Help needed in creating TS CAP

[zulfekhar Mohammed Sabry@discussions.microsoft.com Shaik zulfekhar Mohammed Sabry]

Hi all,
I am trying to automate the Terminal Services installation.
I installed Terminal Services by executing Servermanagercmd.exe command on
Windows Powershell.
I am using WMI class to configure the environment. As a part of
configuring the environment,
I need to create Terminal Services Connection Authorization Policy (TS
CAP)for TS gateway server. To do this, we have “Create Method of the
Win32_TSGatewayConnectionAuthorizationPolicy Class”.

But when I am trying to use it from powershell I am getting the below error:

PS C:\Users\Administrator>
$myretvalcap=$myobjcap.Create("TS_CAP_01","RDPELEDOMAIN\Domain
Users","RDPELEDOMAIN\Domain Users",0,1,0,1,2,1,1,1,1,1)
Method invocation failed because
[System.Management.ManagementObject#root\cimv2\TerminalServices\Win32_TSGatewayConnect
ionAuthorizationPolicy] doesn't contain a method named 'Create'.
At line:1 char:30
+ $myretvalcap=$myobjcap.Create <<<< ("TS_CAP_01","RDPELEDOMAIN\Domain
Users","RDPELEDOMAIN\Domain Users",0,1,0,1,2,1,1
,1,1,1)

To confirm that the current setup is not the cause, I created the Connection
Authorization Policy manually using the wizard. I was able to retrieve policy
related information using powershell command.

Then I tried to retrieve the methods that this class supports, I found that
the list does not contain Create()method.

Can you please let me know an alternate way to create connection
authorization policy (TS CAP) in case Create() method is not available. I can
not go for manaul approach as my target is to automate this.

Any pointers in resolving the issue would be of great help.

Thanks,
Sabry

I'm wondering if someone has an solution for this problem, because we have
the same problem.

I was just running into the same problem and found the solution, so I thought I'd share in case you haven't already figured this out.

Since the Create method of the Win32_TSGatewayConnectionAuthorizationPolicy is a static method, you need to use the [wmiclass] type accelerator. Try this:

([wmiclass]"\\.\root\CIMV2\TerminalServices:Win32_TSGatewayConnectionAuthorizationPolicy").Create("TS_CAP_01","RDPELEDOMAIN\Domain Users","RDPELEDOMAIN\Domain Users",0,1,0,1,2,1,1,1,1,1)
