Need help with a Powershell Monitor

cwbyflyer

I have created a powershell script below to use in SAM, but I'm getting an error about psftp.exe not being a valid cmdlet or program. I have verified that psftp.exe is in the Windows\System32 folder on the SAM server.

$outfile = “testfile”

$strUN = “username”

$strPW = “password”

$strSRV = “servername.company.com”

$strBatchFile = “batch.psftp”

“DateTime: $(get-date -format MMddyyHHmmss)” | out-file $outfile -force -Encoding ASCII

“put $outfile`nrm $outfile`nbye” | out-file $strBatchFile -force -Encoding ASCII

[void] (psftp.exe -l sftpmon -pw sftpm0n servername.company.com -b batch.psftp -be)

$r = $?

if( $r -eq 'TRUE' ) { write-host "Available: Yes" }

if( $r -eq 'False' ) { write-host "Available: No" }

Any ideas?

TIA

A couple of things you should check. First ensure that the account your using to run the PowerShell script has permission to run the script you've created. If this is local powershell the best and easiest way is to login into the Orion server as that user and run the script.

If the script runs fine as that user then the next, and more likely cause of that error is that the PowerShell script is being run in 32bit mode, but the cmdlet is 64bit. You can change the bitness of the polling method by editing the application, expand the advanced options and select x64 from the "Platform to run polling job on" drop down.
