remote access question

Question

I'm trying to run ps1 file on remote server without logging on server.
example. local userinput.ps1 to run remote script.ps1 -userinput1 -userinput2 -userinput3 etc.

if i use:
$Credential = $host.ui.PromptForCredential("","","server")

would i still need this in my script?
New-PSSession -Session $s -Credential Domain01\User01

Once i have all the user inputs(GUI)
i want to have the OK button to execute remote script.ps1 -userinput1 -userinput2 -userinput3 etc.

Answer 1

The first option takes FOUR parameters, not three! system.management.automation.host.pshostuserinterface.promptforcredential

For your intended purpose they both produce a usable result. Using the Get-Credential cmdlet offers less opportunity to make errors.

Answer 2

So your answer is YES, i need NEW-PSSession with $credential varible.
So you recommend Get-credential cmdlet? is it GUI base? I will look into that.
Man, there's so many way of doing things.

Answer 3

or maybe i should ask what's the difference between these 2?

$Credential = $host.ui.PromptForCredential("","","server")

New-PSSession -Session $s -Credential

Answer 4

I already have the message box input generated, collect them all already.

My question is before I run the script from local or remote,
i'm using this for credential:

$Credential = $host.ui.PromptForCredential("","","server")

am i required to use this?
New-PSSession -Session $s -Credential

or they are just the same?

hope that make sense.

Answer 5

1. Your 1st example has too few parameters. You need four, not three, in the PromptForCredential argument list.
2. Your New-Session would replace the "Domain01/User01" with the $Credential variable.

Assuming you mean a MessageBox, something like this would probably work:

Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationCore, PresentationFramework
    $msgBoxInput = [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('Run scripts?', 'Your input', 'YesNoCancel', 'Error')
    Switch ($msgBoxInput) {
        'Yes' {
            ## run scripts
        }
        'No' {
            Return
        }
        'Cancel' {
            Exit
        }
    }
