Error with SMLets in an Orchestrator called PowerShell Scripts

Hi!
This is likely so simple I am overlooking the problem but...
I have a "Run .Net Script" activity in an Orchestrator 2012 SP1 Runbook. It calls SMLets. The issue is it runs in the PowerShell ISE on the Runbook server without issue. It runs in the Runbook Tester just fine. But if I
call the runbook with the PowerShell script, it errors out on the first call the a SMLets provide cmdlet.
A Few Detail:
We loaded the latest SMLets from CodePlex. We can use the cmdlets in both the 32-bit and 64-bit environments.
The very first line of the PowerShell script is: Import-Module SMLets
The first SM cmdlet is: $class = Get-SCSMClass System.WorkItem.Activity.ReviewActivity$
The Runbook Containing the PowerShell Script:
And lastly, the Event of the error thrown:
In trying to make this work we have tried to run the script remotely on the SCSM server (New-PSSession and Invoke-Command). Failures due to rights on the SCSM server.
My opinion is the issue is a rights issue but we cannot find the difference between any of the accounts testing/debugging and the Orchestrator Runbook Service account. I can run the PowerShell and the Runbook Tester when logged on as the
Orchestrator Runbook Service account. It works until I have to call the runbook with the PowerShell Activity. It just like my Account. We've even set the account on the security tab of the Invoke Runbook Activity.
Is there something I've overlooked? Something in the install of the SMLets, maybe? A clue? Help?
If nothing else, thank you for letting me voice my issue onto the 'Net. Maybe someone else has been down this road and can tell me where the off-ramp is. ;-)

Hi,
also make sure that your PS scriptruns with Windows PowerShell (x86) (32bit)

Problem with a package that calls powershell script

The long story short: I'm trying to schedule a SSIS package, with SQL Server Agent, that runs a powershell script/command via a proxy account. The problem seems to be that proxy account didn't have the required permissions to run a .ps1 script, so I've
changed the execution policy to "Unrestricted" of everything that could be changed (from ps command prompt):
Scope ExecutionPolicy
MachinePolicy Unrestricted
UserPolicy Unrestricted
Process Undefined
CurrentUser Unrestricted
LocalMachine Unrestricted
So far, so good! But when I try to execute the SSIS package that calls the powershell script like this:
powershell.exe -file D:\script.ps1 -FileName testme
I get the error:
AuthorizationManager check failed.
+ CategoryInfo : SecurityError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecord
Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess
And when I try something more simple like:
powershell.exe -Command &{Get-ExecutionPolicy}
I get this:
Get-ExecutionPolicy : Access denied At line:1 char:3
+ &{Get-ExecutionPolicy}
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ExecutionPolicy], Managem
entException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Management.ManagementException,Microsoft.
PowerShell.Commands.GetExecutionPolicyCommand
It's worth mentioning that I can call the regular cmdlets: dir; get-content, whoami, so powershell.exe is working fine! Anyone with an idea what's going on here?

Check to make sure Windows Management Instrumentation service (WMI) is Enabled and running. If it’s disabled, try enabling it and starting it to see if that clears the error.
If all else fails, go to the path noted in the error and delete the PowerShell profile file.

Calling powershell script from a batch file

Hello All,
I have a batch script that calls a powershell script. Before calling the script I set the execution policy to unrestricted, but when it gets to the line that calls the batch script i still get the confirmation in the command window: "Do you want to
perform this operation" I then have to press Y for the PS script to run and then my batch script finishes.
Does anyone know the setting I need to change in order to suppress the confirmation?
Note: this is Windows 8, see code below
set THIS_DIR=%~dp0
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
powershell %THIS_DIR%MyScript.ps1 "param1"

I may sound like a jerk but you really want to look at PowerShell.exe /?

