Hello All, I am trying to run a powershell script on a remote computer, and the purpose of the script is to edit a txt file then open notepad and display the edited information on the remote computer. I have accomplished everything except opening notepad on the remote computer. I can start notepad as a process but not to physically see notepad open on the remote computer. Here is my code if anyone has any ideas that would be great. I tried .visable and .show like one would in VB but that didn't work.

$computer= "tester"
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName  $computer
Enter-PSSession -session $session

Invoke-Command -Session $session {
$saywhat = read-host "type what you want to say"
Add-Content c:\test.txt "'me'$saywhat"
Invoke-Item c:\test.txt
Start-Process notepad.exe
}
exit-pssession


Thanks again for any help.

Hi there.

I think you got the same problem as me. Well, your notepad is starting, just not in the profile you want.

That means you can press Ctrl + Shift + Esc and see the Processes running, and there will be a notepad.exe, but in another "User Name".

I wanna know how I start the process in another profile aswell without knowing the other users credentials, but do have administrator rights on the machine.

The only way I can think of is to generate a scheduled task to start it.

You can try with psexec though it doesn't work as expected against win7 , I didn't test against other OSs.

psexec \\pc1 -i -d notepad

That was a great advice - but when I use it it starts a notepad, but the notepad is black all the way.
You can't see the part where you write text but you can see it's a notepad.

Any idea ?

I remember it was working a long time ago, not sure why it doesn't work now.

Oh ok, maybe it is because the machine I'm testing on is a Windows 7 and there is some probplems as you mentioned.
