I'm needing the cmdlet New-Website on the remote computers for the script I'm sending them via Invoke-Command. The thing is, the WebAdministration module containing New-Website exists on all the remote machines I'm targeting, yet the script reports it does not recognize New-Website, I'm guessing because the remote machines need to first import the module.
I tried adding Import-Module WebAdministration at the beginning of my script block, and this seemed to work, but I got an error. What is the best way to get the remote computers to access their installed module packs when sending them commands via Invoke-Command?
Here is how I was trying to make a website on a remote computer:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName SERVER -command {Import-module webadministration; New-Website -Name "testing site" -Port 80 -HostHeader "testing site" -PhysicalPath c:\TS}
When I do this, it does create the website, but the website is not started, and it gives me the following error:
Invalid class string (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401F3 (CO_E_CLASSSTRING))
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-Website], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Provider.NewWebsite
Command
Thank you for your help!
