Question

Post Body

I am attempting to use start-process on a virtual machine that is imported within the same script. However the process seems to not start until the virtual machine has been logged in at least once. If I manually login and try running the script remotely again the process will successfully execute.

I believe I ran into this a few years ago for a different project but don't remember if I ever found a fix for it. The command I am executing looks similar to the following -

Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {Start-Process "C:\Temp\myprocess.cmd"}

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this issue.
