Hi,

I recently installed powershell, pscx, pshx-sapien, and quest's tools on a windows 2003 sp2 32 bit server. I've set the executionpolicy to unrestricted, I've disabled Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. When I run any of the quest cmdlets they fail similarly as seen below.

PS H:\> get-qaduser
Get-QADUser : The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007054B)
At line:1 char:11
+ get-qaduser <<<<
PS H:\>

However, if I use pscx's get-adobject -class user and it works fine.

Is there anyone who's run into this, and how did you get around it?

thanks,

Anatoli

See related info here:

Are you running the v2 CTP?

No, using v 1.0.

I've found out via the powergui community site that this is a problem with version 1.0.6.567 of the quest tool. If one using an earlier version, it's fine.

 

regards,

Anatoli
