Running Powershell from vbs with command as parameter

Question

Hey i want to run from an vbs script a powershell commando. Something like start powershell.exe and enter a specific command like Restart-Service. I thought something similar to this could work:

strCommand = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command Restart-Service [service name]"

    Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
    Set objExec = WshShell.Exec(strCommand)

Has someone an idea how can i manage this?

Answer 1

1) store your powershell command as powershell script.
2) Use the vbs to run the powershell

  Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
 objShell.Run("powershell.exe -noexit c:\scripts\test.ps1")

Answer 2

Try this:

powershell -command '& {command to run}'
