Custom Commands with User Provided Parameters

Question

We have a number of PowerShell scripts I'd love to expose to normal users simply by adding them as Custom Commands, my problem is they require additional user provided parameters at runtime. It would be very helpful if we were able to create custom forms for Custom Commands to allow users to provide these parameters to the PowerShell script the command is executing.

This functionality would allow us to expose complex PowerShell scripts used for automating many various management workflows for various AD objects without complex PowerShell remoting setups and user training because it would be within the Adaxes software interface with the intuitive GUI and utilise existing Adaxes features regarding PowerShell and Custom Commands.

Hello,

We have the feature in our Product Backlog. It will be implemented in one of the future releases.

Currently, you can use the workaround described in the following post: Custom Command That Does Not Execute on Object.

That post seems to talk about executing a PowerShell script on the current logged in user, I'm talking about providing additional parameters via a form after utilising PowerShell Custom Commands as normal (against selected objects). That post was also from 2012, it was also stated that interactive PowerShells would most likely be a feature in 2013.2, how high of a priority is this feature exactly?

You can give a possibility to select any user, not necessarily the currently logged on one.

We have this feature in our Product Backlog. For now you can use the workaround we provided in the previous post.

The feature is at high priority. However, there is no ETA on when it will be available.
