My InvokeVMScriptPlus function serves me well while interacting with the guest OS on a VM. And I’m apparently not the only one that uses the function. This post introduces Invoke-VMScriptPlus v3.

The original Invoke-VMScriptPlus post, and the addition of PS Core support, described in the Invoke-VMScriptPlus v2 post, keep being some of my most read posts. Time for another update.

In this v3 version, I introduce some new features to the function.

• PSv6 and PSv7 support
• Use files (input and output) from within your scripts
• improved sudo support

Update July 2nd 2021

• Fixed incorrect variable NameHost

Update January 16th 2020

• Bug fix which occured when connected to an ESXi node
