as part of Joiner workflow, post active directory account creation, we are populating values within homedirectory attribute, and using powershell script to create actual folder for that user,

script that we are using is,

Import-Module ActiveDirectory 2>&1 | Write-Host;
if($?)
{

$homeDir = "\\CORP.INT\HOME\Q\hmodi";
$user = "hmodi";
$domain = "Corp";

New-Item "$homeDir" -type directory;

$acl = Get-Acl "$homeDir";
$permission = "$domain\$user","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow";
$accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule $permission;

$acl.SetAccessRule($accessRule);

$acl | Set-Acl "$homeDir";
}

Above script works within PowerShell utility server, but when we try to execute script within SSH connector, during test connector capability, we are seeing request failed.

we also tried to execute PS script from putty via SSH, and from SSH, we are getting, command not found message or command not recognized.

any pointers on how to execute ps script over SSH.

Correct Answer

You could use arguments in your script, try something like this:

I'm not much of a PS expert but looks like this is caused by the command being split into multiple lines. Try running the whole command in one line instead. Or put all your commands in one PS script and just call that PS script in one line from the AFX command (SSH command).

See initially if something like this works, if not put it all in one script and call the script in one line.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory 2>&1 | Write-Host; if($?) { $homeDir = "\\CORP.INT\HOME\Q\hmodi"; $user = "hmodi"; $domain = "Corp"; New-Item "$homeDir" -type directory; $acl = Get-Acl "$homeDir"; $permission = "$domain\$user","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow"; $accessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule $permission; $acl.SetAccessRule($accessRule); $acl | Set-Acl "$homeDir"; }

We did that, but still getting command not found error,

calling a script is an option, but then, how would you pass dynamic variables within script,
