Hello,

I am trying to run a powershell script in MDT, however it is always failing. This script is to remove some defaults windows apps,.
Could someone help me please?

Hi, @Ed7
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

You may try below to bypass the execution policy:

cmd.exe /c  powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file "%SCRIPTROOT%\Windows_Cust.ps1"  

Also, I see you also have a step to run powershell script, have you tried that and what is the result?

If above doesn't help, you may check smsts.log for more details.

Hi @AllenLiu-MSFT

Unfortunatly the issue still remains with this error code.

This script is for removing the default apps, I have tried both the command line and the powershell to run the script and I always get the same error.
.Net Framework and Powershell are enabled in the Features. but no solution.

This is the command line I have in Run Command Line:

cmd.exe /c powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file "%SCRIPTROOT%\Windows_Cust.ps1"

and in the Run PowerShell script I have tried both:

Windows_Cust.ps1

or %SCRIPTROOT%\Windows_Cust.ps1

This is my script
129589-windows-custps1.txt

Not sure what can be the issue.

Hi, @Ed7
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Have we tried to run the script manually, outside the MDT environment, does it work well?
And try to check more details in smsts.log.
You can add SLSHARE in CustomSetting.ini to get the log file, SLSHARE instructs MDT to copy the log files to a server share if something goes wrong during deployment, or when a deployment is successfully completed.

HI @AllenLiu-MSFT

Yes I have run the script in different laptops and it works fine and performs all the desirable actions. Only in the deployment it does not run.
It has been a big headache.
