WinRM & MainWindowTitle

[peterlyttle]

Hello,

Im currently trying to execute this command on a remote server -

Get-Process | Select-Object MainWindowTitle

Locally it runs fine and gives me the Window Titles, on investigation it doesnt work remotely so I looked at using WinRM to execute the command on the server. This doesnt work either.

Get-PSSession server.domain
[server.domain]Get-Process | Select-Object MainWindowTitle

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Peter

On both sides, have you run:

Enable-PSRemoting

You must run that from an elevated PS session.

You then need to set the allowed hosts:

cd wsman:
set-Item TrustedHosts *
restart-Service winrm

From there you should be able to execute your above commands.

I hope that helps.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I've already done that but it just returns blank values for the MainWindowTitle field.

Cheers,

I was having a think about this some more and I can see why it wouldnt work.

When the remote session is executed whos to say that its executed in the same user session that logged in an executing XY&Z application.

I think however if I can query the Enviromental Variables associated with a specific process this would work... the only trouble is that I've only seen this done in ProcessXP
