Orchestrator Problem with Powershell Command "Set-ADUser"

Hello everyone

I have problem with the PowerShell command ‘set-Aduser’. I always get the following error:

~ + CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (ext-Wini.stoni:ADAccount) nset-Aduser], ADServerDownE xception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryServer:0,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.SetADAccountExpira tion Get-ADUser : Unable to contact the server. This may be because this server does not exist, it is currently down,

 

Can anyone help me please?  Is “set-Aduser” not supported? 

 

Thank you in advance

Andy

 

P.S.

Some simple PowerShell commands are working, like  “New-Item -Path 'c:\temp\Test Folder' -ItemType Directory”

a stupid question here, does your script run on the server where AD is located?Or Does the Script itself specify the location of the AD?

Hello

The script is running on a member Server, AD Admin Tools are installed.

Should the script running directly on a DC?

What I meant was if your Set-ADUser has the parameter targetting specific domain.

Example:
Set-ADUser -Identity “test.user” -Server DCTEST -Surname “Testing”

I believe you need to use the -Server parameter to target the specific domain if you are not running the script on the machine where AD is located

When I start the PowerShell command on the server directly, it is working
