Unable to execute powershell commands inside ARS scripts

Hello,

I'm having issues with some powershell commands inside ARS script: I'm experiencing a very weird thing where my code doesn't get executed despite the debug log doesn't shows any error.

I'm attaching both my script and the debug log; i've also semplified the code so that just the essentials commands are left. The script basically does 3 things:

1. creates a local folder on a fixed path on the specified server
2. shares this folder on the root of the server
3. assigns the share to the newly created users.

function onPostCreate($Request) {

	$username = $Request.get("samaccountname")
	$server = $Request.get("edsva-servers")
	
	if (!$server) { 
		$server = 'S00V09951880'
	}
	
	$sharepath = '\\' + $server
	$localpath = 'D:\Users'
	
	# crea NT folder in path fisico
	New-Item -Name $username -ItemType Directory -Path $localpath
	
	# crea share
	net share "$username=$localpath\$username" "/GRANT:$username,CHANGE" "/GRANT:ITA\ITA data Manager,FULL"
	
	# assegna all'utente
	Set-QADUser $UserName -HomeDirectory "$sharepath\$username" -HomeDrive U: -proxy

}

WARNING: The names of some imported commands from the module 'ActiveRolesManagementShell' include unapproved verbs that might make them less discoverable. To find the commands with unapproved verbs, run the Import-Module command again with the Verbose parameter. For a list of approved verbs, type Get-Verb.

For an unknown reason task 2 and 3 are not completed even though from the debug log it seems that they have been executed.

The weirdest thing is that, the same exact code, is working like a charm inside my lab, but not at customer site.

Could you provide some enlightenment?

Thank you in advance,
Andrea

  • The AR 7.0 console (on the aforementioned workstations) is able to successfully connect to the AR 7.0 service (that I have just enabled in order to test). I think we have good connectivity. That said, the 'ActiveRolesManagementShell' is its own entity and can exist without ARS or AR at all so not sure where the port fits in here, esp. since it's the ARS 6.9 that it can no longer Connect-QADService. But I thank you for your interest and suggestions! I don't know that I'll be able to test any more today, but will review any future advice from everyone.

    On a final note, what/where is the latest 'ActiveRolesManagementShell' just to be sure we are using it. Thanks again.
