Hello, Response from Receive-Job contains some errors and I want to capture those in variable for some reason those are missing from variable but do output to screen when required. Example is below. I'd like $resp variable to contain error message as well, not only "Server1 processing finished" PS C:\Users\admin>> $Sender | Receive-Job -Keep Server1 Processing finished PS C:\Users\admin>> $resp = ($Sender | Receive-Job -Keep) PS C:\Users\admin>> $resp |

use Get-Job to get the job object, and pipe it to Get-Member. You should see properties of the job object that provide access to the various pipelines. Keep in mind that in PowerShell, error messages are never part of the "main" output – and Remoting only captures the "main" output. Errors, warnings, and so on have their own pipelines, or channels. They're not always capturable with Remoting. |

Thanks. ($Sender | Receive-Job 2>&1) |

And just to clarify what that's doing: It's taking the error pipeline (#2) and redirecting it into the main output pipeline (#1), mingling the two. |

ErrorVariable and ErrorAction seem to work with Receive-Job just like any other cmdlet (though this test was running a local job, not remote. I don't have another computer up on my home network at the moment for a full test.)
$job = Start-Job -ScriptBlock { Write-Error "This is an error."; Write-Output "This is output." }
$null = $job | Wait-Job
$output = $job | Receive-Job -Keep -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable remoteErrors
$remoteErrors.Count
$remoteErrors[0]

For some reason does not work for me PS C:\Users\admin>> Receive-Job 661 -Keep -ErrorVariable $RemoteErr Server1 finished PS C:\Users\gsuvalian>> $RemoteErr -eq $null |

You should remove the '$' character from the '-ErrorVariable' parameter. Your code should probably be: Receive-Job -ID 661 -Keep -ErrorVariable RemoteErr $RemoteErr -eq $null You can read more about it if you run Get-Help about_CommonParameters |
