Change OwnerServiceDnsHostName via PowerShell

Question

Hi Team,

I am getting my task via the following code and its working

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")
$taskName = "Azure VDI Start"

# Connect to the Adaxes service.
$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

# Bind to the task.
$container = $service.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath("ScheduledTasks")
$tasksPathObj = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdsPath" $container
$taskPath = $tasksPathObj.CreateChildPath("CN=$taskName,CN=1 DEV,CN=zTest Area")
$task = $service.OpenObject($taskPath.ToString(), $null, $null, 0)

Now I want to change the attribute of OwnerServiceDnsHostName with this command

$task.Put("OwnerServiceDnsHostName","<servername>.<domains>.<tld>")
$task.SetInfo()

But getting this

Exception calling "SetInfo" with "0" argument(s): "The parameter is incorrect. "
At line:2 char:1
+ $task.SetInfo()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DirectoryComException

Is this the wrong approach to update this setting via PowerShell?

Hello,

The approach you are using is incorrect. Here is how the script should looks like (the Put method is not used at all).

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")
$taskName = "Azure VDI Start"

# Connect to the Adaxes service.
$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

# Bind to the task.
$container = $service.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath("ScheduledTasks")
$tasksPathObj = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdsPath" $container
$taskPath = $tasksPathObj.CreateChildPath("CN=$taskName,CN=1 DEV,CN=zTest Area")
$task = $service.OpenObject($taskPath.ToString(), $null, $null, 0)

$task.OwnerServiceDnsHostName = "adaxes.company.com"
$task.SetInfo()
