Pass parameters from batch file to powershell script

Question

Hi,

I have a command shell script to invoke powershell script. I pass parameters to my command shell script which dont get passed to powershell script. I did add some echo in powershell script to check if the $variable get assigned with the command line paramaters been passed but with no luck.

For example:

from command prompt I execute

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command D:\SCOM_Admin_Scripts\SCOMSetMM.ps1 -computerPrincipalName:scoau182idv0003.globalinfdev.anz.com - numberOfHoursInMaintenanceMode:1 -comment:"Test something"

in my powershell script, I got

param($computerPrincipalName,$numberOfHoursInMaintenanceMode,$comment)

but the values are blank for $computerPrincipalName, $numberOfHoursInMaintenanceMode, $comment

Appreciate any help/support in advance.

Regards

Anil Khiani

powershell -command "&{D:\SCOM_Admin_Scripts\SCOMSetMM.ps1 -ComputerPrincipalName scoau182idv0003.globalinfdev.anz.com -numberOfHoursInMaintenanceMode 1 -comment "Testsomething"}"

or

powershell -file D:\SCOM_Admin_Scripts\SCOMSetMM.ps1 scoau182idv0003.globalinfdev.anz.com 1 "Test something"

thanks. I used args[0]... and assigned to

$principalcomputername = args[0]...

Also, your suggestion for invoking from command prompt helped.
