Summary<\/strong>: Use Windows PowerShell to debug a script on a remote computer. <\/p>\n

\"Hey, How can I use Windows PowerShell to debug a script on a remote computer?<\/p>\n

\"Hey, Use the debugging features in the Windows PowerShell 4.0 console:<\/p>\n

1. Use Enter-PSSession<\/strong> to start an interactive session on the remote computer:<\/p>\n

PS C: > Enter-PSSession -ComputerName Server01<\/p>\n

2. Debug as usual. For example, set a line breakpoint on script in the remote session:<\/p>\n

[Server01]: PS C:> Set-PSBreakpoint -Path C:DebugTest1.ps1 -Line 5<\/p>\n

3. Run the script; it stops at the breakpoint:<\/p>\n

[Server01]: PS C:> C:DebugTest1.ps1<\/p>\n

Entering debug mode. Use h or ? for help. <\/p>\n

Hit Line breakpoint on ‘C:DebugTest1.ps1:5’<\/p>\n

At C:DebugTest1.ps1:5 char:1<\/p>\n
