I have several windows server versions running, from 2008 R2 to 2022, with the same error on all.
I have tried using the Install-Module LocalAccounts command on one server (W2012R2) to check, but I get the exact same error message as the one I obtained when running my original script. Do you see what could explain that?
- And Get-LocalGroupMember -Group Administrateurs | Where-Object { $_.PrincipalSource -eq "ActiveDirectory" does work on those machines interactively using powershell_ISE.exe of poweshell.exe?
- I have tried the command in PowerShell ISE (as admin) on one of the servers, still the same error message.
- Ok, so if you do Install-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.LocalAccounts , does it work then?
