Import-WdsInstallImage : An install image could not be found in the image file

≪ Previous: How can I pass the rename-computer credential in a powershell script (.ps1)?

As asked from here I ask my question on the PowerShell forum.

Hello,

The WDS server is a freshly installed Win 2019 server.

I am trying to import install images with PowerShell.

$ImagePath = 'D:\Sources\2019\install.wim'
$ImageName = (Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath $ImagePath -Index 4).ImageName
Import-WdsInstallImage -ImageGroup 'Win2019' -ImageName $ImageName -Path $ImagePath -Multicast

However I get the following error:

Import-WdsInstallImage : An install image could not be found in the image file.
At line:3 char:1+ Import-WdsInstallImage -ImageGroup 'Win2019' -ImageName $ImageName -P ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (MSFT_WdsInstallImage:root/cimv2/MSFT_WdsInstallImage) [Import-WdsInstallImage], CimException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 0xC111010E,Import-WdsInstallImage

The image file is NOT read-only.

And with the console it works fine.

I also installed the latest system rollup, but the behavior is the same.

I first started to display image names with Get-WindowsImage and copy/paste the name to the Import-WdsInstallImage and got the same error. That's why I was getting directly the name from the Get-WindowsImage cmdlet. But no luck, still the same error...

And while the Import-WdsInstallImage returns an error, the Import-WdsBootImage and theGet-WindowsImage cmdlets are works fine.

Does anybody see what's wrong with my code or my command lines?

Formatting the output of the script

≪ Previous: Import-WdsInstallImage : An install image could not be found in the image file

I have create a script that fetches the name of AD Object, however there are some user defined properties in the objects that requires some formatting initially I was simply loading the properties and the data was obtained in proper tabular structure.

Get-ADGroup -Filter { 'objectClass' -eq 'grp' } -Properties Name, GUID | Select Name, GUID

From the script above the data will be loaded in this format

Name GUID

------- --------

Test ABCD-1234-XXXX

Test2 JKLM-4567-YYYY

I have a function that I am using to count the days let say do operation on the group after some x days. So, the count of x is fetched through that function. Say CountX().

So, my script is somewhat like.

$ADGROUP = Get-ADGroup -Filter { 'objectClass' -eq 'grp' } -Properties Name, GUID | Select CountX(GUID) +" - "+ Name, GUID
function CountX($ADGroup){
    #SomeOperations Counting the DueDate
    return $DueDate #Lets Say The Date is in the format "yyyy/MM/dd"
}
$ADGroup | Select-Object -Join (CountDueDate($ADGroup), Name), ObjectGUID // Concatenating Name & Date String()

But the script is causing the error : The term 'CountDate' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. I think I am not invoking my function properly. Any Suggestions?

My Expected Output is Suppose to be:

Name GUID

------- --------

2019/01/01 Test ABCD-1234-XXXX

2019/01/01 Test2 JKLM-4567-YYYY

Problem is when I send an email to them using this function to display their email addresses Email Addresses: $EmailAddresses, all their smtp address does not display one by one with line break, it seem to combine them into one long line which make difficult for user to read.

Hello, everyone! I recently meet a strange problem about double hop.

I try to run the following PowerShell command

$credential = Get-Credential

$computerName = "frxp02361Dmbssh"

$psdrive1 = @{
    Name = "PSDrive1"
    PSProvider = "FileSystem"
    Root = "\\mbssh01\Tool"

    Root = "\\dyn\AX"
    Credential = $credential
}

$psdrive3 = @{

    PSProvider = "FileSystem"
    Root = "\\scmlabe3\SCM"
    Credential = $credential
}

$psdrive4 = @{

}

     New-PSDrive @using:psdrive2
     New-PSDrive @using:psdrive3

Finally, I successfully create new PSDrives of "\\mbssh01\Tool", "\\scmlabe3\SCM", "\\codeflow\public"EXCEPT FOR "\\dyn\AX"

I received the following error:

We can see the command "New-PSDrive @using:psdrive2" failed.

But the other three commands all succeed.

I have tested that I can access the folder "\\dyn\AX" in File Explorer when I login into the remote computer.
