MicrosoftGot it. I couldn't replicate that error on the latest script version. Are you sure you are running the latest? It should be:
Install-Script -Name Prepare-PlacesEnablement -RequiredVersion 5.0 -Force
Install-Script -Name Prepare-PlacesEnablement -RequiredVersion 5.0 -Force
I will recheck tomorrow morning now as away from my machine but when I checked last it was version 5 yes
- Thanks for the response I did as you requested, and downloaded the files manually.
Then I proceeded to extract the nupkg packages, set the policy execution policy on the machine I am running the scripts and attempted the following scripts:
PreparePlacesPowershell7 Version 5 - (This was also newly downloaded) Run Successfully
Prepare-PlacesEnablement Version 5 - This failed with the same error - BrettGiammonaI think somehow the old script is still being run. I checked with our engineers and that is not an error code that is associated with V5. Can you try downloading the script manually from PS gallery and then run it from the downloaded location?
BrettGiammona so checked this morning I can confirm that the Version of script is the latest and version 5.
Reconnected this morning and still getting the same error which is a little annoying hoped that 24 Hours passing it would of bedded in at the backend. I added the -Force at the end as suggested to no avail.
- BrettGiammonaSounds good. Ensure you try with -Force at the end.
