Have the below script which is to execute a .exe, but running into error ,
"Cannot Validate Argument On Parameter 'ComputerName' 
What am I missing here?
Start-Transcript -path C:\temp\Connect.txt -Append
$servernames = get-content C:\Temp\Servers.txt
foreach ($servername in $servernames)
{
$servername
$remotesession = New-PSSession -ComputerName $servername
Invoke-Command -Session $remotesession -ScriptBlock { Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise\Client\client.exe' }
Write-Host "client invoked"
}
Remove-PSSession -Session $remotesession
Stop-Transcript
Hi,
The script looks OK to me. Have you checked $servernames or the file C:\Temp\Servers.txt?
Best Regards,

Not sure what happened there, it didn't work in the server where I was testing , but works in other server without any error but the .exe does not opens up, just finishes successfully.
Invoke-Command -Session $remotesession -ScriptBlock { Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise\Client\client.exe' }
Write-Host "client invoked"
Does start-process works in multiple servers?
There should not be a problem with start-process as long as the .exe exists. Use Test-Path to verify that client.exe is on that particular server. Then check task manager to verify that the process is running. Or add a "get-process -name client" to the scriptblock.
Remember that Invoke-Command is in an unattended session on the remote computer, so if you were expecting to see a GUI window from the app on the desktop , that won't happen.