-PSConsoleFile
    Loads the specified Windows PowerShell console file. To create a console
    file, use Export-Console in Windows PowerShell.
-Version
    Starts the specified version of Windows PowerShell.
    Enter a version number with the parameter, such as "-version 2.0".
-NoLogo
    Hides the copyright banner at startup.
-NoExit
    Does not exit after running startup commands.
-Sta
    Starts the shell using a single-threaded apartment.
    Single-threaded apartment (STA) is the default.
-Mta
    Start the shell using a multithreaded apartment.
-NoProfile
    Does not load the Windows PowerShell profile.
-NonInteractive
    Does not present an interactive prompt to the user.
-InputFormat
    Describes the format of data sent to Windows PowerShell. Valid values are
    "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
-OutputFormat
    Determines how output from Windows PowerShell is formatted. Valid values
    are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
-WindowStyle
    Sets the window style to Normal, Minimized, Maximized or Hidden.
-EncodedCommand
    Accepts a base-64-encoded string version of a command. Use this parameter
    to submit commands to Windows PowerShell that require complex quotation
    marks or curly braces.
-File
    Runs the specified script in the local scope ("dot-sourced"), so that the
    functions and variables that the script creates are available in the
    current session. Enter the script file path and any parameters.
    File must be the last parameter in the command, because all characters
    typed after the File parameter name are interpreted
    as the script file path followed by the script parameters.
-ExecutionPolicy
    Sets the default execution policy for the current session and saves it
    in the $env:PSExecutionPolicyPreference environment variable.
    This parameter does not change the Windows PowerShell execution policy
    that is set in the registry.
-Command
    Executes the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were
    typed at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, and then exits, unless
    NoExit is specified. The value of Command can be "-", a string. or a
    script block.
    If the value of Command is "-", the command text is read from standard
    input.
    If the value of Command is a script block, the script block must be enclosed
    in braces ({}). You can specify a script block only when running PowerShell.exe
    in Windows PowerShell. The results of the script block are returned to the
    parent shell as deserialized XML objects, not live objects.
    If the value of Command is a string, Command must be the last parameter
    in the command , because any characters typed after the command are
    interpreted as the command arguments.
    To write a string that runs a Windows PowerShell command, use the format:
        "& {<command>}"
    where the quotation marks indicate a string and the invoke operator (&)
    causes the command to be executed.
-Help, -?, /?
    Shows this message. If you are typing a PowerShell.exe command in Windows
    PowerShell, prepend the command parameters with a hyphen (-), not a forward
    slash (/). You can use either a hyphen or forward slash in Cmd.exe.
Hope that helps! Jason

Issue with variables and white space in powershell script that calls a command line command

Guys,
I have a question regarding this script. Each time I run it, it creates the share, but with a space after it. Also I need help figuring out how to put in the variable for the folder path.
Below is the code
$Users=Import-Csv C:\users2.csv
foreach($User in $Users){
$User.SNCORP
$User.HPB
$User
cmd /c "net share "$User.SNCORP"=D:\Users\"$User.HPB" /grant:Everyone,FULL"
The csv file looks like this
HPB,SNCORP
ccarter,carterch$
This is my output in powershell
PS C:\> .\shareflip.ps1
carterch$
ccarter
HPB SNCORP
ccarter carterch$
The syntax of this command is:
NET SHARE
sharename
sharename=drive:path [/GRANT:user,[READ | CHANGE | FULL]]
[/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
[/REMARK:"text"]
[/CACHE:Manual | Documents| Programs | BranchCache | None]
sharename [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
[/REMARK:"text"]
[/CACHE:Manual | Documents | Programs | BranchCache | None]
{sharename | devicename | drive:path} /DELETE
sharename \\computername /DELETE
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Christopher

There is no need to use cmd /c. You should be able to use:
net share "$($User.SNCORP)=D:\Users\$($User.HPB)" "/grant:Everyone,Full"
Use showargs.exe (from the article) at the beginning of this line to see the command line PowerShell is actually running (very useful for troubleshooting).

Calling Powershell Script from a vRA Blueprint

Hi all,
Need your help! I have a use case where I need to provide user a dropdown list in the Blueprint so that they can select a project number. The project numbers are dynamic and can be exported to a .csv file and I can then write a PS script to capture that. I’m just not sure on how to present that data in the vRA Blueprint as the list is always changing? Is there a way to create a custom Control Type in Property Dictionary say “DropDownListFromPowerShell” OR any other solution to address this use case? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tony

you cant do that in IaaS. you would need to use ASD to do those custom server side look ups in your forms.

Error when calling powershell from Sun IDM

Hello Experts,
In our environment we have a powershell script which takes command-line arguments as input and creates mailbox. To create a mailbox for newly on-boarded user we just need to call this script and pass the args. When i run the script from Gateway server (by physically logging into the server) it works as expected but when i call the same script from Sun IDM (using resource actions) I'm getting the following error,
The type initializer for 'InstanceContext' threw an exception
any idea to fix or troubleshoot this?
We are using Sun IDM 6.0 SP1 and exchange 2007.

