Intermittent "Power Shell Script failed to run" after installing SQL MP 6.5.4.0

We recently installed the SQL MP. One thing I am struggling with is this "Power Shell Script failed to run" that occasionally comes up, but, not always on the same server, and not always at the same time.
It says it ran past the configured timeout of 300 seconds.
The post that seemed to have me on the right track was
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c539a55d-dd48-438f-b7d5-06ed2cecf6e9/powershell-script-failed-to-run-alerts-from-sql-management-pack-6410?forum=operationsmanagergeneral
However, even after getting one of the several scripts that have been generating the error, out of the extract management pack, it has parameters that need to be fed to it that I have no idea what they are....
Example. ActiveRequestsDataSource.ps1 requires $computername, $connectionstring, $tcpport, $sql_wmi_namespace, and $servicename.
The computername is easy enough... so is tcpport. but, the others... not so much.
I am fairly certain I will be able to run these manually, if I just knew the parameters... I am also fairly certain we are getting these because at the time of the check, resources on that server are tied up for one reason or another.
Can someone please help? This is killing me.

Hi,
As this issue happens after you installing SQL MP, so from my point of view, it seems like caused by the runas account for the SQL MP is not configured well, I would like to suggest you follow the article below to configure runas account for the management
pack:

Power shell script failed to run - reasons for it and some background?

Hi there
I have been receiving some alerts with high repeat count that Powershell script failed to run.
All of them are coming from one server and all of them are related to SQL2012 installation. The following scripts generate alerts:
CPUUsagePercentDataSource.ps1
StolenServerMemory2012.ps1
DBDiskLatencyDataSource.ps1
I am quite new to SCOM and still trying to find my way around conveniently - I would appreciate your help if you could explain me one thing: are these scripts executed locally or through remote PSSession to the target? The point is I couldn't find any of
these scripts on my server to re-run them (and possibly catch exceptions).
The repeat count for past two months is quite high, for 8 alerts between 25 / 80.
Thanks in advance!

The agent downloads the script and it is run locally on the agent machine, in your case the SQL Server. Usually most of these type scripts are held in the Agent folder under scritp/downloads, (sorry dont have the full path in front of me or I would give
it to you).
These errors are probably due to the fact that SQL 2012 does not give any rights to the Local System Account which is the context in which the SCOM agent runs scripts as, and is unable to access SQL information due to this fact. The easiest way to fix this
is to setup a run as account, which would be an account on your domain that has local admin access to the SQL box and has SA rights to the instance of SqL running on that box. See the following blog posts on how to fix this.

I'm at a bit of a loss to troubleshoot this error. I cannot find the "GetMGAlertsCount.ps1" script to execute manually and don't have much else I can find to troubleshoot.
Thanks for your help!

1) Please check Event Log on the management server and see if there are any related errors.
Nothing
interesting found
2) On the management server, please ensure the following key exists:
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\System Center Operations Manager\12\Setup\Powershell\V2
Two entries found underneath this key;
(Default) (value not set)
InstallDirectory C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Powershell\
3) Action Account has access to the resources used by the PowerShell script.
is LocalSystem
4) Make sure that the computer is not over utilized.
No indication of overutilization
Thank you for the suggestions! Do you know of anything else to check?

Power Shell Script failed to run

Hi
I think this alert is due to a faulty management pack, specifically in the module mentioned. I'm trying to investigate further. We have this on multiple
servers and across different roles.
How do I get access to this script so I can find out what it is timing out on? Where's the output of this script kept?
I'm still new to SCOM2012 and think while its and improvement its still got bugs left over from 2007.
Alert description: Forced to terminate the following PowerShell script because it ran past the configured timeout 300 seconds.
Script Name: CheckMaxConcurrentAPI.ps1

This workflow came from Windows Server 2008 Max Concurrent API Monitor.
The most likey cause of tmeout is due to permission issue.

Unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1

I am unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1. Log message is as follows:
Attempting to load library 'xplog70.dll' into memory. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Failed to verify Authenticode signature on DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\xplog70.dll'.
Error: 17750, Severity: 16, State: 0.
Could not load the DLL xplog70.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: (null).

Hi JFriedley,
According to your error message, there might three reasons for this issue.
xplog70.dll is corrupt, you need to check if you have any SQL Server running on same file version and same production
edition. If xplog70.dll is corrupt, you can copy it from the new server where agent is running fine to your problematic server.
Native client not installed properly. If you try applying any latest Service Pack or Cumulative Update then check if the SQL Server Agent can start, if that also doesn’t solve issue then try to reinstalling SQL Server Native client from SQL Server setup
files.
There is a similar issue about error 17750, you can review the following article.

Some applets fail to run after installing jre 1.5/5.0

Hi,
I have a big problem. After installing java runtime environment 5.0 / 1.5, some java applets from sites no longer work. I can view certain java applets, but strangely, some applets do not work. For example, when I try to log into the Hushmail account <www.hushmail.com>, the applet fails to load properly. I enabled tracing and logging and this is the output from the console:

Strangely, there is a message "JSS package is not found" from the console output above. What is this error and how do I rectify the problem so that I can view all applets without any problems?
This is my system configuration:

Java Runtime Environment 1.5
Mozilla 1.7.3

Probably due to Mozilla configuration, see this search:

Hi,
no I don't have PERL5LIB environment set to some value for root.
I added the path in the root.sh file to the system perl-5.8.8 include file and change the perlbin to use the system /usr/bin/perl executable and then the root.sh file did run and finished succesfully.
However other utilities have the same problems . like running asmcmd.
Do you have any idea how to fix it globally?
Thanks

SCOM 2012 SP1 - PowerShell Script failed to run - 3 alerts appear after every reboot of the SCOM Server

