Re: [GAM] Password reset as a scheduled task

[Ross Scroggs]

Do: gam version

What is the Config File value?

Is it something like C:\GamConfig ?

If so, make sure that the environment variable GAMCFGDIR is set correctly.

See: https://github.com/GAM-team/GAM/wiki/How-to-Install-GAM7#set-system-path-and-gam-configuration-directory

It should be set in System variables, not User variables.

I have a powershell script set to reset a group of users passwords daily, when running the script directly (right click and Run with Powershell) it works. When this is run from task scheduler it fails giving the error message

FAILED: user...@domain.com - GAM Exit Code 16. Output: WARNING: Config File: C:\Users\Administrator\.gam\gam.cfg, Section: DEFAULT, Item: oauth2_txt, Value: C:\Users\Administrator\.gam\oauth2.txt, Not Found WARNING: Config File: C:\Users\Administrator\.gam\gam.cfg, Section: DEFAULT, Item: oauth2service_json, Value: C:\Users\Administrator\.gam\oauth2service.json, Not Found System.Management.Automation.RemoteException ERROR: No Client Access allowed

The powershell script is attached.

From the research I have done it looks like the error "System.Management.Automation.RemoteException" is generated from powershell and not from GAM, has anyone else encountered such issues when running powershell scripts to perform tasks?

All sorted - call the powershell script from a batch file rather than running directly.
