How to run scriptblock on Windows PowerShell on 64-bit machine
To run a ScriptBlock
in Windows PowerShell on a 64-bit machine, you can use the Invoke-Command
cmdlet. This allows you to execute a script or ScriptBlock
on a remote computer, which is particularly useful for running 64-bit PowerShell scripts on 64-bit systems.
Here's how you can run a ScriptBlock
on a 64-bit machine:
powershell# Define your ScriptBlock
$scriptBlock = {
# Your PowerShell script or commands go here
Get-Process
Get-Service
# Add more commands as needed
}
# Use Invoke-Command to run the ScriptBlock
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $scriptBlock
By default, Invoke-Command
runs the ScriptBlock
on the local machine. If you want to run the ScriptBlock
on a remote machine (which may be a 64-bit machine), you can specify the remote machine's name with the -ComputerName
parameter:
powershell$remoteComputerName = "REMOTE_COMPUTER_NAME"
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $scriptBlock -ComputerName $remoteComputerName
Replace "REMOTE_COMPUTER_NAME"
with the actual name of the remote computer where you want to run the ScriptBlock
.
Keep in mind that if you are running a 64-bit PowerShell script on a 64-bit machine, it will automatically use the 64-bit version of PowerShell by default. However, if you need to explicitly run a 32-bit version of PowerShell on a 64-bit machine, you can use the SysNative
alias for the System32
directory:
powershell# Run a 32-bit version of PowerShell on a 64-bit machine
$sysNativePath = "${env:windir}\SysNative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
Start-Process -FilePath $sysNativePath -ArgumentList "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File 'C:\Path\To\YourScript.ps1'"
Replace "C:\Path\To\YourScript.ps1"
with the actual path to your 32-bit PowerShell script.
Using these methods, you can run ScriptBlocks
and scripts on both local and remote 64-bit machines effectively.
