Hi

Thanks for the great article!  I'd like to run the Invoke-Command non-interactively for a script, but how can I provide the password non-interactively?

I've tried this, but the command structure doesn't seem to support it:

1. set the password:

$pw = convertto-securestring -AsPlainText -Force -String <somepassword>

2. set the credential pair

$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist "Administrator",$pw

3. Get a session

```

PS windows-dns/scripts> $session = New-PSSession -HostName windns -Credential $cred

New-PSSession : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters. One or more parameters issued cannot be used together or an insufficient number of parameters were provided.

```

Is there a way to obtain SSHTransport session without interactively providing the password?

Hi,

Windows 2k3 R2 is too old for newer PoSH versions. As far as, I know the last version for this OS was 3.0. and OS version couldn't have the needed/updated PoSH modules,WMI and .Net version (4.5.2.) required for the job, so maybe you should have to upgrade OS,... if that is possible.

Hi All,

Thanks for the script,

"Installed and No status computers  details are not exporting, Could you tell us where can we made  the change in the script.

Thank You

Has anyone found a good (in depth) article on debugging PowerShell in VSCode?  I find myself constantly writing in VSCode, and debugging in ISE w/ISESteroids.. (hopefully this isn't hijacking this article/thread 🙂

Hi John. It's important to remember that VSCode tries hard not to be a GUI tool. Thus, you may want to get familiar with PowerShell commands like:

Get-Command -Module <module-name>

Get-Command -Verb Get -Noun AzureRMCompute*

That said, check the VSCode extension gallery to see if someone else developed a tool to address your use case. Thanks for reading! -Tim

Thank you for doing an article like this.

However, it does not address the primary reason why I have not switched from ISE to VS Code: the ISE Command add-on (View | Show Commands Add-on).

I rely heavily on the ISE Command Add-on to help me search and filter commands from modules (either searching all modules or selecting individual modules from the dropdown, then searching).

Are you aware of any efforts to get this functionality similar to ISE's Command Add-on into VS Code?

Thanks for the article. I have been looking for something like it.

Great article, thank you. Looks like I may be switching as well.

I had to click on RAW in Keith Hill's GitHub repository or it wouldn't copy properly.

Hi Wolfgang,

Nice and simple but very helpful post, Thanks.

Now I have a question or two:

We are using DDBoost to backup and restore SQL Server databases.

Now we want to create a script or a job, so developers can kick off the script or the job to refresh their dev databases without asking a DBA.

I know in SQL Server Management Studio we can't take input in Job so I want to create a script with T-SQL or CLI or Powershell to take inputs like SourceDB, TargetDB and then refresh a dev database using with the parameters.

Now I know how to take input in PowerShell so if you can tell me it would be great:

- How to use powershell to restore from DDBoost?
- How to pass the values from PowerShell to T-SQL or CLI?
- Or any other option in SQL Server management Studio.

Please help me setting it up.

Thanks and regards in advance.
