powershell - Invoke-Command error "Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters"

Question

Hope you can help me with a problem trying to execute a script block with alternate credentials on a local computer. I've been thoroughly searching on forums and doing some googling and found two possible approach to solve my problem:

1. Use Invoke-Command
2. Use Start-Job

Using approach #1 I had this code:

$res = Invoke-Command -Credential $migratorCreds -ScriptBlock {param($one, $two) Get-LocalUsers -parentNodeXML $one -migratorUser $two } -ArgumentList $xmlPRE,$migratorCreds

where Get-LocalUsers is a custom function stored in a custom module (*.psm1).

My problem is that every time I run this code I get following error:

Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters

So it's obvious that I must be missing something, could you help me on this topic?

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

The error you have is because -credential without -computername can't exist.

You can try this way:

Invoke-Command -Credential $migratorCreds  -ScriptBlock ${function:Get-LocalUsers} -ArgumentList $xmlPRE,$migratorCreds -computername YOURCOMPUTERNAME
