在与Lync的远程会话中执行标准PowerShell cmdlet

Question

Having an odd issue over here. I'm able to start a remote session from my C# application to PowerShell in a Lync Server 2010 instance. I'm able to get all the Lync-specific cmdlets and execute them, but if I try to do something with a standard cmdlet — in my case "get-content" in order to convert a file to a byte array — it will not recognize the command.

Is there a way/need to load the standard PS set of cmdlets into that session? It feels like I'm missing something here...

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Here's a code snippet of what I have going on...

PSCredential creds = new PSCredential(lyncUser, lyncPW);

        WSManConnectionInfo conn = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri(lyncURI), schema, creds);

        conn.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Default;

        Runspace rs = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(conn);
        rs.Open();


        List<FileInfo> files = getWavFiles();

        foreach (var file in files)
        {

            Pipeline lyncCommands = rs.CreatePipeline();

            Command getContent = new Command("Get-Content");
            getContent.Parameters.Add(file.FullName);
            getContent.Parameters.Add("readcount", 0);
            getContent.Parameters.Add("encoding", "byte");
            lyncCommands.Commands.Add(getContent);

            Command importAnnouncement = new Command("import-csannouncementfile");
            importAnnouncement.Parameters.Add("parent", "applicationserver:myserver.mydomain.mycom");
            importAnnouncement.Parameters.Add("filename", file.Name);
            importAnnouncement.Parameters.Add("force");

            lyncCommands.Commands.Add(importAnnouncement);

            foreach (PSObject r in lyncCommands.Invoke())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(r.ToString() + Environment.NewLine);
            }
        }

The "import-csannouncement" part will work just fine... it's "get-content" part that gets dicey...

You can try re-configuring the LYNC server remote sessions for Full Language mode.

(Link is about configuring for Exchange servers, but I believe it's the same issue)
