vCO-Powershell Plugin issue running a command ( getting members of a local admin group on a server)

$

Hi,

 

     Tearing my hair out and looking for a bit of help :-)

 

I've a powershell script for checking memebers of the Local Adminstrators  group on a server, and it works fine in a powershell window.(running it on the Server that is my VCO powershell host, and under the username/account registered with vCO...)  However when I call it from a vCO workflow it fails. 

 

To Track it down I isolated the offending code to this section:

 

I supply $servername as the Server to run the script against.


$group=[ADSI]"WinNT://$servername/Administrators"

$members=@($group.psbase.Invoke("Members"))

$results=$members | foreach{$_.GetType().InvokeMember("Name",'GetProperty',$null,$_,$null)}

 

and the highlighted Line is the specific code that fails.

 

the specific error is :

System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException: Exception calling "Invoke" with "2" argument(s): "The network path was not found.

 

I've noted that if I substitute $servername in the 1st line with "." ( ie run against the local server) It works fine. However, if I either use the $servername var, or just embed a specific servername it fails with the above error.

 

 

Any help appreciated,

 

          Thanks in advance,

 

                    John.
