windows - How to run PowerShell in CMD

Question

I'm trying to run a PowerShell script inside cmd command line. Someone gave me an example and it worked:

powershell.exe -noexit "& 'c:DataScheduledScriptsShutdownVM.ps1'"

But the problem is my PowerShell script has input parameters, so I tried, but it doesn't work:

powershell.exe -noexit "& 'D:WorkSQLExecutor.ps1 -gettedServerName "MY-PC" ' "

The error is:

The term 'D:WorkSQLExecutor.ps1 -gettedServerName "MY-PC" ' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,

How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

You need to separate the arguments from the file path:

powershell.exe -noexit "& 'D:WorkSQLExecutor.ps1 ' -gettedServerName 'MY-PC'"

Another option that may ease the syntax using the File parameter and positional parameters:

powershell.exe -noexit -file "D:WorkSQLExecutor.ps1" "MY-PC"
