OutOfMemory Exception on remote execution using Powershell Invoke-Command

Question

I am trying to execute an exe on a remote computer using invoke-command. Executing the exe on the remote machine after logging into the machine using remote desktop takes 1G

Answer 1

Complete PowerShell script, based on mjolinor's answer, for anyone who wants to skip the reasons and just make it work:

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000000
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Plugin\Microsoft.PowerShell\Quotas\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000000
Restart-Service WinRM

Answer 2

As an addition to mjolinor's answer, you can change the MaxMemoryPerShellMB by running:

sl WSMan:\localhost\Shell
Set-Item MaxMemoryPerShellMB 300

Answer 3

From:

The defult memory limit on remote shells is 150MB

MaxMemoryPerShellMB Specifies the maximum amount of memory allocated per shell, including the shell's child processes. The default is 150 MB.
