please can you help me. I'm missing some information.

Why when I execute the code:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName domainpc -ScriptBlock {Get-ChildItem -path C:\Users -Filter "username1"} 

the result is: username1

And when I execute this script:

    $user = Read-Host "Please enter username"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName domainpc -ScriptBlock {Get-ChildItem -path C:\Users -Filter "$user"} 

the result is a list of folder contained in C:\Users

I don't understand why executing script get different results than execute code without variable. Seems that the problem is the variable. Please can you explain this?

Thanks.

CodePudding user response：

You are hitting scope "problems".
The variable $user inside your script block -ScriptBlock is not known.
Take a look here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_remote_variables?view=powershell-7.1#using-local-variables

Use $Using:user to get around.
