Thanks FedericoPorceddu82! I will check this out to see how Invoke-Parallel runs to see if it can help here.

    FedericoPorceddu82 I have reviewed this function and have tried it out in the example where the function accepts an input (Database Names in my case from a text file) and then runs a script (Mounting those DB's in another script action) but it doesn't seem to work. It seems to have a problem when I try to run the script where the mount-spcontentdatabase command is:

    Get-RunspaceData : The term 'Mount-SPContentDatabase' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    At E:\SharePoint\Scripts\Admin\Invoke-Parallel.ps1:543 char:13

    + Get-RunspaceData -wait

     

    Any ideas?

      I know the error is from running powershell without the add-psnapin Microsoft.sharepoint.powershell add-in, but in the Mount script I put in a line for this to apply.
