[Get-Credential (supplying password)]

Hi,

 I need to use Get-WmiObject -computerName 192.168.0.1 -Credential $(GetCredential DOMAIN\User)

My problem is that I also need to supply the password. I have tried GetCredential DOMAIN\User,$pwd, where $pwd is a secure-string, but I get a transformation argument error.

 Is there any way to feed a password to Get-Credential, either as plain text (I know) or as a secure string.

I cannot seem to get it to work.

 

Regards

Craig

[blank window?]

Hi,

Is it normal behaviour for gadgets on windows XP to be accompanied by a completely blank extra window that when closed, closes all the associated gadgets?

I was hoping that there is a plan to remove the extra window if possible, and also hopefully not show each gadget in the Alt-Tab process list? I suppose that might not be too easy though.

Regards

Craig
