Powershell: error handling with try and catch
- by resolver101
I'm writing a script and want to control the errors. However im having trouble finding information on error handling using the try, catch. I want to catch the specific error (shown below) and then perform some actions and resume the code. What code is needed for this?
This is the code i am running and im entering in a invalid username when prompted.
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -ComputerName localhost -Credential (Get-Credential)
Get-WmiObject : User credentials cannot be used for local connections
