Get local Admins on Remote Server, running as Job
0
I have a working script that gets local Admins on remote servers, but sometimes there's an issue with one of the servers in the list (even though Test-Connection succeeds) that will hang and stops the script from continuing. So I've been looking into using jobs as a means of having a timeout feature if a server takes too long to respond.
In my test script, I'm getting a list of System.__ComObject objects back, which seems promising, but I can't parse them like usual and get error:
Exception calling "InvokeMember" with "5" argument(s): "Method
'System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject.ADSPath' not found."
At c:timeout.ps1:48 char:3
+ $member.GetType().Invokemember("ADSPath","GetProperty",$null, ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) , MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingMethodException
NOTE: For above error, it's repeated for Name, Class and ADSPath (bascially all the invokes I tried.
Here is the script code:
# Test Timeout functionality
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$Computer
)
$timeout = 90 ## seconds
$retryInterval = 5 ## seconds
$LocalGroupName = "Administrators"
$group = $null
$members = $null
Write-Host "Working on $($computer)..."
Write-Verbose "Start Job..."
$job1 = {
Param($computer,$localgroupname)
$group =[ADSI]"WinNT://$computer/$LocalGroupName"
@($group.psbase.Invoke("Members"))
}
Start-Job -Name "Members" $job1 -ArgumentList $computer,$localgroupname
$Check_Job = Get-Job -Name "Members"
$timer = [Diagnostics.Stopwatch]::StartNew()
while ($timer.Elapsed.TotalSeconds -lt $Timeout) {
if ($Check_Job.State -eq 'Completed') {
$members = Receive-Job -Name "Members"
break
}
Start-Sleep -Seconds $RetryInterval
Write-Verbose -Message "Waiting [$totalSecs]sec until retry..."
}
$timer.Stop()
if (!$members) {
Write-Host "No members found in the group"
} else {
foreach($member in $members) {
Write-Host "-------------------------------------"
$member.GetType().InvokeMember("Name","GetProperty",$null,$member,$null)
$member.GetType().InvokeMember("Class","GetProperty",$null,$member,$null)
$member.GetType().InvokeMember("ADSPath","GetProperty",$null,$member,$null)
}
}
What am I doing wrong?

while i have never tried it, i thot that the objects returned by a job where NOT live objects. if that is correct, then your.InvokeMember()call is likely returning garbage since there likely aint anything there to invoke.
