I'm trying to test this script in our environment. If I run it via PowerShell ISE on the Adaxes server I get a lot of errors (starts with line 24/25, can't call method on null-valued expression). Could you let me know the correct way to implement it?

Hello,

 

The script can be executed only in a Business Rule, Custom Command or Scheduled Task, not in Windows PowerShell. For example, you can create a Custom Command configured for Domain-DNS object type and then execute the command on a domain registered in Adaxes. The domain will not specify the scope of objects affected by the script and will only be used to execute it. The export criteria are specified in the script itself.

HI,
if I run this Script I got this Message:
Illegales Zeichen im Pfad. Stapelüberwachung: bei <ScriptBlock>, <Keine Datei>: Zeile 60
Have you any Idea?

Hello,

Please, make sure that the path specified in the $folderPath variable is valid and corresponds to an existing folder on the computer where Adaxes service is installed. Additionally, make sure that the path does not contain illegal and non-printable characters.

When I run this as using Adaxes cutom command, i do not get the output of the business rules; I only get custom commands. How do I fix this?

Hello Douglas,

As per our check, the script works exactly as intended. Could you, please, send us (support@adaxes.com) the exact script you are using with all the modifications you made? If you face any error messages, please, send us screenshots.
