PowerShell - Remote Management

Why might this command fail?

Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server01 -ScriptBlock { Get-Content C:\secret.txt } -Credential $null

AGet-Content cannot be run remotely

BPassing $null as credential causes authentication failure

CThe script block syntax is invalid

DInvoke-Command does not support the -Credential parameter

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the use of -Credential
Passing $null explicitly as a credential causes authentication to fail because no valid credentials are provided.
Step 2: Check other options
Get-Content can run remotely inside script blocks; the script block syntax is valid; -Credential is supported.
Final Answer:
Passing $null as credential causes authentication failure -> Option B
Quick Check:
