Good Afternoon,
We do not have Powershell remoting enabled for our enterprise and so I resorted to using psexec to install some software remotely.
If I run the following it works:
$Executable = IE.exe
$Arguments = /quiet
Start-Process -Wait -PSPath C:PsExec.exe -ArgumentList "\Test C:$Executable $Arguments"
However if I run it like this:
Start-Process -Wait -PSPath C:PsExec.exe -ArgumentList "\Test C:IE.exe /quiet"
It does not work, I believe this is because 'Start-Process' and 'PsExec.exe' interpret the argument list differently? Please could someone explain why putting the executable and arguments in a Powershell variable works but putting them as a literal string in the command does not?
