running powershell script from kbox

Is there a trick to running a powershell script from kbox scripting module? I can get the script to launch powershell.exe, but it never completes. It just shows the powershell.exe process running. I create a shell script and call the powershell script from the batch file that gets created.

Thanks,
Jason

I usually add my powershell scripts as a shell script.

Upload the script as a dependency.

Here's the command line (it'll bypass your scripting policy :) ).
powershell.exe -nologo -executionpolicy bypass -WindowStyle hidden -noprofile -file "script.ps1"

  • Does the "script.ps1" need to have a path to work. I just tried this using an online shell script and it came back with error 193. - GeekSoldier 11 years ago

I'm not quite sure I understand how you've got things setup. You're using the scripting module to create a local powershell script that you then try to launch using the scripting module? The easiest way I can think of to setup a powershell script would be to create the PS script and add it as a dependency file to the KBOX script.

Have you verified that the execution policy of powershell on the target machine is set to "RemoteSigned" or "Unrestricted"? By default powershell will not execute scripts.

Yes, it's unrestricted, however I'm not sure if the script actually does execute, it does cause powershell.exe to execute. I decided to just schedule it from a windows box and it works fine.

I'm trying to get this setup too. I have the PS1 file as a dependency, and the single command in the script was setup to call $(KACE_SYS_DIR)\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe, parameters: -file $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\createDailyChecklist.ps1

The error message that is returned when the kscript is run:
Running as: SYSTEM Error creating process: C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Dell\KACE\\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\277\createDailyChecklist.ps1: (-196608) I was able to run the script using the local system account by following the KACE article on testing scripts under the local systems credentials.

I think this could be a bug in the KBox where it doesn't send a valid path.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to work around this?

Found the problem with my script setup. I added quotes around the script path argument, and that fixed it.
