Hi,

Can anyone help on this please?

Why is nothing being returned??? i have tried ‘china’ and china with no quotes and no session gets returned even though those sessions are clearly active in get-pssession

Try …

Get-PSSession | Where-Object {$_.ComputerName -eq ‘china’}

[quote quote=170863]Try …

<textarea class="ace_text-input" style="opacity: 0; height: 18px; width: 6.59781px; left: 44px; top: 0px;" spellcheck="false" wrap="off"></textarea>

[/quote] Thanks that works , but i am really confused as this seems a long way of doing it? should -computername not work?

The parameter -ComputerName is not a filter - it’s a request for the cmdlet to run on the remote computer you specified.
