get-content -wait doesn't work for unknown reason

$

Hi,

I'm using get-content with the parameter -wait as a logfile monitor on remote clients.

It looks like this:

get-content "$drive2\$progpath\log\message.log" -wait -readcount 0 -tail 10

$drive2 is the UNC path to the client.

It worked fine on all clients until we started a rollout in the USA. There I have the problem that the command starts normal but the "-wait" parameter is ignored without any error. Executing the command again returns the same result. We have Win7 clients with powershell 3. I tried to replace the unc path with a mapped drive letter but the result is still the same. The WAN link between Germany and USA is not the fastest but thats not the problem because I had the same problems when I was in the USA with my client. Any idea how to modify the command or how to replace it with a more stable command is welcome.

Regards

Sven
