I have a script which:

• Connect with PSSession (I use PSSession with admin account)
• Stop 2 process
• Do change on them files
• Start the 2 process (Problem here)

I want to start process on server, so i'm connect with PSSession (No problem)

I do Invoke-Command :

# $pathProg path to my program
Invoke-Command -session $mySession -command {Start-Process $($args[0])} -ArgumentList $pathProg

But it does nothing (I verify with VNC)

I do Invoke-Command too :

# $pathProg path to my program
Invoke-Command -session $mySession -command {&$($args[0])} -ArgumentList $pathProg

It lauch the program (Good) but my script wait the end program (Not good)

Anyone have an idea ?

Thanks

Solution

You can try using WMI:

$command = "notepad.exe"
$process = [WMICLASS]"\\$CompName\ROOT\CIMV2:win32_process"
$result = $process.Create($command) 

If you need passing credentials:

$cred = get-credential
$process = get-wmiobject -query "SELECT * FROM Meta_Class WHERE __Class = 'Win32_Process'" -namespace "root\cimv2" -computername $CompName -credential $cred
$results = $process.Create( "notepad.exe" )
