Linux to windows - Execute .exe remotely

We have requirement to execute .exe with parameters remotely from Linux machine to Windows 10. So we have installed PowerShell in CentOS. Following are the commands we used:

Invoke-Command -HostName abcdefg -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock { Start-Process -FilePath "C:\sip\GetProcessInstance.exe" -$args[0] } -ArgumentList "http://hostname:8080/jbpm-console/rest/task/[email protected]"

Invoke-Command -HostName abcdefg -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock { Start-Process -FilePath "C:\sip\GetProcessInstance.exe" -ArgumentList "http://hostname:8080/jbpm-console/rest/task/[email protected]" }

Invoke-Command -HostName abcdefg -Credential $creds -ScriptBlock { Get-ChildItem C:\ }

Getting following error

Invoke-Command : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters. One or more parameters issued cannot be used together or an insufficient number of parameters were provided.
At line:1 char:1

enter image description here

Same is working for Windows to Windows.

As stated in the error message, you are trying to use invalid parameter set. Once you open the documentation for Invoke-Command you can find sets you can use.

Take a look at the block at the beginning of document I linked. There are only two possible sets with -HostName parameter:

Invoke-Command
      -ScriptBlock <scriptblock>
      -HostName <string[]>
      [-Port <int>]
      [-AsJob][-HideComputerName]
      [-UserName <string>]
      [-KeyFilePath <string>]
      [-SSHTransport]
      [-RemoteDebug][-InputObject <psobject>]
      [-ArgumentList <Object[]>]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Invoke-Command
      -FilePath <string>
      -HostName <string[]>
      [-Port <int>]
      [-AsJob]
      [-HideComputerName][-UserName <string>]
      [-KeyFilePath <string>]
      [-SSHTransport]
      [-RemoteDebug]
      [-InputObject <psobject>][-ArgumentList <Object[]>]
      [<CommonParameters>]

As you can see, none of them has -Credential parameter available. Your options are:

  1. Use WinRM instead of SSH

In this case you'll have to use -ComputerName param instead of -HostName

  1. Use -SSHConnection

From the docs:

This parameter takes an array of hashtables where each hashtable contains one or more connection parameters needed to establish a Secure Shell (SSH) connection (HostName, Port, UserName, KeyFilePath).

  1. Use one of the sets I pasted above

 

As I don't have knowledge about your configuration I cannot tell you which one will suit you best so you have to choose yourself.
