I have a remote server that contains a Data directory which contains some folders/files i want to delete (based on name match)
Suppose the actual server is: D2WP68JVM.domain.com and
lets say i have a CName for that server: server1.domain.com
I have a database table thats populated with the server containing these folders/files but as a CName server1.domain.com for
easier user readability/maintenance...because its much easier to identify an alias server than the actual server name with all the alphanumeric it has in the server its pointing to D2WP68JVM.domain.com.
the problem lies with connecting remotely to the CName to remove the files
Invoke-Command -Computer 'server1.domain.com' -ScriptBlock {Remove-Item $args[0] -force } -ArgumentList 'C:\Data\filetodelete.db'this results in error:
[server1.domain.com] Connecting to remote server server1.domain.com failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occurred while using Kerberos authentication: Cannot find the computer server1.domain.com. Verify that the computer exists on the network and that the name provided is spelled correctly. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. + CategoryInfo : OpenError: (server1.domain.com:String) [], PSRemotingTransportException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NetworkPathNotFound,PSSessionStateBroken
so is it at all possible to connect with CName? only using the actual server works...
