Team,

 

I am also facing the same issue. I have admin privileges and running PS as admin.

 

PFB the error scenario.

 

Tried to access the link https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/Az.Accounts/1.7.4 via IE on the machine and the package az.accounts.1.7.4.nupkg is getting downloaded without any issue. Hence it seems to be an issue with PS only, as PC can access the link.

 

Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks

Sunil

    Hi Chalaneru 

     

    I am just curious, why did it require that? Just a guess or is there something behind it? I can't find a good reason for it lol.

      Hi, FineSL60 

       

      I guessed it ought to be security because access using a browser was successful so connectivity was not the issue.

       

      Happy this helped you out 🙂
