I'm having an issue with the Print Spooler getting hung up on a Hyper-V server that im running and tickets get hung up...Im just trying to streamline this by figuring out how i can just run a powershell script without having to enter any credentials manually. I can get a powershell script to accomplish this but the only one that i have found implements the Get-Credentials and prompts to enter credentials then i get put into a remote Powershell session on the server where i can restart the service from there.

Is there an easier way to accomplish what i am trying to do?

  • Will you be running this script using an account that's local admin on the target Hyper-V server? Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 17:23
  • Yes I will. i actually am just using the Administrator account to try and accomplish this. Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 17:28
  • If you launch PowerShell with a domain account that has local admin on the remote box, then you don't need to provide credentials again. Simply do Restart-Service -Name spooler -ComputerName hyperv-server.domain.fqdn or Invoke-Command {Restart-Service -Name spooler} -ComputerName hyperv-server.domain.fqdn, PowerShell will simply default to the callers network identity when no explicit credentials are passed Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 17:34
  • Using Invoke-Command {Restart-Service -Name spooler} -ComputerName hyperv-server.domain.fqdn I get Access Denied. Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 19:01

    Please update your post, comments aren't well fit for code :) FWIW, you just need to remove -credential (get-credential) do avoid the prompt, but if you're getting access denied, then there's something else wrong. Are both servers joined to the same domain/forest? Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 19:12
