Hi Elisie,

Powershell is allowed to remote access all the servers of the farm.

I run these command on all servers before running the scripts.

Register-PSSessionConfiguration -Name DelegatedSPAdmin -AccessMode Remote -Force -ShowSecurityDescriptorUI
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role Server –Force
Enable-WSManCredSSP -role Client -DelegateComputer *
Restart-Service WinRM

Set-ExecutionPolicy –ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

i do think the issue with the Version : 0.150 of the script.

Thanks,

Hi @VYAS Anitha (Con) ,

Have you allowed PowerShell remoting on all farm servers according to the reference before running the script? Also please have a check whether you are running CMD with administrator rights. If it is related to the version of the script, I would suggest contacting the author for more help.
