But that notepad process is incomplete - eg it lacks a value for properties like MainModule.
Running notepad makes the notepad.exe process visible if you look at it via Get-Process. You can launch notepad if you run it from within a remote PS Session (Enter-PSSESSION). The local console can only display data that is sent (via SOAP) tohe client. When you run a GUI program, like Notepad, there is, in effect, nowhere for the GUI to be displayed. Effectively, this is a copy of PowerShell running on that system. When you use Invoke-command, the commands you enter (either in the script block or script you send) are sent to the WSgps MPROVHOST process on the remote machine. If those two fail and you can do it with PSTools - then do it and move on. The only thing that you need to remember is the name of the tool: Notepad.In Windows 10, click or tap the search field on your taskbar, type 'notepad' in it, and click or tap the result with the same name.
Can you add an item to the POS terminal's menu or home page? Can you pin notepad there and enable them to just click it to run it? Open Notepad by using search (all Windows versions) The search in Windows is fast and easy. Does the POS vendor have any diagnostic features that can be added into the terminal? If so, then add any vendor reader testing software and go from there.Ģ.
