The logic used to read the file contents sometimes would leave lines behind unread. It now defaults to reading all lines and counts each line it has actually read.
This script creates an immediately run scheduled task using fresh credentials. This is a generic implementation used by the Chef provisioners. The script gets around several limitations in WinRM.
1. Credential hopping
2. The non-default Administrator account sometimes doesn't have true Administrator access when run through WinRM even with UAC disabled.
In short, this script allows commands to run through WinRM just as if they were run directly on the box.
*nix commands are now filtered out instead of being sent to the guest. This means the command_alias PowerShell script is no longer needed.
Moved the PowerShell exit code helper to the WinRM shell and changed it to always return an exit code.
