Enter-PsSession: NullReferenceException crash in 7.4.1 #21253
Description
Prerequisites
- Write a descriptive title.
- Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
- Search the existing issues.
- Refer to the FAQ.
- Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a powershell
- Use Get-Credential to capture a credential that has permissions to remote into a different machine
- Type: Enter-PsSession [remote machine] -Credentials [credentials]
Note
This only seems to occur during an interactive session. If I use Invoke-Command passing a computer name, or session variable, it executes without issue. e.g. The following works:
$creds = Get-Credential
$script = { Get-ChildItem }
Invoke-Command [Computer] -ScriptBlock $script -Credential $creds
Expected behavior
An interactive remote session is startedActual behavior
The terminal displays a NullReferenceException then crashesError details
