I'm getting error in switch statement inside scriptblock. Option 1 is executing but 2 and 3 doesn't work.



$server = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the server name:'
$cred = Get-Credential

$choice = {
Param([int]$opt)

switch ($opt) {
1 {
Set-ExecutionPolicy Remotesigned -Force
$EP = Get-ExecutionPolicy
echo "Executionpolicy:$EP"
}
2 {
Restart-Service WinRM
$RM = Get-Service WinRM | Select Status
$RM = $RM.Status
$RMT = Test-WSMan
echo "WinRM status: $RM"

$RMT
}
3 {
Set-ExecutionPolicy Remotesigned -Force
Restart-Service WinRM
$RM = Get-Service WinRM | Select Status
$RM = $RM.Status
$EP = Get-ExecutionPolicy
echo "WinRM status: $RM"
echo "Executionpolicy:$EP"
$RMT = Test-WSMan
echo "Testing WSMan......"
$RMT
}
}
Exit-PSSession
}

if (Test-Connection $server -Quiet) {

Exit-PSSession

$op = @"

3.Both

$op
$opt = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the option number for changes:'

Invoke-Command -Session $session -ArgumentList $opt -ScriptBlock $choice -

  • The error message already tells you what the problem is: you have a spurious trailing hyphen in the statement Invoke-Command ... -ScriptBlock $choice - <-- right there.
