Using the 2.0 CTP

Command:

Invoke-Expression -ComputerName MyMachine -Command Get-Service

Returns:

Invoke-Expression : Fragment blob length is out of range: 1814058546

At line:1 Char:10

+ Invoke-Expression <<<< -ComputerName MyMachine -Command Get-Service

 

I have tried this with a remote machine name and also the local machine name.

I have also tried with various commands.

All with the same result.

 

If I omit the -ComputerName then it returns correctly. 

What have I missed?

What OS? Using invoke-expression, especially on a a remote machine will try to open a temporary runspace on the remote machine. There's some kind of problem though.

The PSH v2 install should have required winrm 1.1, so you should be good there, but I'd want to verify the winrm and winrs commands are running. From PSH or DOS: winrm -? or winrs -?.

Try a few remote commands to make sure the remoting layer is working OK.

Sorry in the delay getting back to this.

 

OS's are XPSP2, 2k3.  winrm appears to be running, but regardless no joy.

 

There were some DCOM errors being generated.  Apparently due to permissions.  However if it is using DCOM I am not interested (once bitten...)

I will put this on hold until the full release.

invoke-expression (**even locally**) depends on the remoting layer, so winrm must be working properly. The winrm client is written in VBScript and uses COM to interface with winHTTP.dll.
