Use the credentials of the service administrator in PS

Question

Hi

I'm trying to use the credentials of the service administrator in a PS script, but i'm having problems:
"Cannot bind argument to parameter 'String' because it is null. Stack trace: at <ScriptBlock>, <No file>: line 6"

Using the example from the guides:
$username = $Context.RunAs.UserName
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString $Context.RunAs.Password -AsPlainText -Force

The error refers to the line containing $password.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Most probably, the issue occurs because the Adaxes service account option is selected in the Run as section. To use the $Context.RunAs property in your script, you need to select This account and specify the account whose credentials will be used in the script.