Which version of the Gateway?
Are you calling the script with afterAction scriptcalls?
Adapter or connector?
I do know that the powershellcalls are supposed to have two restrictions which are truly hampering...
1.0 (which means not remote calls?) and 32 bits.
If you have any insights, please share :D
I will start coding agains this next week I think, so I guess I will see all problems then :D

User authentication error with Proxy Java Calling web Service in XI

Hello,
I have deploy a Web Service in SAP XI 3.0. within a SOAP sender adapter.
I have also created the Proxy Java Class to access the webservice in the Developer Studio and a Plain Java Class (only with a method main) which uses the proxy classes to consume the web service.
But when I launch the program a get the next error message:
java.rmi.RemoteException: Service call exception; nested exception is:
     com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized.
     at com.everis.serviciosweb.xi.MI_OUT_STATUSBindingStub.MI_OUT_STATUS(MI_OUT_STATUSBindingStub.java:73)
     at com.everis.llamadas.invocacionWSStatus.main(invocacionWSStatus.java:76)
Caused by: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized.
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.wsdl2java.soapbinding.MimeHttpBinding.handleResponseMessage
Where MI_OUT_STATUSBindingStub is my Stub Class.
I have tried to set USERNAME_PROPERTY and PASSWORD_PROPERTY at runtime from my Stub class to the values that I use to access SAP XI (Integration Repository & Integration Directory) but it still doesn't´t work.
Have anyone a solution?
Thanks.

Hi,
    finally I have fixed it.
The root of the problem was on the way that I proceed with the generation of wsdl in Integration Directory.
The second step in the wizard for generation of wsdl ask for a url to call the web service and gives you an option to complete the url automatic. I have use this option and it have proposed my an url of type http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?entry=.......
But the SOAP adapter call is in the form http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<business service>:<channel>
So using this type of url in the generation of wsld solves all the problems.
Regards,
Antonio.

Execute C# in PowerShell: errors with " using System.XML "

Hi , I'm trying to execute C# code in Power Shell 2.0 .
My problem is for the references at the beginning of the code:
$code = @"
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
   public class Program
        static void Main()
        { /* the code wich works*/
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $code -Language "CSharpVersion3"
Powershell give me an error saying that " The type or namespace Linq doesn't exist" , and the same for Xml. I have Visual studio express 2013 .
How can add or import correctly those references? or what is my error?

Hi Rebegg,
As this issue is related to Visual Studio, I suggest you create a new thread on Visual Studio forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.
Visual Studio forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=visualstudio
In addition, about this issue, you have to add your assemblies to your PowerShellsession before you can reference them to you C# Code, you can use the script like:
$Assem = (
...add referenced assemblies here...
$Source = @"
...add C# source code here...
Add-Type -ReferencedAssemblies $Assem -TypeDefinition $Source -Language CSharp
Here are some similar posts for your reference:

Help using SMLets in workflow powershell script

Hello,
I have written a powershell script in a workflow to help me perform a process. The idea is this: We have an extended Incident class and a custom RMA class, users will sometimes need to launch an RMA from an incident, but never an incident from an RMA or
an RMA by itself. Therefore, source cardinality I assume is 1 and target cardinality is 2 (unlimited). The RMA NEEDS TO BE ASSOCIATED (related) to the ID # of the Incident Request. So, if you click on the Incident and go to related items, you should see the
RMA id # there, and when you go to the related items of the RMA, you should see the appropriate IR # there. The workflow is launched by trigger: when an object of the RMA class is created.
The workflow contains the following powershell script:
# Load the SMlets module
Import-Module SMlets
# Get Date
$date = ((Get-Date).AddDays(-1));
# Set ClassName
$ClassName = Get-SCSMClass -Name Flexity.RMA.Class;
# Get the RMA Class
$RMAClass = Get-SCSMObject -Class $ClassName | where{$_.CreatedDate -gt $date};
# Set DisplayName, Title and Description to RMAx
foreach ($RMA in $RMAClass)
{$RMANumber = $RMA.RMA_ID; $RMA | Set-SCSMObject -PropertyHashtable @{"DisplayName" = $RMANumber; “Title” = $RMANumber; ”Description” = $RMANumber;
So I can get the RMA objects created, and properly name them so they show up as RMA{#} but still have not figured out how to get the parent incident and relate it to the appropriate RMA #... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

