my powershell script sends a file to several clients within customised session using following code (code is shortened)
function DoCopyFile
{
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] $RemoteHost,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] $SrcPath,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] $DstPath,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] $Session)
.
.
.
$Chunks | Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { `
param($Dest, $Length)
$DestBytes = new-object byte[] $Length
$Pos = 0
foreach ($Chunk in $input) {
[GC]::Collect()
[Array]::Copy($Chunk, 0, $DestBytes, $Pos, $Chunk.Length)
$Pos += $Chunk.Length
}
[IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($Dest, $DestBytes)
[GC]::Collect()
} -ArgumentList $DstPath, $SrcBytes.Length
.
.
.
}
$Pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $Node.Auth.Password -asplaintext -force
$Cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList ("{0}\{1}" -f $Name, $Node.Auth.Username),$Pwd
$Sopts = New-PSSessionOption -MaximumReceivedDataSizePerCommand 99000000
$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $Name -Credential $Cred -SessionOption $Sopts
DoCopyFile $Name ("{0}\{1}" -f $Node.Installer.ResourceDir, $Driver.Name) $Dest $Session
The full copy function is described here: http://poshcode.org/2216
The problem arises with a file larger than 52MB. it fails with following error:
Sending data to a remote command failed with the following error message: The total data received from the remote
client exceeded allowed maximum. Allowed maximum is 52428800. For more information, see the
about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

As you see in the code, i use customised ps session. when i set MaximumReceivedDataSizePerCommand to very low values (like 10kb) it fails with a message which tells maximum is 10kb, so i assume that MaximumReceivedDataSizePerCommand is applied to ps session object.
Is it required to do this configuration on remote machine or somewhere else? what is causing this error?
thanks.
