Already running a command

on occasion when using command connects server, command never completes.  if try cancel, message " already running command.  please wait "  wait apparently forever, or @ least beyond capacity of patience.  either open new tab, or close , reopen ise. the command may get-service or gwmi query.  server online, may or may not have admin access server.  guess it's possible remote server may trying respond, , pws waiting patiently reply.  i'm running ise windows 7 enterprise.  in general servers not have winrm enabled.  anyone have same issue or idea problem may be?  doesn't happen when cancel command i'd commands canceled. :) i'm sorry, there's bit speculate on.  may need see if there common problems, particular os, or try network traces.  sorry, not else think of can do.

Export-ModuleMember vs. Keys in Manifest

hello, i'm bit confused difference between export-modulemember , settable keys in module manifest. "export-modulemanifest -function" in module    |    "functionstoexport" in manifest "export-modulemanifest -variable" in module    |    "variablestoexport" in manifest "export-modulemanifest -alias" in module         |    "aliasestoexport" in manifest i'm unsure when should use 1 or other. can functionstoexport give script loads module access specific functions can't variablestoexport restrict variables. export-modulemember -variable seems work though. can give quick explanation, or point link one. risc, look closely @ helpfile both add-modulemanifest , export-modulemember job of explaining (note did read either). by default (no export-modulemember in module script) functions thing exported. if there call export-modulemember strictly followed. the module manifest used _restrict_ not add. play around manif

User's can't login after resume from standby.

when resuming standby our systems won't allow users login until network initalizes.  logging kerberos realm , error message when users attempt login "the system cannot log on because domain xxx not available".   running windows xp windows server 2008.  error makes sense since systems not have initalized network before user attempts log in.  there anyway force computer wait network come before user allowed login.   know there way on system startup through group policy, there anyway on resume standby? hi, as far know, there no such policy. suggest try update nic driver first. if issue persists, please test in safe mode network, what’s result? if no progress, please check if there error message in event log on windows xp systems. thanks. this posting provided "as is" no warranties, , confers no rights.
