Invoke-Command Get-Credential UserID/Password Prompt

Question

_{Wednesday, October 26, 2016 2:19 AM}

Hello Experts,

I need help with powershell Invoke command with get credential. I am writing a script to open application on remote computer using invoke-command. I have installed WinRM on remote server and it's using listening port as 5985.

The script is running fine but the userid/password prompt keep popping up even after giving the credentials in the script too and I want to disable that. I have read a lot of forums but none of them worked for me. Below is some of my code.

$Username = 'labuser'
$Password = 'labuser'
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $Password -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $Username,$pass
Invoke-command -ScriptBlock {"D:\abc\C123.exe.exe"} -Credential (get-credential) $credential -Verbose -ComputerName abc.com

Any help will be apprecieted.

Thanks

Manish

Hi Manish,

as jrv said, you need to actually use the variable you store the credential in:

# Old line
Invoke-command -ScriptBlock {"D:\abc\C123.exe.exe"} -Credential (get-credential) $credential -Verbose -ComputerName abc.com

# New line
Invoke-command -ScriptBlock {"D:\abc\C123.exe.exe"} -Credential $cred -Verbose -ComputerName abc.com

Cheers,
Fred

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

You create "$cred" but you never use it.
