powershell remoting invoke-command

I've spent hours debugging this and I'm integrating two systems and I'm working with an scenario while trying to execute a remote script using `Invoke-Command` in PowerShell 7.3... The script relies on several variables defined prior to the remote call, but I'm working with errors when those variables are not recognized in the remote session. Here’s a snippet of what I’m trying to do: ```powershell $myVar = "Hello World" $scriptBlock = { Write-Output $myVar } Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'RemoteServer' -ScriptBlock $scriptBlock ``` When I run this code, I receive the behavior: ``` Invoke-Command : The term '$myVar' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. ``` I’ve tried using the `-ArgumentList` parameter to pass the variable, but it seems like it still doesn’t work as expected. Here’s what I attempted: ```powershell $myVar = "Hello World" $scriptBlock = { param($inputVar) Write-Output $inputVar } Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'RemoteServer' -ScriptBlock $scriptBlock -ArgumentList $myVar ``` This time, I don’t get an behavior, but the output is not what I anticipated. The remote server simply returns nothing. I also considered using `-AsJob`, but I still need to capture the output directly. Is there a way to correctly pass the variable to the remote session or a different approach I should consider to ensure the variable is recognized? Hoping someone can shed some light on this. Could someone point me to the right documentation?
