I have been working diligently to get Dynamics Installed on Azure, I have made it a good way through the Example-1VM.ps1 before encountering a failure to 'Install-AzureWinRMCertificate' error message indicating access denied. The error is coming while running the PowerShell script 'New-NAVAdminSession.ps1' I can see from looking in Azure, much of the work has been done properly from the Example-1VM.ps1 file, but I'm not sure what is next, Can I manually install the certificate and if so may I know how? If not, how do I correct this so I can re-run the Example-1VM.ps1 script.
Thanks to Walter slapping me upside the head (kindly of course) to double check if I was running PowerShell ISE as Administrator I was able to get this resolved.
Once I exited PowerShell ISE and re-entered the desktop application with the option 'run as Administrator' all worked fine.
Just goes to show sometimes we are too close to our own problems.
Cheers Walter
According to your error log, it seems a permission issue. Please close your PowerShell and run PowerShell Run as Administrator.

We have a Powershell script which downloads some zip files from a website and we have called the script in a scheduled task.
The problem is we are not getting the zip files even after the scheduled task is finished successfully. We are using a service account for that. Running the script manually downloads the zip file without any issues. Also, for another user which we use to login into the server, the task is working fine.
The issue started after our service account got locked out because of too many failed attempts in some other system.
I have tried bypassing the execution policy but no luck.
I have tried creating a similar new task but no luck.
I tried Start-in option to provide the task the location of the script but no luck.
After too much troubleshooting, I found the error in the Powershell logs in Event Viewer. Please find the error below:
Error Message = Unable to connect to the remote server
Fully Qualified Error ID = WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand
This shows that the task is unable to invoke the web request. Can this be a permission issue? If yes, then how can I provide the required access?
I troubleshooted a bit more and found that the issue is with the proxy. Can somebody tell me how can I resolve this issue? For the local user it is working fine. Even I am able to access the webpage manually through IE. Shall I import proxy settings from IE? If yes then how to do that?
I finally figured out the solution for this. I added proxy details in the script which will force the Invoke web request command to send the request to that proxy server. This thing has resolved my issue.

I'm looking for the best solution for automating Windows server 2012r2 via Rundeck. I'm extremely familiar with Rundeck but use it for linux vms. I've searched online for this topic but havent found anything that seems reliable. Ideally, I want to start a Runeck Job that can add users in Active Directory but not sure how to approach it. I've tried using winrm but have gotten mixed results. Ironically, it will run basic powershell commands but it errors when trying to do anything with AD. Ive even tried creating a powershell script on the AD server and have Rundeck simply execute the powershell script to no avail. Hopefully someone has had success in controlling windows nodes with Rundeck. Below is the error i receive when trying to run a powershell script.
Execution failed: 27 in project windows: [Workflow result: , step failures: {1=Dispatch failed on 1 nodes: [Windows_AD_Server: NonZeroResultCode: [WinRMPython] Result code: 1 + {dataContext=MultiDataContextImpl(map={ContextView(node:Windows_AD_Server)=BaseDataContext{{exec={exitCode=1}}}, ContextView(step:1, node:Windows_AD_Server)=BaseDataContext{{exec={exitCode=1}}}}, base=null)} ]}, Node failures: {Windows_AD_Server=[NonZeroResultCode: [WinRMPython] Result code: 1 + {dataContext=MultiDataContextImpl(map={ContextView(node:Windows_AD_Server)=BaseDataContext{{exec={exitCode=1}}}, ContextView(step:1, node:Windows_AD_Server)=BaseDataContext{{exec={exitCode=1}}}}, base=null)} ]}, status: failed]
Firstly, PowerShell already offers a built-in way to execute jobs, with no 3rd party addons.

I've never heard of / used Rundeck as Paul points out as well, so this just be the Rundeck has particulars that need to be in play first. Yet, looking at the docs, and a quick youtube video on the topic, there are several things that must be in place for what you say here...
I've tried using winrm but have gotten mixed results.

If Rundeck is similar to SCCM or Scheduled Task, then the same approach applies.

Also, this could very well be seen as a duplicate of this stackoverflow discussion and answer.

I am setting up somethin similar and have the same problem. The AD operation executes successfully, but returns exit code 1 and throw the error you mentioned. I am in the process of debugging the plugin, but it seems there is a bug within response handling.
Please check if the ad operation works although the error is thrown and please post the script block you are using to control the AD.
Edit: in meantime I was able to narrow down the issue and opened an issue with the project: github
I provisionally fixed the issue with adding the following line in winrm-session.py after line 89:
new_msg = msg
The line before is:
" error message: %s" % (e))
The line after is:
else:
If this does not solve your issue, please post your script block.

