I've created numerous scripts in PowerShell that are working as intended if I execute them directly, however, when I try and setup a schedule to run these in Task Scheduler (to run with highest privileges) it doesn't seem to be running anything at all.
I'm running the following in my actions:
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\PS\Mailboxes\CheckForwardingList.ps1
I'm getting a "Last Run Result" of 0x0 and the particular purpose of the above script is to generate a TXT file from EXO which it then mails out via SMTP and I've yet to receive any emails and I also don't see any TXT being generated in the folder where the script is located.
I do have two additional scripts setup which aren't running but once I've addressed the issue on the above this should quickly rectify the problems.
I like to test my PowerShell scripts from a command prompt first.
For example a script called C:\Tests\Test-PowerShellScriptsRunning.ps1 that only contains the following one liner helps me to test if scripts can run successfully on a machine
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "If you see this, then your script is running"
Next, I run this script from a command prompt, to get the syntax right in my scheduled task:
powershell.exe -nologo -file c:\Tests\Test-PowerShellScriptsRunning.ps1
Of course, you can add the -Executionpolicy bypass parameter, but I prefer to test the execution policy first.
However, as you are running a script that connects to ExchangeOnline, I suspect it has to do with the user you are running this task under. Does the script run if you run this task under your credentials or are the credentials stored on the system or in the script?
You might want to check this article to see how you can register an app and authenticate without storing your credentials on the machine to run the script unattended: App-only authentication for unattended scripts in the EXO V2 module
I'm having a strange scenario where my command works on PowerShell manually but not when executed on Jenkins PowerShell plugin. I'm new to PowerShell and Jenkins and I'm thinking that there's a rule I'm missing. I looked all over the here and net but I failed to find the solution.
I created a job that executes a PowerShell script that opens an RDP file on my desktop using a freestyle project. It works as expected when executed on Powershell but in Jenkins, the build succeeds but it did not open the RDP.
Here's the script:
Start-Process "$env:windir\system32\mstsc.exe" -ArgumentList "RDP File /h:900 /w:1600" -WindowStyle Minimized
I'm using Windows Server 2016.
Here's what I tried:
By default Jenkins uses 32-bit PowerShell, so I manually used the 64-bit but it didn't work.
I made sure that Get-ExecutionPolicy is set to RemoteSigned on LocalMachine
Run the script using Windows Batch Command
I tried opening notepad but it does not work too.
Is this really the behavior of the PowerShell plugin? Is there any points that I'm missing? Kindly help me with this.
To anyone might need this. I was able to execute the RDP via Jenkins PowerShell plugin.
What I did was to go Jenkins' Window Service > Log on tab > Select "This account" and enter your user account credentials.
I suspect this is a security issue. Jenkins by default is using the "SYSTEM" account which does not have enough privileges.
I am trying to run the following script upon startup of my machine because I cannot get a service to start on startup. I can schedule it to run. The problem I am facing seems to be a user vs administrator issue.
This is for a Windows 7 machine with PowerShell 4.0.
I have set the execution policy to unrestricted.
When I try to run the script as the User I designated to have administrative privileges I see the following error.
When I right click the powershell icon, run as administrator the command works fine.
The command is
get-service -name "*vmauthd*" |start-service
Is it possible to run this as my user account?
Solution I was able to get this script to run on startup as I initially desired. I turned off UAC and set the execution policy to unrestricted. I am not sure if the UAC was the issue before but the script runs now. I created a cmd file with this in the code. I set the cmd file to run at startup using Windows Task Scheduler and set the task to run whether logged in or not.
PowerShell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted"
PowerShell -Command "get-service -name "vmauthd" | start-service"
pause
Here is an image of the cmd file
I am trying to run an SSIS package via PowerShell ISE
Executable: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe
Arguments: N:\PowerShell\Move-Item.ps1
But the problem is the Arguments files is in the network drive which has no SSIS. My SSIS is in a Server called PFACESQAA. The Executable is from my network drive (Active Directory Domain). How do I run this from the Active Directory Domain or what is the best way to run this. I hope I made sense.
Thanks,
Powershell´s -file parameter works with network paths just fine, here is an example:
powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file \\server\share\file.ps1
I am new to powershell so a step by step guide will help.
I need to run a powershell script through group policy everytime a users logs on. this is to register DLL's that regulally change.
how can i do this without a prompt coming up for the user
What prompt are you getting? How are you running your script in the login process?
I have ran powershell scripts by using the following in a batch script
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -file ".\script.ps1"
