Hi Thogether

I try to create a task, that starts a powershellscript, which is located on a central scriptserver. The task is for the Objects Windows Server. I wanna start the powershellscript with the DNSName of the target-server as parameter.

So I created a task with the following settings:
Application: powershell.exe
Parameters: -file "\server\f$\test\pscript.ps1" $Target/Property[Type="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/DNSName$

But now the script works with the parameter "$Target/Property[Type="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/DNSName$" instead of the DNSName.

I also tried to set the working directory to my local client and start the script on the server, but had the same issue.

It works, when I copy the Script to my local client, and use the following settings:
Application: powershell.exe
Parameters: -file "C:\test\pscript.ps1" $Target/Property[Type="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/DNSName$

Anybody know how I can start the script on the Server, with the DNSName as parameter?

    Could you show us the exact xml code for your task?

    Also there is a more efficient way of running powershell tasks on an agent, have a look at Task.Agent.PowerShell.WithParams.mpx fragment in KEvin Holman's fragment library.
