cmd script from powershell

Question

At the end of a powershell script, i wanted to starta cmd script. In order to proceed, i added this : Invoke-Command cmd /c $destinationn\02_creation_de_repertoire.cmd

Result :

Invoke-Command : Impossible de trouver un paramètre positionnel acceptant l'argument «
C:\Users\moamg\Desktop\SPO\02_creation_de_repertoire.cmd».
Au caractère C:\Users\moamg\Desktop\scripts_global\01_install_spo1.ps1:32 : 1
+ Invoke-Command cmd /c $destinationn\02_creation_de_repertoire.cmd
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument : (:) [Invoke-Command], ParameterBindingExcept
   ion
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Invo
   keCommandCommand

Any clue ? I started ./FILE.cmd, or FILE.cmd from powershell, and it work. But in the script, it don't.

The version of Invoke-Command with the -FilePath takes its arguments as an array. So `Invoke-Command -filepath Path-To-Cmd 'arg1','arg2'. — Richard

You could try a plain cmd.exe /c $destinationn\02_creation_de_repertoire.cmd without the initial Invoke-Command — Razorfen

The cmdlet excepts a script block:

Invoke-Command { cmd /c $destinationn\02_creation_de_repertoire.cmd }

Or explicitly:

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { cmd /c $destinationn\02_creation_de_repertoire.cmd }

As an addition: the script must be enclosed in something, otherwise parameters for the script could be confused with parameters of Invoke-Command by the parser.

Maybe you can use Start-Process -FilePath $destinationn\02_creation_de_repertoire.cmd instead. Try help Start-Process from your command prompt for full syntax.
