[SOLVED] Problem executing a PowerShell script using the PowerShell run function

[Albin]

Good morning,
We created a PowerShell script that allows you to modify the print queue of a printer.
here is the script in question

Code: Select all

run(r'powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass ./test.ps1')

test.ps1: contains the PowerShell script

Here is the associated PowerShell script

Code: Select all

$OldServerName = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$NewServerName = "yyyyyyyyyyyy"
#Get existing network printers
$CurrentPrinters = Get-WmiObject Win32_Printer | Where-Object {$_.Network -eq "true"} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name

#Remove existing network printers
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer | Where-Object {$_.Network -eq 'true'} | ForEach-Object {$_.delete()}

#Map the printers from a new server.
$CurrentPrinters | ForEach-Object {
$newprintername = $_.Replace( $OldServerName, $NewServerName )
Add-Printer -ConnectionName $newprintername
}

The script is not working and I would like to know what the problem might be.
Does the PowerShell run function allow you to execute multiple PowerShell command lines?
How can I see the associated errors?
THANKS

Hello Albin,

you can try the command

Code: Select all

run_powershell_from_file("filename.ps1")

Hello Denis,

I tested the command but it still doesn't work.

That's a rather limited amount of information...

[Albin]

The problem I'm encountering is that when I deploy the package containing the script

Code: Select all

run_powershell_from_file("testwapt.ps1")

On one machine I have no error at the Wapt console level but it does not work.
I would like to know what the cause of the problem might be, please. Thank you

Sincerely,

Albin

I also enabled the execution of PowerShell scripts on the affected machine

Hello,

is the script functional outside of WAPT?

[Albin]

Hello Gaetan,

Yes, apart from WAPT the script works perfectly.

Regards,
Albin

Within the package, is it possible to execute each PowerShell command using `run_powershell` instead of a script?
This is to try and locate the problem.

[Albin]

We just executed each command of the script with run_powershell
Here is the code:

Code: Select all

 run_powershell('$OldServerName = "xxxxxxxx"')
 run_powershell('$NewServerName = "yyyyyyyy"')
run_powershell('$CurrentPrinters = Get-WmiObject Win32_Printer | Where-Object {$_.Network -eq "true"} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name')
 run_powershell('-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer | Where-Object {$_.Network -eq "true"} | ForEach-Object {$_.delete()}')
run_powershell('$CurrentPrinters | ForEach-Object { $newprintername = $_.Replace( $OldServerName, $NewServerName ) Add-Printer -ConnectionName $newprintername}')

When I deploy the package to a machine, we get errors in the Wapt console
Here are the errors:
