We have a powershell script which is used to call an API by establishing connection over SSL. The certificates are placed along powershell script to be used by it. And the password is mentioned in an ini file which script reads. It was working fine earlier but suddenly it has started giving below error:
Exception calling "Import" with "3" argument(s): "The specified network password is not correct.
"
At C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\NewInstallIssue\Download\win\installCDWindows.ps1:70 char:3
+ $cert.Import($CertificatePath, $KeyStore_Password ,'DefaultKeySet')
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CryptographicException
The part of powershell script throwing this error is:
$cert= New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
$CertificatePath = Join-Path -Path $PSScriptRoot -ChildPath 'cdCert.pfx'
$cert.Import($CertificatePath, $KeyStore_Password ,'DefaultKeySet')
$KeyStore_Password contains correct password as I tested what is stored in this variable just before $cert.Import using echo.

I have installed Azure stack development kit and i am trying to install the App service.
Then when i have to run the PS1 script Create-AADIdentityApp.ps1 i fill in the following parameters
DirectoryTenantName
AdminArmEndpoint
TenantArmEndpoint
CertificateFilePath
Then i get the following error
New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "3" argument(s): "The system cannot find the file specified.
"
At C:\app-service-certificate-install\Create-AADIdentityApp.ps1:81 char:24

does anyone have any experience?
You provided a invalid CertificateFilePath.
It should be Full path to the identity application certificate file generated earlier.
Please check and correct it.
I am working on a deployment script for some software, and my script is working on probably 90% of the machines it runs on, but on the other 10%, I get a failure in the download portion. Here is what I have:
$tls = "Tls";
$Token = "#ZorusKey#";
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $tls;
$source = <Source>
$destination = "C:\installers\ZorusInstaller.exe";
$WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$WebClient.DownloadFile($source, $destination)
I have created the C:\installers folder on all target machines, so I don't think that's the problem. When run as a script, I get the following exception:
Exception calling "DownloadFile" with "2" argument(s): "An exception occurred during a WebClient request."
At C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\f1e96243cb9c4ef0b0336a152ed8827f.ps1:8 char:1
+ $WebClient.DownloadFile($source, $destination)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException
Which then causes the following steps to fail, as the downloaded file doesn't exist.
I have also taken the step on several of the failing machines of running each line of the script above one at a time (copied / pasted from the same Powershell ISE window) and the download works without issue. looking for a possible reason / resolution.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys, I'm trying to modify this PowerShell script and put it in windows startup. So every restart a VBScript will call this PowerShell script and it will update the info like a Windows Sysinternals BGinfo.
https://pastebin.com/nDh2L9dm
# Close Graphics
$image.Dispose();
# Save and close Bitmap
$background.Save($out, [system.drawing.imaging.imageformat]::Png);
$background.Dispose();
$bmp.Dispose();
# Output file
Get-Item -Path $out
This is the error I get in PowerShell ISE
Exception calling "Save" with "2" argument(s): "A generic error occurred in GDI+."
At D:\Desktop\PS-BGInfo-My-Version.ps1:195 char:5
+ $background.Save($out, [system.drawing.imaging.imageformat]::Png) ...

I'm using the Invoke-Expression cmdlet in PowerShell to load modules.
The following code works as intended.
$url="http://pastebin.com/raw/FuxtpN69"
IEX (New-Object System.Net.Webclient).DownloadString($url)
But when I try using variables to split the domain and the page.
$u="http://pastebin.com"
$rl="/raw/FuxtpN69"
$url="$u$rl"
IEX (New-Object System.Net.Webclient).DownloadString($url)
I get the following path error:
Exception calling "DownloadString" with "1" argument(s): "The given path's format is not supported."
At line:8 char:53
+ IEX (New-Object System.Net.Webclient).DownloadString <<<< ($url)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
I think you are running PowerShell as a different account (for example an administrator).
Maybe that account's proxy settings are different that your normal account's?
See the credentials part first,
$webClient.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
Then, Try setting
$client.Proxy = $null
before downloading and see if it helps.
I am attempting to automate a sharepoint 2013 deployment via remote powershell from the build server. Everything executes as expected except when having anything to do with some class in sharepoint dll's such as (Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.WebNavigationSettings)
If I run the same script locally under the same credentials it runs fine.
I have considered the below:
The user has full admin right on both machines
Disabled UAC on the remote server
Followed the required Remote Powershell steps in thig post (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/09b60466-5432-48c9-aedd-1af343e957de/user-cannot-be-found-when-using-invokecommand-newspsite-on-sharepoint)
I set powershell to run as admin by defualt via the registry (New-Item -Path "Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowershellScript.1\Shell\runas\command" -Force -Name '' -Value '"c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -noexit "%1"')
Script Code:
#Set the radio buttons value
$settings = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.WebNavigationSettings (,$rootWeb)
$settings.GlobalNavigation.Source = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.StandardNavigationSource]::PortalProvider
#Set the radio buttons value
$settings.CurrentNavigation.Source = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.StandardNavigationSource]::PortalProvider
write-host "I am here.........................."
$settings.Update()
#Set the Publishing Web
$SPPubWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($rootWeb)
#Global Navigation Settings
$SPPubWeb.Navigation.InheritGlobal = $false
$SPPubWeb.Navigation.GlobalIncludePages = $false
The Remote Powershell output is as below:
I am here..........................
Exception calling "Update" with "0" argument(s): "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException

Exception setting "GlobalIncludePages": "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], SetValueInvocationException

+ PSComputerName : Contoso-DEVSP
Many thanks in advance
You need to check CredSSP authentication. Remote PowerShell execution with SharePoint fails as the second hop translates the credentials to system credentials. If the task involves querying or updating DB server, it will fail as SYSTEM account will not have access the remote PowerShell on SQL Server. You need to enable CredSSP.
Check this blog post I wrote a while ago. This is not specific to SharePoint but it should apply to your scenario as well.
