Hello to all,

I am trying to execute this command remotely as a Admin01 user account:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName PC01 -ScriptBlock {
$UI = New-Object -ComObject "UIResource.UIResourceMgr"
$ProgramID = "*"
$PackageID = "PKG001"
$UI.ExecuteProgram($ProgramID, $PackageID, $true)
}

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

  • CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [], COMException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
  • PSComputerName : PC01

It works fine if the user Admin01 is logged in on that PC01. Can someone help to figured out this? The aim is to execute Task Sequence on multiple computers via Powershell script.

Thanks.

M.

    Did RichMatheisen-8856's solution work for you?

    I'm facing the same issue.

    Thanks for the help.
