On windows XP x64 (and I assume win2k3) powershell 2.0, passing an arraylist of pscustomobjects to start-job as argumentlist parameter passes the object in but scriptproperties just disappear from the object (confirmed by get-member). Note properties of the pscustomobject do return just fine

Anyone know why? and/or have a solution for a work around?

$dbs is arraylist with pscustomobjects that have various noteproperties and scriptproperties.

All of the script properties disappear once passed into start-job, while note properties work just fine.

Below executed outside of start-job

$dbs | get-member

returns

ConnectionString NoteProperty   System.String ConnectionString=server=...
DbType           NoteProperty   System.String DbType=Staging                                                                                   
 CreateBackup     ScriptMethod   System.Object CreateBackup ();                                                                                  
GetBackup        ScriptMethod   System.Object GetBackup();

…
while

start-job -name $server -argumentlist $dbs,$server -scriptblock {
    param($dbs, $server)
 $dbs | get-member
 }

Returns

bool Equals(System.Object obj) 
int GetHashCode() 
type GetType() 
string ToString() 
System.String ConnectionString=server=...
System.String DbType=Staging
