Enter-PSSession doesn't execute command on remote computer-CodePudding

I want execute some of powershell comand on remote computer. My ps1 file is contain below data:

$secure_password = 'password' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$credential_object = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList 'administrator', $secure_password 
$new_session = New-PSSession -Credential $credential_object -ComputerName  192.168.1.222
Enter-PSSession $new_session
{
  mkdir "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\new_folder"
}
Exit-PSSession  
Remove-PSSession $new_session

I want make a directory in my remote computer that ip is 192.168.1.222 but unfortunately doesn't make directory in remote computer. Why doesn't it work?

CodePudding user response：

You create PSSession when you want to execute multiple commands on a remote system. However, if you only need to run a single command/script, no need for a persistent PSSession.

You use Enter-PSSession for interactive work. However, when you using PSSession in a script/function, simply use Invoke-Command instead. It will be easier and faster.

Example

$secure_password = 'password' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList 'administrator', $secure_password 

Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.1.222 -Credential $cred -ScriptBlock { New-Item -Name "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\new_folder" -ItemType Directory }

Note: It is a bad idea to hardcode clear-text passwords into your scripts. Have a look at a native way to store credentials externally: SecretManagement