@Anders
For Service Manager 2010, numbers larger than 1 in a cardinality statement are evaluated as “unlimited” when an MP is imported into Service Manager. This means that MaxCardenality=“2” is the same as MaxCardenality=“2147483647”. Has this changed from 2010
to 2012?
@Thomas
You are indeed correct but I didn't receive any response in there from my last post so I thought it was dead by now. I have also progressed MUCH further from when I had posted that question, so I figured I should just make it a new topic as the topic of
the question has become much more specific. I will link this post in there to be used as reference.
I actually ended up figuring this out, let me know what you guys think and if it can be optimized in any way, or if you see any error checking I should add in somewhere.
Thank you all for your help, especially with your detailed responses Thomas
My original idea was to have a workflow and that workflow got launched when an object of the RMA class was created, regardless of HOW it was launched through console task or custom control or whatever. However, I ended up using a console task, which when clicked
launches my script :)
Code:
# Creates a variable called IncidentID and points Incident # to it for use within the script
Param([string]$IncidentID)
# Load the SMlets module
Import-Module SMlets
# Get the Incident Class
$IncClass = Get-SCSMClass -Name System.WorkItem.Incident$
# Get the RMA Class
$RMAClass = Get-SCSMClass -Name flexity.RMA.class
# Build the Filter String
$FilterStr = "ID -eq " + $IncidentID
# Find the Incident we need to link to an RMA
$Inc = Get-SCSMObject -Class $IncClass -Filter $FilterStr
$RMAIncText = ["Linked to Incident " + $Inc.ID + ""]
$RMADescription = $RMAIncText
New-SCSMObject -Class $RMAClass -PropertyHashtable (@{Title = $Inc.Title; Description = $RMADescription})
# Find the new RMA to be linked
$FilterStr = "Description -eq '$RMADescription'"
$RMA = Get-SCSMObject -Class $RMAClass -Filter $FilterStr
#Set RMA Number Variable
$RMANumber = $RMA.RMA_ID;
#Clean up DisplayName, Title and Description
$RMA | Set-SCSMObject -PropertyHashtable @{"DisplayName" = $RMANumber; "Title" = $RMANumber; "Description" = $RMANumber; }
# Create the relationship between the two items
$RWIClass = Get-SCSMRelationshipClass -Name System.WorkItemRelatesToWorkItem$
New-SCSMRelationshipObject -Relationship $RWIClass -Source $Inc -Target $RMA -Bulk
New-SCSMRelationshipObject -Relationship $RWIClass -Source $RMA -Target $Inc -Bulk
# Unload the SMlets module
Remove-Module SMlets

Powershell script monitor with encrypted password

I have created a powershell script based monitor in my management pack and everything is ok but I can't get my credentials work inside the script. I want to open pssession to another computer with my credentials. I have triple checked that my pssession is
working because I can access it from powershell console.
This works perfectly at local server from PSconsole:
$EncryptedPassword ="01000000d08c9ddf0115d1118c7a00c04fc297eb01000000534b2....etc...etc..."
$pw = convertto-securestring -String $EncryptedPassword
$cred = new-object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist "MyDOMAIN\MyACCOUNT",$pw
$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName "MyServer" -Port MyPort -Credential $cred
But when I run the same lines inside my management pack the convertto-securestring
does nothing, it just wont convert the encrypted password to secure string!
I have tried this plain text method and it works
inside my management pack, but I don't want to use it because you can see the password in plain text:
ConvertTo-SecureString -String "myPlainTextPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
This is the $error variable, so it's basically says that I don't have anything in the password secure string variable because the convertion did not work for some reason:
The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try running the command again. Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Credential'. PromptForCredential Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s):
"Cannot process argument because the value of argument "password" is null. Change the value of argument "password" to a non-null value." The system cannot find the file specified. Exception calling "SecureStringToBSTR"
with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: s" The system cannot find the file specified. Exception calling "SecureStringToBSTR" with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: s"
The system cannot find the file specified.
So is there some known issue with SCOM Agent / management pack when you are dealing with convertto-securestring
function with encrypted passwords?
I used these methods to encrypt the password: Technet article about encryption

I got it to work!

anyway you can disable this rule/monitor as no control from monitoring solution in that case. Or try to rewrite the same monitor...
The problem in your case is when function tries to get Max Server Memory MB by connecting to master DB, but you can replace it with performance counter like Target Server Memory (KB)...
just see the function main in StolenServerMemory2008.ps1 and what you need to replace

Powershell script error adding integers

Hi All, I am trying to add integers but the script is not running. I am using variable "a" with the same line of thinking as
$arg in $args
$a in $as
# create a script thats adds numbers using foreach
# put an if statement if the numbers are not valid
My script begins here:
   set-psdebug -strict
    $total = 0
foreach($a in $as)
               if ( $a -as[int] -eq $null)
            { Write-host "this is not a valid number"
                exit 1
      $total += $a
Write-host "The total is $total"
I am calling my script with the following line: .\finalexam\foreachadd.ps1 6 6 i
The error is :
The variable '$as' cannot be retrieved because it has not been set.
At C:\cmd.practise\finalexam\foreachadd.ps1:8 char:15
+ foreach($a in $as)
+               ~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (as:String) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : VariableIsUndefined
Thank-you

You need to go back and study the very initial basics of PowerShell. You are repeatedly guessing wrong and misunderstanding how this works. Without the fundamentals you will be forever lost.
Try to understand why and how the following works. Read the basics of using PowerShell variables and loops.
$as=1,2,'x',4,5,'z'
$total=0
foreach($a in $as){
if($a -as [int]){
        $total+=$a
}else{
        Write-host "$a cannot be converted to a valid integer 32"
Write-host "The total is $total"
You also need to learn how to format your code. Tat would make it easier for you too see your mistakes.
