How do I include a locally defined function when using PowerShell’s Invoke-Command for remoting?

by

You need to pass the function itself (not a call to the function in the ScriptBlock).

I had the same need just last week and found this SO discussion

So your code will become:

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock ${function:foo} -argumentlist "Bye!" -ComputerName someserver.example.com -Credential [email protected]

Note that by using this method, you can only pass parameters into your function positionally; you can’t make use of named parameters as you could when running the function locally.
