Hi Mohd

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support. I have taken ownership of this request and will be assisting you.

I worked with a forum poster , David, earlier and he suggested a workaround by running a powershell.exe as a regular shell. Would appreciate if you can please have a look at this thread :  http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/os_windowsprotocols/thread/73b48bb1-5eda-4816-8ade-db5630622e1c and analyze if it resolves your query.

Furthermore, I believe you are referring MS-WSMV specification (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc251526.aspx) while framing above SOAP message. Kindly confirm if this understanding is correct.

Thanks.
