I am trying to validate the local user credential using the below code:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
$DS = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalContext('machine',$ComputerName)
$status=$DS.ValidateCredentials($UserName, $Password)
I am getting the below error:
Exception calling "ValidateCredentials" with "2" argument(s): "The specified network name is no longer available.
"
At line:1 char:1
+ $ds.ValidateCredentials('User','Password')
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PrincipalOperationException
Please help me to fix this out.
Thanks in advance
Note: I am not getting this error in all the machine. Out of 87 machines i am getting this error in 12 machines alone.
Starting 'server' service fixed the issue

I am trying to start the web automation with using Chrome driver and Selenium. But I am getting an error that, web driver was not loaded. Below is my code entered. If someone could help me to correct this and start to automate would be appreciated.
Import-Module 'C:\AHKM\ChromeAutomation\WebDriver.dll'
$WebDriver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver
$WebDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl('www.google.com')
Error is below:

We resolved this issue by supplying the folder where chromedriver.exe is located, e.g.
$WebDriver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver -ArgumentList "C:\TEMP"
PS C:\> $p = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

As Ash already mentioned in comment that local path is not valid and you need to provide the same extension as the image to download. So that you can download the image properly and able to view it.
I was able to download the image using:
$p.DownloadFile("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ec/Soccer_ball.svg","C:\test.svg")

You provided a invalid CertificateFilePath.
It should be Full path to the identity application certificate file generated earlier.
Please check and correct it.
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)

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.
