Why i am getting this error while running the PowerShell script via Intune on devices?
I am trying to deploy an agent on devices via PowerShell script which has https://cdn.xxx.xxxx domain which will download the agent on devices and install on the devices but its not working as expected.
What could be reason that its not deploying from Intune?
See below error:
[PowerShell] Fail, the details are {"Version":1,"SigningCode":649,"EncryptionCode":633,"SigningMsg":"(Success) AccountId:22c338ff-3d65-4be1-a208-xxxxxxxxxdcf,PolicyId:ffb27f60-295a-47fb-9089-xxxxxxxxxx,Type:1,Enforce: Enforcement2. OSVersion:10.0.19045,AgentVersion:1.69.111.0. ","EncryptMsg":"run in legacy mode","ExecutionMsg":"Powershell execution has exceeded defined timeout."}
The issue could be with permissions or restrictions on the outbound traffic. Why not download the agent and deploy that instead? Is the agent specific to each individual machine?

Hi there, we can see that you are getting
ExecutionMsg":"Powershell execution has exceeded defined timeout."}.
This is the message indicating the reason for the failure, which is that "Powershell execution has exceeded defined timeout." This suggests that the PowerShell script or operation took longer to execute than the defined timeout period.
If you have a specified timeout that is shorter than the time it takes for the script to fully execute, or have any conflicting policies it will cause this error.

I realize this is a few months old but this error message with the PowerShell execution exceeding defined timeout period has just started happening on my newly imaged machines and as such we are having to manually install many things in order to get these laptops deployed quickly. But MS case pointed out it was this error that was causing the really slow deployments of applications (like days before company portal gets pushed down). they said it was outside of the oringal ticket scope as we use Patch My PC. But after opening a ticket with Patch My PC and them saying everything is good on their end I am not left not sure why were are getting these.
