How can I get the result of invoke-command?

Question

hello,

I have somethings like this :

#Start the process on the remote machine
$Context.LogMessage("Get statistivcs on %cn%", "Information")
$Server = New-PSSession -ComputerName $computername -Credential $credential

Invoke-Command -Session $Server -ScriptBlock {$a = Get-RemoteAccessConnectionStatisticsSummary

}
$Context.LogMessage("$a", "Information")

remove-PSSession $Server

I need to pass the value of $a into the main script so I can see $a in $Context.LogMessage.

is that possible?

Thanks.

Hello,

To get output from the Invoke-Command cmdlet, you need to add the return statement to the block invoked on the remote machine:

# Start the process on the remote machine
$Context.LogMessage("Get statistics on %cn%", "Information")

$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $computername -Credential $credential

$summary = Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {$a = Get-RemoteAccessConnectionStatisticsSummary
return $a
}

$Context.LogMessage("$summary", "Information")

Remove-PSSession $session
