How can I run a PowerShell script via SMB remotely?
To run a PowerShell script remotely via SMB (Server Message Block), you can use the Invoke-Command
cmdlet in PowerShell. Here's an example of how you can do it:
Share the directory containing the PowerShell script: Ensure that the directory containing the script is shared on the remote server using SMB. Assign appropriate permissions to allow remote access to the shared directory.
Open PowerShell on your local machine: Open PowerShell on your local machine from which you want to execute the script remotely.
Connect to the remote server: Use the
New-PSSession
cmdlet to establish a remote PowerShell session with the target server. Provide the appropriate hostname or IP address of the remote server.powershell$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName RemoteServer
You may need to provide appropriate credentials if the remote server requires authentication.
Run the script remotely: Use the
Invoke-Command
cmdlet to execute the PowerShell script remotely. Specify the remote session ($session
) and the path to the script on the remote server.powershellInvoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\RemoteServer\SharedFolder\Script.ps1"
Replace
RemoteServer
with the hostname or IP address of the remote server, andSharedFolder
with the name of the shared folder that contains the script. Adjust the script name (Script.ps1
) and its path accordingly.Close the remote session: After executing the script, you can close the remote PowerShell session using the
Remove-PSSession
cmdlet.powershellRemove-PSSession $session
By following these steps, you can run a PowerShell script remotely via SMB using the Invoke-Command
cmdlet in PowerShell. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions and network access to the remote server and shared folder.
