I have a batch file that contains a few commands to connect with Team Foundation Server 2012 through the command line utility TF.exe.
This batch file exists on our development server, and is designed to essentially "deploy" our website by getting latest from source control
The batch file works fine on the server, but calling the batch file remotely via PSSession causes some strange issues.
I frequently receive the error:
Process is terminated due to StackOverFlowException
Or
Not enough storage available to complete this command...
There is plenty of resources available on the server in terms of available resources. I'm pretty new at powershell...what is it that I'm missing?
EDIT: Here's the command that worked for me:
set-item wsman:localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 2048
Powershell remote sessions have a default memory limit of 150MB. The limits are configured in WinRM.

In my workplace, we administer hospital intensive care PCs (Windows 7 desktop clients) that are meant to be on and running a particular program in near-perpetuity. To that end we've developed a few powershell scripts that run every 5 minutes and alert us whenever the PCs drop off the network or the processes / programs we require crash.
Our program monitoring script relies on the powershell cmdlet "get-process" run remotely by an admin-credentialed account. The script works on all of our PCs except one and we haven't been able to determine what's causing the failure.
At its most basic, the command looks something like
get-process -computername [hostname]
When pointing toward our problem PC we get the error
Get-Process : Couldn't connect to remote machine
Our research indicates that this is likely caused by permissions, firewall, or remote registry service problems. We've triple-checked and on this PC and
the monitoring account has admin privileges, no firewall is active, and remote registry service is on and set to start automatically. The code works when run on the local machine but not when run remotely.
Similar powershell cmdlets run remotely, like "get-service", work with no issues. As noted above "get-process" runs successfully on our other PCs. Any insight into this strange issue would be appreciated.
One thing to note is that the Invoke-Command workaround that has been offered in answer to other, similar questions doesn't work on this PC or any of our others.
Have you tried validating the all RPC services are up?
1.Remote Procedure Call(RPC)
2.Remote Procecure Call(RPC) Locator
3.Remote Registry (You said it's up though)
On Windows Server 2012 Datacenter with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 installed, I want to run a deployment command but for every commands I get this error: "(500) Internal Server Error".
I first run this:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
and it will work fine and when I check it with get-pssnapin and Get-Help *Crm*, every thing is fine and every thing that I need is registered. but when I want to run a cmdlets command like these, I face the error: Get-CrmSetting or Get-CrmCertificate or ...
For example for Get-CrmSetting TraceSettings it give me this error:
How can I solve this problem and error?
Thanks
According to this article, you might want to try:
Get-CrmSetting –SettingType TraceSettings
Here are a couple more items to investigate, from this article:
To use the XRM tooling cmdlets, you need PowerShell version 3.0 or
later. To check the version, open a PowerShell window and run the
following command: $Host
Set the execution policy to run the signed PowerShell scripts. To do
so, open a PowerShell window as an administrator and run the
following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
Verify the (CRMDeploymentServiceAppPool Application Pool identity) has SQL SEVER SysAdmin permission. This is needed to perform any CRM configuration changes and organizational operations.
Note: it does not matter if the account executing the PowerShell is a system admin or SQL server sysadmin because these operations are executed via the deployment web service.
Deployment Web Service (CRMDeploymentServiceAppPool Application Pool identity)
....Sysadmin permission on the instance of SQL Server to be used for the configuration and organization databases.
....
(500) Internal Server Error, refers to a HTTP response status code. This means that the Powershell command is calling a URL and the URL is reporting a error.
You need to know the URL to really find out what the problem is. One way you can get the URL, is downloading Fiddler Classic. Once installed, you have to enable HTTPS decryption.
In my case the URL was...
https://<my-crm-domain>/XrmDeployment/2011/deployment.svc?wsdl
When I ran this URL on the server where CRM is installed, I got an exception stating...
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Crm.Application.Components.Application'
All this meant, I needed to copy a file, Microsoft.Crm.Application.Components.Application.dll, from C:\Program Files\Dynamics 365\CRMWeb\bin into folder C:\Program Files\Dynamics 365\CRMWeb\XRMDeployment\bin.
Once this was done, the URL worked and therefor my PowerShell command as well.
I have a PowerShell script which performs a lot of in-memory data manipulation. It is used in a configuration process I am automating with Ansible Playbooks. When the script is run manually on the server, it finishes successfully, and the correct changes are observed. However, when I run the same script through Ansible, an OutOfMemoryException is thrown by PowerShell.
I've tried increasing PowerShell's allocated memory well beyond the expected size using,
Set-Item vsman:localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB [memsize]
This resulted in the same error. However, if I run the script on the server once before triggering the playbook, it seems to work, until I restart the machine.
For Ansible, my remote connection is configured using WinRM.
If you're running PS3, have you tried this hotfix as suggested in the Ansible Windows docs?
I have set-executionpolicy unrestricted. I was able to run scripts previously. After I got an error running a powershell script, I started getting the following error:
File C:..\test.ps1 cannot be loaded because its operation is blocked by
software restriction policies, such as those created by using Group Policy.
It doesn't matter what is in the script file I am trying to run.
From what I can tell nothing else has changed. I was doing something with a remote powershell session to a remote machine, got an error. Then was unable to run scripts locally unless I run powershell.exe as administrator.
Software Restriction Policies (SRP) have nothing to do with Powershell directly.
Someone has set a restriction on what can be run and/or from where it can be run.
This isn't related to Powershell Execution Policy, Powershell Remoting, nor administrative rights/privileges.
Typically SRP is set through Group Policy and pushed out (I'm guessing you're on a domain).
You could use rsop.msc on your machine to try to determine what the settings are and maybe which policy is applying them.
If you want more information on SRP you should probably post on ServerFault.
I am making my first attempts at using PowerShell remoting features. I've set up the "destination" server using the instructions in the help docs. But when I attempt to start a remote session (by executing an "Enter-PSSession servername1" command), it sits there for a long time, and eventually gives this error:
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if the machine name is valid and is reachable over the network and firewall exception for Windows Remote Management service is enabled. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
I also noticed that while it was sitting there, my computer's performance had degraded. Looking at Task Manager, I see that ekrn.exe, which is the kernel process for Nod32 Antivirus, was using a lot of CPU (~50%, sometimes edging higher). It seems to never stop using the CPU until I kill the process, and I did some testing, and it clearly begins to use all that CPU as soon as I execute that Enter-PSSession command.
I then tried disabling the Nod32 anti-virus, executed the same command, and voilà, it worked, and the remote session started properly.
But obviously disabling my anti-virus isn't a solution. Can anyone suggest a better one?
It turns out I wasn't running the latest version of Nod32. I was running version 3, the I was able to upgrade to version 4, and the problem went away.
