I'm attempting to run the xChrome sample (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/DSC-Resource-Kit-All-c449312d) on an Azure VM and it fails to run. Everything runs and executes, but I receive the error (larger log snippet below):
CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (MSFT_xChrome\MSFT_xChrome:String) [Configuration]
AzureVM is Windows Server 2012 with Powershell Version 5:
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
Major Minor Build Revision
5 0 9883 0
The steps I use to execute are:
Download xChrome extension (from above url) and inflate it into my modules directory
Publish-AzureVMDscConfiguration -ConfigurationPath
C:\Users\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\xChrome\Example\Sample_xChrome.ps1
-Force
Get-AzureVM -ServiceName '' -Name '' |
Set-AzureVMDscExtension -ConfigurationArchive Sample_xChrome.ps1.zip
-ConfigurationName Sample_InstallChromeBrowser -ConfigurationArgument #{Language='en';LocalPath='$env:SystemDrive\Windows\DtlDownloads\GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi'} | Update-AzureVM
**The error snippet:*

I fixed this error by changing how I was importing the module.
Import-DscResource -ModuleName xChrome -Name MSFT_xChrome
The error implies that a module could not be loaded. Can you connect to the VM using remote desktop and check if Get-DscResource -Module xChrome lists the resource correctly

I was going to automate some regular task on client computers using Powershell module. In this way, PSWINDOWSUPDATE is one of bests. But, I receive an error during install that:
PS C:\Users\stackoverflow> install-module -name pswindowsupdate -scope currentuser

running the command in administrative mode and without -scope switch didn't solve the problem.
Edit1: The problem is solved. But there is another problem. When I call import-module pswindowsupdate following error occurs:

I am trying to create a new PowerBI Report using Powershell .
I am running below command :
$destinationReport = New-PowerBIReport -Path $sourcePBIX -Name $datasetName -WorkspaceId $GroupID -ConflictAction CreateOrOverwrite
It runs the command for a while and through error:

The PBIX I am using is of size 200MB so I thought it could be due to time out and I increased the IdleTimeout using the steps in this article How to set Timeout in Powershell .
But this did not worked either .
In the azure devops hosted agent, we do not have the MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Reports package. So we recommend you can add the ps commend:
Install-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Reports -RequiredVersion 1.0.946
Also, you can try to run the commend line on your local machine and if it works well, please install a self-agent in your local machine to try again.

When trying to Register a new PSRepository using the Code below….
Register-PSRepository -Name "PSGallery" –SourceLocation "https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/" -InstallationPolicy Trusted
….it gives me the following error:
FullyQualifiedErrorId : UseDefaultParameterSetOnRegisterPSRepository,Register-PSRepository
I am not able to install the VMWare PowerCLI Module with this command:
Save-module -Name vmware.powercli -path c:\temp
….it gives me this error:
FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoMatchFoundForCriteria,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.SavePackage
Here are the results of a days googling
I'm running
Register-PSRepository
-Name "PSGallery"
–SourceLocation "https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/"
-InstallationPolicy Trusted
(multiline for clarity)
and I kept getting
Register-PSRepository : Use 'Register-PSRepository -Default' to
register the PSGallery repository. At line:1 char:1

I assumed this was to do with proxy settings so I tried all of the various methods of setting the proxy in powershell to no avail.
Finally I ran
Get-PSRepository
and discovered that the repository was already registered, it was just untrusted
So I ran
Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted
The original reason I had for doIng this is because when I run
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force -Scope CurrentUser
I get
Install-PackageProvider : No match was found for the specified search
criteria for the provider 'NuGet'. The package provider requires
'PackageManagement' and 'Provider' tags. Please check if the specified
package has the tags. At line:1 char:1

[Install-PackageProvider], Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoMatchFoundForProvider,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackageProvider
Unfortunately, making the repository trusted did no help with my issue
... and the original reason for doing this was so I could run
Install-Module -Name SqlServer -Force -Verbose -Scope CurrentUser
Which was failing (sorry no error message, it was so long ago)
After all my fiddling however, this statement now works without error.
Not sure if it was all the proxy config, or making NuGet trusted or both
I've been chasing this problem for days. I isolated it to Install-PackageProvider not being able to download:
Microsoft.PackageManagement.NuGetProvider-2.8.5.208.dll
In my case, my company does not allow us to download DLLs from the internet without due process. I engaged due process and got an approved copy of the DLL. Then it needs to be placed here:
$env:ProgramFiles\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies\nuget\2.8.5.208\Microsoft.PackageManagement.NuGetProvider.dll
Note the version becomes a folder and is stripped from the name.
Manually doing so eliminates the need to run Install-PackageProvider. Some articles state that Import-PackageProvider is necessary to get PowerShell to recognise it. But, I did not need to do the Import. Just try Install-Module -Name SqlServer -Force again.

Currently, Set-AzureRmDataFactoryV2 cmdlet is not supported on Linux. AzureRM.NetCore supports following services.
Virtual Machine
App Service (Websites)
SQL Database
Storage
Network
More information please refer to this official document.
If possible, I suggest you could use Azure CLI.
I have solved this issue in my machine by updating Az.DataFactory module.
Install/update latest AzureRM.DataFactoryV2 module.
Restart your powershell.
try the above command.
it will work successfully.
I have a TFS build definition contains a PowerShell Script build step. I would like to run the following command on a remote computer(DEVWS45PC) which should restart the service named StartSeleniumGridHub:
winrm s winrm/config/client '#{TrustedHosts="DEVWS45PC"}'
Restart-Service -InputObject $(Get-Service -Computer DEVWS45PC -Name StartSeleniumGridHub)
This gives me this error:

I can run this script without any problem from any of my computers. Note that 'DEVWS45PC' is truly set as a trusted host on the TFS build agent computer, so it's not the problem.
I have no clue what is the problem. Maybe authentication problems?
You could manually RDP to the remote machine DEVWS45PC with your build service account and run the powershell script.
Most likely lacking of permissions of your build service account(Due to could not find the service). Suggest you add the service account to your local Administrator group on the remote machine DEVWS45PC and try again.
Also make sure you are using the PowerShell on Target Machines task instead of powershell task in the build definition.
