Time out does not work

i use following script query service status:-

$timeout = new-timespan -seconds 20

$co = new-object system.management.connectionoptions
$eo = new-object system.management.enumerationoptions
$co.authentication = "default"
$co.timeout = $timeout
$eo.timeout = $timeout

foreach ($server in $servers)
{ 
 $ms = new-object system.management.managementscope("\\$server\root\cimv2" , $co)
 $query = new-object system.management.objectquery "select * win32_operatingsystem"
 $searcher = new-object system.management.managementobjectsearcher $ms,$query,$eo

 try {
  $searcher.get()
 }
 catch {$_}
}

it works  fine on pc (win 7), time-out setting not kick in when implement on monitoring server (win 2008 std) . powershell version same on both machines:-

major  minor  build  revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
2      0      -1     -1

any idea on why works on win 7, not win 2008 ?

thanks, lan

i don't know happens,but may using job.

 

foreach ($server in $servers) { 	$job = start-job -scriptblock {param ($server) get-wmiobject win32_operatingsystem -computername $server} -argumentlist $server 	wait-job -timeout 20 -job $job | receive-job  	remove-job $job -force }
