MDT-Doc-Script_0.6.ps1 Remotely

[BClev]

You had previously mentioned on the MSITPros blog that you know how to run this script from a computer that has MSWord installed to inventory a remote server with MDT.

I have the DeploymentShare drive of the remote server mapped to my regular computer, but I can't figure how to point the script at it.

This is the error I receive.

Done

Even if I import the command Add-PSSnapIn Microsoft.BDD.PSSnapIn, the provider "MDTProvider" error still occurs.

Hi. I will check this out as soon as possible. It has been a while since i used this script. You have MDT installed locally on the client machine?

My local machine (L1) is a regular work desktop with Word. My remote server (RS1) is the one with MDT. I don't have a license to put Word on RS1.
