According to Technet it is not required 
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849719.aspx) as the default would 
be 'localhost' which is the same as 127.0.0.1.

So you are correct it is not required. However when I take away '-computername 
127.0.0.1' I get a return of:
Array
(
    [0] => Invoke-Command : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the 
specified named
    [1] => parameters.
    [2] => At line:1 char:172
    [3] => + $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential 
-ArgumentList
    [4] => @('ad ...
    [5] => + 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [6] => ~~~
    [7] =>     + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-Command],

    [9] =>     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 
AmbiguousParameterSet,Microsoft.PowerShell.Comma
    [10] =>    nds.InvokeCommandCommand
    [11] =>
)

End Of Scene

For whatever reason, the powershell command does not want to execute properly 
without that variable being defined explicitly.

(Not sure if that is what you are asking exactly but I think that was answering 
the question, if not let me know and I'll try to answer the best I can)

Thanks in advance!

How have you determined that invoke-command requires -computername?

Thank you for your response Serge!
  The computer name  is for the invoke-command, ComputerName has to be 
specified to tell the computer where the command is to be routed. Since I want 
this to run locally over PHP I figured that it would be a good way to avoid 
running a script as I have read online that when it can be avoided it's a good 
practice (I also couldn't get this to work properly... :) But that is a side 
note). The piece that outputs the extra RunSpaceID and the PSComputerName is 
the $_.Status portion of everything.

If someone knows how to cut it out that would be fine but really I just need to 
pull the Target Name and the Value from result. For the attached example it 
would be $IQNTarget = iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target1 and $Value = NotConnected 
(Which there are two options for this which is Connected or NotConnected).

To use Select Object here would I do Select-Object $Value?

Hi,

Although this is more powershell related than PHP...

When Powershell returns an object, you can pipe the output through 
Select-Object to get only certain object properties.

To better answer your question:
First, why do you specify ComputerName as 127.0.0.1 if the credential is 
already specified?
Also, perhaps it is easier to create a .ps1 file that you run, especially for 
readability.

Good morning everyone,
  First time posting in here, although I've been listening in for a few weeks 
now.
So this one has got me stumped, I am fairly new to PHP but I cannot seem to 
Google through this one.
I cannot figure out how to 'exclude' PSComputerName and RunspaceId, which is 
ultimately what I'm struggling with. Please see below for script snips and 
explanations.

Also if there are any best practices you would recommend I'm open to it being 
that I am fairly new and self-taught to PHP scripting.


I have a bit of code I've put together (as ugly as it is) as follows in line:
<?php


###############
## Variables ##
###############

$TargetName = "Target1";
$login = "\$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential 
-ArgumentList 
@('administra...@widget.com<mailto:administra...@widget.com>',(ConvertTo-SecureString
 -String 'MyPassword' -AsPlainText -Force))";
$command = "Invoke-Command -computername 127.0.0.1 -credential \$cred 
-scriptblock {& Get-IscsiServerTarget -TargetName " . $TargetName . " | % { 
\$_.TargetIqn, \$_.Status}} -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck 
-SkipCNCheck -SkipRevocationCheck)";
$psCMD = "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -command \"$login; 
$command\" <NUL";


########################################
## Variable Checking (For Debug Mode) ##
########################################

#echo "\$psCMD = $psCMD";


################
## Run Script ##
################

exec($psCMD,$out);


############
## Output ##
############

echo ('<pre>');
print_r($out);
echo ('</pre>');


###################
## End Of Script ##
###################

echo "End Of Scene";

?>

The issue I have is that it feeds back:

Array
(
    [0] => iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target1
    [1] =>
    [2] => PSComputerName             RunspaceId                 Value
    [3] => --------------             ----------                 -----
    [4] => 127.0.0.1                  52fb8b1b-8d8b-4eec-9419... NotConnected
    [5] =>
    [6] =>
)

End Of Scene

What I should see so I can then turn it into variables is what I run when I run 
the command straight through the local Powershell command prompt which would 
return:
PS C:\Users\administrator.WIDGET.000> Get-IscsiServerTarget | % { $_.TargetIqn, 
$_.Status}
iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target1
NotConnected
iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target2
NotConnected
iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target3
NotConnected
iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target4
Connected
iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target5
NotConnected
iqn.2013-04.com.widget:Target6
NotConnected

I cannot figure out how to 'exclude' PSComputerName and RunspaceId

Sorry in advance for the wordy explanation.

Cheers!

Alan
