Cannot execute SharePoint Powershell commands from remote powershell
I am trying to use Powershell remoting to run SharePoint Powershell commands from my client machine after remoting to the SP Server. I am getting the following error
Cannot access the local farm. Verify that the local farm is properly configured, currently available, and that you
have the appropriate permissions to access the database before trying again.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...SPCmdletGetSite:SPCmdletGetSite) [Get-SPSite], SPCmdletE
xception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletGetSite
The attached screenshot shows the complete order of execution of commands. Can anyone assist here?
Try running PowerShell "As Administrator", then (substituting farm credentials)
runas.exe /noprofile /env /user:domain\farmadmin "powershell.exe"
This should start new PowerShell window running as the Farm Administrator. Then:
asnp microsoft.sharepoint.powershell
You can use
Add-SPShellAdmin domain\username
to give yourself Shell Admin access.
