Script Packager and W2012 - impossible combination

[jyrki.huikuri]

Greetings from Finland!!

I use SAPIEN Powershell Studio 2012 and I have done application with GUI.

I have generated exe file using Script Packager and alternate credentials. Every exe file works fine on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 platforms. But same exe files do not work on Windows Server 2012 platforms. When I execute same script as .ps1 format everything works fine.

Script Packager settings are
Platform: Forms (64 Bit)
Powershell version: 3
Manifest Creation: Enbed a default manifest
Execution: Run as specified user (xxxx@yyyy.ccc)
File Version: 2.35.0.0
Product Version: 1.0.0.0

When I define
Execution: Execute as logged on user
and log on as same user everything works fine.

So, alternate credentials does not work. Has anyone met same problem? How to resolve this issue?

How do you know it doesn't work? What error are you getting?

Package a simple script with no alternate credentials. Does it work?

Does you script require elevation?

Can you place trace statements into the script and see it execute anything?

Now I know what is the problem.

I cannot import ActiveDirectory and GroupPolicy modules as alternate credentials on my script. GUI is freezing and finally showing "Not Responding" message.

I think that script cannot load PS modules but how to resolve this. Can anyone help me?

Same error happened on Windows 2008 and Windows 2012 platforms.

I have Powershell Studio 2012 3.1.32.

Why are you using alternate credentials?

Can you run package without alternate credentials?

How do you know I is the import that is causing the freeze? What have you done to troubleshoot this?

FYI - I just ran this with GP and AD modules on WS2008 ith no issues.

If you are still having issues then you can try posting in the Product Support forum for PowerShell Studio.
