Need to execute a PS workflow

Question

Hi. I'm trying to run a PowerShell workflow (I'm using PS v4.0). Here's the code:
#Load the Active Directory PS module
Import-module activedirectory
#Collect information on trusted domains
$ADDomainTrust = Get-ADObject -Filter {ObjectClass -eq "trustedDomain"} -Properties * | Sort-Object cn
#Create workflow to execute trustsearch script in parallel
workflow Get-domains{
foreach -parallel ($trusteddomain in $ADDomainTrust){
$trust = $trusteddomain.name
powershell -command "C:\trustsearch.ps1 $trust"
The problem is the only thing the script does is load the active directory module, then it stops. I know the rest of the code works, because if I remove all of the workflow terminology it works fine. The objective of this script is to pull all of the trusted
domains into a collection then execute the "trustsearch.ps1" script against each one of the trusted domains AT THE SAME TIME. Running the script in series doesn't do me any good.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is this an activity that is even supported by .NET WWF?
Thanks.

Hi GA123,
To run a script (a .ps1 file) in a workflow, please enclose the call to the script in an
InlineScript activity.
And the script below is for your reference:
#Load the Active Directory PS module
Import-module activedirectory
#Create workflow to execute trustsearch script in parallel
workflow Get-domains{
#Collect information on trusted domains
$ADDomainTrust = Get-ADObject -Filter {ObjectClass -eq "trustedDomain"} -Properties * | Sort-Object cn | select -ExpandProperty Name
foreach -parallel ($trust in $ADDomainTrust){
InlineScript {C:\trustsearch.ps1 $using:trust}
If the script above can not work, please give the error infornmation if there is anything.
