Powershell command works in local PS prompt, but not in a remote PS prompt

  • 772

I am just beginning to use PS Remoting to administer servers but have run into a snag. When I am at the local server command line, I can run a command like

Get-DfsReplicationGroup

and the prompt returns back a list of my DFS Replication Groups. However, when I am in a remote PSSession to the same server, and run the same command, I receive an error 

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: args
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-DfsReplicationGroup], ArgumentNullException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentNullException,Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.Commands.GetDfsR
   eplicationGroupCommand

I have tried entering a remote session from not only Windows 10 but also from another Server 2012 R2 machine that has the same roles installed. It seems like somehow the command is operating differently depending on where it originates. The remote session appears to be working for other commands (I can change directories, create and delete files okay).

I set up my remote PSSession by:

$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession Server1 -Credential $cred

What am I missing in my remote-session setup?

powershell
