launch powershell with command via cmd

Question

how to start, a program with the arguments using powershell via cmd :)

powershell -command "& {get-service -computername server1,server2 -displayname 'instance *'|where {$_.status -eq 'Running'}|foreach-object {start-process -filepath 'C:\monitor.exe' -argumentlist "-adminhost $($_.machinename) -servername $($_.name)"} } "

Now when replacing " " with the carts on ' ' program I get a text representation of variables

-argumentlist "-adminhost $($_.machinename) -servername $($_.name)"

is it possible to write such a command powershell starts the process with parameters?

Your best option would be to write the PowerShell code to a file and run that:

powershell.exe -File "C:\path\to\your.ps1"

If you must execute a command string with nested double quotes you need to escape the nested double quotes with backslashes:

powershell.exe -Command "&{Write-Output \"foo bar\"}"

In your case:

powershell.exe -Command "&{Get-Service -ComputerName server1,server2 -DisplayName 'instance *'|where {$_.Status -eq 'Running'}|ForEach-Object {Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\monitor.exe' -ArgumentList \"-adminhost $($_.MachineName) -servername $($_.Name)\"}}"

Or, since the individual arguments don't seem to contain spaces, you could pass the argument list as an actual list/array:

powershell.exe -Command "&{Get-Service -ComputerName server1,server2 -DisplayName 'instance *'|where {$_.Status -eq 'Running'}|ForEach-Object {Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\monitor.exe' -ArgumentList '-adminhost', $_.MachineName, '-servername', $_.Name}}"
