Rundeck Failing to execute remote powershell scripts

[Abraam Magued]

Hello,

Currently I am facing a very confusing issue. 

1- I am executing a job from (Rundeck) to (remote windows machine) using winrm as executor and file copier, which execute an inline powershell script.

2- I set that and worked on the DEV environment.

3- On the Preprod, and Prod Rundeck.. Same job (exported/imported), fails, though same setting on the 3 environment, same script, same args, even same windows version.

4- I added a WINRM Check connection step, and it succeeds. 

5- Rundeck manage to throw the script on the machine (with wrong name however), which means authentication is going well. However, it fails with this abstract error.

5- When I try to execute the thrown Powershell script locally from the machine it works well. 

WinRM plugin version: 2.0.9

Python: 2.7.17

Hi Abraam,

Which error are you seeing? Anyway, consider using the PyWinRM (out of the box with Rundeck) plugin instead of the old "Overthere WinRM" plugin. Here you can check the configuration and here you can check how to define your windows machine on the model source (resource.xml). Also, here you have the Windows side configuration.

Regards!

Hello,

This is the error

[ERROR ] Execution finished with the following error (winrm-exec.py:304)[root]

[ERROR ] The parameter is incorrect. (extended fault data: {u'fault_subcode': 'w:InvalidParameter', u'fault_code': 's:Sender', u'wsmanfault_code': '87', 'transport_message': u'Bad HTTP response returned from server. Code 500', 'http_status_code': 500}) (winrm-exec.py:305)[root]

[WinRMPython]: result code: 1, success: false

Failed: NonZeroResultCode: [WinRMPython] Result code: 1

For the client/server configuration, the RUndeck manages to authenticate and copy the inline script. So authentication and connection is going well.

Hi Abraam,

Is that happening with every Powershell script? You tested sending single commands (or a single powershell script) to a windows server and work OK? Could you share a script example to test? (please change any potentially sensitive information).

Regards.

Hello,

Same behaviour, same exact error when I execute single command step. 

Note: user with whom I execute is in administrator group, so no privilige issue.

To double-check:

1. Make sure that you’ve configured your windows box in this way.
2. Make sure that your windows node is well defined following this.
3. Can you test switching your interpreter to python3? (Project Settings > Edit Configuration > Default Node Executor tab > Pythonn Interpreter, same for Default File Copier tab).

Also, I did it a python code (which need WinRM python module) to test the remote windows machine with a command, can you run and test it?

import winrm

session = winrm.Session('your-windows-ip', auth=('your-user','your-password'))
result = session.run_ps("hostname")
print(result.std_out)

Can you see the “hostname” command output?

Regards!

Hello,

Actually I tried running with python3 interpreter, however it is telling me 

[ERROR ] winrm not installed, try: pip install pywinrm (winrm-exec.py:216)[root]

Checkking on the rundeck host, python3 is present. As well, when I pip list, I find pywinrm (0.4.1) available.

Any idea of how to make it use python3 properly ?

Hi Abraam,

The winrm module is present if you do pip3 list command? (different to pip list). If not present, you can install it with pip3 install pywinrm.

Regards.

Hello,

Thanks a lot.. Indeed, issue is resolved when using the python3 interpreter.
