Hi guys,
I have a powershell scripts that uses an interactive InputBox() method to collect the user's input. I'm trying to run it on a remote server, but get an error that the method can't run since the Posh session is not interactive.
How do I open an interactive session?
I've tried with "new-pssession" cmdlet but I read here that this is not supported:
"Interactive native windows console commands are not supported in a remote powershell session. I know this sounds dumb, but currently this
is the case (as of PowerShell v4.0)."

Pretty new to Powershell, appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!
My code looks like this:
#prompting for GUI boxes
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.VisualBasic
$EventNo = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter the event ID you want to create","Event ID Input","1")
if($EventNo.Length -eq 0){
exit
}
$EventSource = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter the event source","Event Source","My Task Source")
if($EventSource.Length -eq 0){
exit
}
#Create a custom event source
New-EventLog -Source $EventSource -LogName 'Operations Manager'
#Write the event
Write-EventLog -LogName 'Operations Manager' -Source $EventSource -EntryType Warning -EventId $EventID -Message "This is a test event created by task"
#Show result to user
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::MsgBox("The event with event ID '$EventNo' and Source '$EventSource' has been created in the Application log")
exit
Works like a charm on the local machine.