Brand new SCOM 2012 SP1 install with Update Rollup 1 applied
Single server, local SQL install, SQL Server 2012 SP1
Hyper-V VM running on Server 2012. VM has 8GB Ram, single vCPU
Going through initial management pack importing and configuration, at this point I have the Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2012 MP's installed.
See screenshot
http://i.imgur.com/l0Molh1.png
I am getting the following alerts in my SCOM console and cannot find a resolution to fix the issue. I don't want to set an override, as an override will prevent the PowerShell alert in other instances, where I might want to receive an alert.
Looking at the alert description, it states "The Data Access service is either not running or not yet initialized"
The SCOM Console launches and responds fine, and I get no other errors. I check the Data Access service and it is online. I have left the system alone for a couple of hours and no other errors. I then closed those alerts and restarted the
server, and they came right back in, so I know that this is something that is happening at either server startup of during the start of the SCOM services.
Is it possible that SCOM is trying to execute these scripts and the Data Access service has not come online yet?
Has anyone else come across this before?

Please try the method in the following thread:
Note: As there is operations related to Registry, please perform a backup before doing this.

SQL MP script failed to run

Hi! I have installed the SQL MP 6.5.1.0 for SQL2005,SQL2008,SQL2012 and SQL2014. I know that I need to use one SQL RunAsAccount and add that account in the SQL RunAsProfiles to have the correct access to run the SCOM SQL scripts and get the correct
monitoring. We have give this SQL RunAsAccount the "Local Administrator" and "sysadmin" rights on all instances through a group. This SQL servers also use UAC, then we tested to add this SQL RunAsAccount directly with sysadmin
rights on one SQL servers instances instead through a group. But still the same problem... I haven't test the new SQL MP version 6.5.4.0 yet and I know that there is one fix for "Fixed
Timeout error in CPU utilization monitoring scenario"
The SQL RunAsAccount use "More Secure" and we are running the SQL RunAsProfiles target type against a Group with "Windows Computers" for all the SQL servers that we want to run this RunAsAccount against. We have the same problem
when we tested to change the target type to "SQL Computers"
At most of our customer it works fine but at one customer we still get all this SQL monitor related errors:
Power Shell Script failed to run (timeout 200 sec)
        - scriptname=CPUUsagePercentDataSource.ps1
        - workflow=Microsoft.SQLServer.2008DBEngine.ThreadsCountMonitor

       - command=GetSQL2012DBFreeSpace.vbs
Operations Manager failed to run a WMI Query
         - workflow=Microsoft.SQLServer.2012.Database.ServiceMonitor
Someone with any idea what's the problem can be?

Hi,
>At most of our customer it works fine but at one customer we still get all this SQL monitor related errors
Do you mean only one SQL server has this error message poped out? If that is the case, then you may check whether the runas account configured has proper permissions on that server. You may add the account to local admin group.

Trying to run program off network location using GPO with Power shell script.

Hello All,
Not much of a script writer. I am giving it a shot. My issue is that I need to run a application update across our network and I am trying to do it with as little hands on as possible. So I was planning to push a GPO with a power shell script in it
to run the program with elevated privileges.
Little background:
We are running on a domain and end users do not have admin rights.
The application is stored on a share on our network that is open to all domain users.
The installer user name and password is a temp one and will only be valid for the 30 min window when everyone logs in at the beginning of the day.
So this is what I have so far.
$username = "USER"
$password = "PASSWORD"
$credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDirectory \\Server\Folder\Folder1\Folder2\filder3\PSQLv11sp3_x32\
But for some reason I keep getting :
Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At line:10 char:1

Hi jdfmonkey,
Has anyone provided an answer to your original question? I am trying to use Start-Process to launch a process using another logged in user's credentials, and am not able to get it working:
$cred=Get-Credential
start-process Process.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts-Credential$cred
I get the same error that you mentioned:
start-process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At C:\Scripts\Process.ps1:2 char:1
+ start-process Process.exe -WorkingDirectory C:\Scripts -Credential ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
When I leave off the credentials:
start-processProcess.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts
It works correctly. Does anyone have a solution to make this work correctly?
Please ask your own question. You issue is nothing like the current thread. You clearly are using a user account that has no access to the folder. It is a permissions issue. It is not a scripting issue.
If you need further help please start your own question.

HOW TO RUN POWER SHELL SCRIPT UNDER SAFE MODE

Hi CHELLAPPA,
Based on my research, we can use powershell in safe mode, and I also tested on server 2012 R2:
You can also open cmd and type "powershell" to use powershell script.

Power shell script to run a Resuable workflow.

Hi,
We came across a scenario where we want to run a resuable workflow on all List items in a list. I am not sure if this can be acheived through power shell. Can any one please help me to run reusable workflows through power shell script on list items.
Thanks,
Sandy

Hello,
Recently i executed below script for my VS workflow on list items, you can also try same on reusable WF.
Basically you need to use "WorkFlowManager" and "WorkFlowAssociations " to find WF on list and then execute it.

IIS Issue:when trying to download code from AWS S3 and deploy in IIS server using Power Shell script while Windows startup Default Application pool is not started.

Hi,
I am trying to launch Amazon EC2 windows server 2008 R2 instance using AWS Auto Scaling feature. I have used cusmized AMI in Autoscaling Launch configuration to launch an instance.I have placed Power Shell script in AMI.
The responsibility of script is to download code from AWS S3 and deploy in IIS server while windows startup first time.
When i check status, IIS is started succesfully. But default Application pool is not started.
To resolve this issue i have written one scheduled script. It helps to start the application pool if any application pool is in stopped state.
After this Application pool is started but i am not able to communicate with IIS server through browser.
Please help any one to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance
