MID Server Credential test failingIssue When attempting in creating a MID Server we have noticed the following error it has generated: Powershell initialization: 10/23/19 10:16:28 (271) WSMAN Setup SEVERE *** ERROR *** PowerShell will not be availablejava.lang.Exception: Error encountered when invoking PowerShell, the result from running '"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exeC:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -noninteractive -nologo -noprofile -command "$ver = if (Test-Path Variable:\PSVersionTable) { $PSVersionTable.PSVersion } else { (get-host).Version }; 'full_version:' + $ver.ToString() + ', major_version:' + $ver.Major"' isat com.service_now.mid.probe.util.PowershellStatus.init(PowershellStatus.java:128)at com.service_now.mid.probe.util.PowershellStatus.get(PowershellStatus.java:57)at com.service_now.mid.probe.util.PowershellStatus.getExecutablePath(PowershellStatus.java:80)at com.service_now.mid.win.powershell.api.PowerConsole.<clinit>(PowerConsole.java:44)at com.service_now.mid.win.powershell.api.APowershellSession.<init>(APowershellSession.java:77)at com.service_now.mid.win.powershell.api.LocalPowerShellSession.<init>(LocalPowerShellSession.java:17)at com.snc.sw.providers.wmi.WMIProviderImpl.setupWsmanDefinition(WMIProviderImpl.java:117)at com.service_now.mid.services.StartupSequencer$2.lambda$run$0(StartupSequencer.java:304)at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266)at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149)at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624)at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)ResolutionThis could be a couple of scenario as to why we see this: The issue looks to be with querying Powershell to determine the version, which I see it is looking for version 1 and we currently do not support this, only version 2.0 and greater. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe In the following docs for PowerShell version requirements: PowerShell For DiscoveryIn the following path it is looking in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe <-- is this installed? Perhaps, the issue maybe it is not installed. There may be an AntiVirus Daemon installed which is preventing the MID Server service to running any Powershell initialization. A solution to this is to consult with your security team that manages this. So we can have the MID Server service invoke PowerShell on the MID Server host.This is related to this KB - KB0750324 - "MID Server PowerShell Initialization Issue with error message [Error encountered when invoking PowerShell, the result from running '"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -noninteractive -nologo -noprofile ...]" Also, the PowerShell execution policy on the MID Server is set to "AllSigned" or "remoteSigned" which would force the policy to throw an error similar to what we are seeing. A simple fix is to set the PowerShell policy to "Unrestricted". However, I highly doubt this would be the case. Please see in the following link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/set-executionpolicy?view=powershell-6 This is related to this PRB: KB0752093 - "Powershell MID Server Script Files used by Orchestration Activity Packs are not signed, which is a requirement for some customers" Lastly, there may be a possibility of several other powershell.exe entries that exist in the server. You can use the dir functionality to search the directory and all of its children directories while filtering on a particular file type. Use the following command: dir /s /b *.exe | findstr /v .exe
