I made it work on the following architecture with some modification
SCOM 2007 R2
Windows 2008 server x64
VLC as the sound player

c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe
-command “& c:\Scripts\SCOM_remote_sound_playing.ps1″
c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\

I had trouble if the path was SysWOW64

Do you mind if had your post to my blog, with my modification of the script and 2007 R2 images updates?

Hi,
I’ve SCOM 2007 R2 x64 installed on windows 2008 R2 x64.

When I execute the powershell script (SCOM-RunRemoteExecutable.ps1) on the RMS server I receive the following error in powershell console:
DecipherRetCode : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter ‘retCode’
. Cannot convert the “System.Management.ManagementBaseObject” value of type “Sy
stem.Management.ManagementBaseObject#\__PARAMETERS” to type “System.Int32″.
At C:\scripts\test.ps1:105 char:16
+ DecipherRetCode <<<< $retCode
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [DecipherRetCode], ParameterBin
din…mationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,DecipherRet
Code
The media player launches but it also displays an error saying Windows Media player encountered a problem while playing the file.

Thank’s a lot. It’s working with the parameter you gave :
-Command “& c:\temp\test.ps1″
Thank you.

It’s probably something with your command line parameters. I’d try:
-Command “& C:\Temp\test.ps1″
or just
“& C:\Temp\test.ps1″
Also remember that if your path has spaces in it, PoSh breaks it up into individual arguments, so you’d have to use single quotes instead.

I’m trying to use a powershell script as a notification command. but nothing appen.
When launching a vbscript everything is fine.
i’v the same set up as you on the notification channel windows.
Full path to file :
C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Command Line parameters :
-Command c:\temp\test.ps1
Initial directory:
c:\temp
The script just write an ok sentence to a file for now. it’s working correctly when started from a command prompt.
Do you have any idea on what could stop the notification so start ?
Thank’s a lot.

OK, I lied. Another thing …actually two more:

1) You have to right click on the script and select properties, then “unblock” beside Security, otherwise powershell returns errors about the script being un-signed.

2) The OpsMan account must have sufficient privileges to the file/folder when the script is located.

One other note:
The command line parameter for the Command Channel doesn’t trigger properly for me when using “-Command….”.
I got it to work using only X:\Path\to\file\.ps1
