Open a powershell\r\n2. Use Get-Credential to capture a credential that has permissions to remote into a different machine\r\n3. Type: Enter-PsSession [remote machine] -Credentials [credentials]\r\n\r\n**Note**\r\nThis only seems to occur during an interactive session. If I use Invoke-Command passing a computer name, or session variable, it executes without issue. e.g. The following works:\r\n\r\n$creds = Get-Credential\r\n$script = { Get-ChildItem }\r\nInvoke-Command [Computer] -ScriptBlock $script -Credential $creds\n\n### Expected behavior\n\n```console\nAn interactive remote session is started\n```\n\n\n### Actual behavior\n\n```console\nThe terminal displays a NullReferenceException then crashes\n```\n\n\n### Error details\n\n```console\nApplication: pwsh.exe\r\nCoreCLR Version: 8.0.123.58001\r\n.NET Version: 8.0.1\r\nDescription: The application requested process termination through System.Environment.FailFast.\r\nMessage: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.\r\nDescription: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.\r\n   at System.Management.Automation.Security.SystemPolicy.LogWDACAuditMessage(ExecutionContext context, String title, String message, String fqid, Boolean dropIntoDebugger)\r\n   at System.Management.Automation.Remoting.RunspaceRef.ParsePsCommandUsingScriptBlock(String line, Nullable`1 useLocalScope)\r\n   at System.Management.Automation.Remoting.RunspaceRef.CreatePipeline(String line, Boolean addToHistory, Boolean useNestedPipelines)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.Executor.ExecuteCommandAndGetResultAsString(String command, Exception\u0026 exceptionThrown)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.InputLoop.EvaluatePrompt()\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.InputLoop.Run(Boolean inputLoopIsNested)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.InputLoop.RunNewInputLoop(ConsoleHost parent, Boolean isNested)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.EnterNestedPrompt()\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.DoRunspaceLoop(String initialCommand, Boolean skipProfiles, Collection`1 initialCommandArgs, Boolean staMode, String configurationName, String configurationFilePath)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.Run(CommandLineParameterParser cpp, Boolean isPrestartWarned)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.Start(String bannerText, String helpText, Boolean issProvidedExternally)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.UnmanagedPSEntry.Start(String[] args, Int32 argc)\r\nStack:\r\n   at System.Environment.FailFast(System.String, System.Exception)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.UnmanagedPSEntry.Start(System.String[], Int32)\r\n   at Microsoft.PowerShell.ManagedPSEntry.Main(System.String[])\n```\n\n\n### Environment data\n\n```powershell\nName                           Value\r\n\r\n----                           -----\r\n\r\nPSVersion                      7.4.1\r\n\r\nPSEdition                      Core\r\n\r\nGitCommitId                    7.4.1\r\n\r\nOS                             Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045\r\n\r\nPlatform                       Win32NT\r\n\r\nPSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0…}\r\n\r\nPSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3\r\n\r\nSerializationVersion           1.1.0.1\r\n\r\nWSManStackVersion              3.0\n```\n\n\n### Visuals\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/scalessm","@type":"Person","name":"scalessm"},"datePublished":"2024-02-20T22:41:41.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/21253/PowerShell/issues/21253"}
