General / Starting client from PowerShell

« on: July 07, 2017, 09:23:46 PM »

Hi everyone,
we have a small cluster consisting of 10 nodes. For the moment I start each client using the remote desktop which is very time-consuming. My idea was to have a PowerShell script who can do this task. I started playing around but it is still not working as I expected. Maybe it has to do with Start-Process option which behaves differently than starting the client using the cmd.
Here is my current script, would be great if someone has more experience and can help me:

#Start photoscan in server mode
########################################
Start-Process -FilePath "C:/Program Files/Agisoft/PhotoScan Pro/photoscan.exe" -ArgumentList "--server --control 192.168.0.1 --dispatch 192.168.0.1"

# List with all computernames
$computers = Get-Content -Path C:\...\computerliste.txt


#Run Photoscan on remote computers
########################################
$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName $computers -Credential Admin

Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {
Start-Process -FilePath "C:/Program Files/Agisoft/PhotoScan Pro/photoscan.exe" -ArgumentList "--node --dispatch 192.168.0.1 --root Z:/test"
}