I'm trying to solve this problem since a long time, every execution I perform on TF.exe command, is throwing TF30063 exception, when i'm the admin and the only user of my TFS.
Problem: Try to execute this in a clean machine, without any visual studio user logged in on visual studio, IMPORTANT: also remove your user from windows credentials.
tf.exe workspaces /computer:mycomputer
This modal pops up prompting for credentials, but I need something to be run in a command window without user interference, so checking help I see that you could send /login:user,password
Then, again let's try with that in the command:
tf.exe workspaces /computer:mycomputer /login:myuser#outlook.com,MyPassword
And now, I get the following exception:
TF30063: You are not authorized to access xxx
BUT, and for the last, if I login on that popup (which I don't want to do because it will be a remote build service) suddenly all commands works fine.
What is the point of having /login command if is not useful here? is there a way to perform this login without prompt?
Thanks for the help!
It seems you are using VSTS, not on-premises TFS. Usually /login option can be used on on-premises TFS, we use the /login option to specify the Team Foundation Server user account to run a command.
If you want to use on VSTS, you need to get a OAuth token, and specify /loginType:OAuth. The command line is:
tf workspaces /collection:https://xxxx.visualstudio.com /loginType:OAuth /login:.,[OAuth token]
Add a screenshot:
I know it's been very long since this thread is opened but I recently experienced the same issue and resolved it by following the below steps. This maybe helpful for people who will get stuck with this issue in future...
Yes, I have faced the same issue and was able to resolve the issue finally :)
The problem is that tf.exe command with the switch "/login:username,password" works as expected with the onprem versions, however you have to use OAuth for saas version. Please find the below example command for saas version for your reference.
tf workspaces /collection:https://dev.azure.com/OrganizationName /loginType:OAuth /login:.,OAuthtoken
To generate the OAuth token you should be using the following article as a reference.

Hope this helps someone at some point of time :)
I start recently to learn the command-prompt commands.I started with some basic commands:dir,cd,mkdir and move.I tried to move a directory from c:/users/user/documents/ called P1.I wanted to move the respective directory(P1)in d:(root directory).But I keep recevieng the "Acces denied" notification, although I'm using the cmd in Administrator mode. There're no relevant tutorials on youtube or topics discussing a solution for this.Can someone help me with that ? I don't what to use other scripts for solving my problem,I need a solution that will solve these problem on any windows machine(starting from 7) if it's needed. I also disabled UAC, but had no effect.
I am trying to uninstall a recently installed service, I am running this in command line:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>installutil.exe /u "C:\inetpub\www
root\xxx\xxx\xxx.exe"
But I am getting this:
The uninstall has completed.
An exception occurred while uninstalling. This exception will be ignored and the
uninstall will continue. However, the application might not be fully uninstalle
d after the uninstall is complete.
And this:
Removing EventLog source xxx.
An exception occurred during the uninstallation of the System.Diagnostics.EventL
ogInstaller installer.
System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.
An exception occurred while uninstalling. This exception will be ignored and the
uninstall will continue. However, the application might not be fully uninstalle
d after the uninstall is complete.
I have no idea where to begin and I really need to uninstall these so any help is appreciated
I was facing exact same issue.
The issue is resolved by opening the Command Prompt as Administrator.
My guess is that you are probably trying to remove a service using a user account which does not have sufficient rights. Specifically, the issue in this case is the removal of some EventLog registry keys during Uninstall.
This may also occur when you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges yet did not run the Command Prompt in 'Administrator Mode'.
One way to fix this is to make sure that you are running the Command Prompt in Administrator mode. (Right-click > Run as Administrator)
I have also encountered some cases where this method still fails to solve the SecurityException problem due to some registry keys not having 'Full Control' permissions for Administrator accounts.
The following keys should have 'Full Control' set for Administrators in order for the service to be able to write to the EventLog:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application
This may be done by:
Invoking the Windows Registry Editor
Run [Win + R]
Type 'regedit'
OK
Navigate a path listed about
Right click on the desired path
Make sure that both Read and Full Control permission checkboxes are ticked for Administrators
Click Apply and OK
Repeat the same process for the other path
