Dos command x86 vs x64

Question

I am trying to out info using the netsh command as follows
$showready = netsh mbn show ready *
this works fine if I run it in the x64 powershell. However if I run it in powershell (x86) i get the output "The following command was not found: mbn show ready *." why is it cutting off the netsh?   I am trying to execute the script
through sccm so I figured it would run the x64 powershell since both sccm and the target os are 64bit. When I look at the logs I see this.
Running "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoLogo -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass "C:\WINDOWS\ccmcache\26\Untitled1.ps1" with 32bitLauncher
why does it run 32bit? and can I force it to run 64bit? better yet why do I get different output between the two? is there a way to get the correct output with the 32bit powershell?
thanks
Shaun

Answer 1

I have a powershell script that runs the netsh mbn show ready * command and the strips out the subscriber ID and simID and drops them into an xml file and the updates the mbn profile. The script works fine when I run it on the machine. It only fails when I
push it thorugh sccm because it runs with 32bit powershell. The command work with windows 7 just fine.
The question is how can I force powershell to run the 64bit version? Is there command that can be put into the script?

You will need to ask that question in the ConfigMgr forums.
