Any ideas to what is causing this?

If I recall correctly, that's how this works. The "success" is that it successfully launched the PowerShell command. It doesn't report back whether or not it actually worked. For that, you need the Scripting driver.

I sort of agree and disagree with David. This is a weakness of the
PSExecute approach. It really does not return much.

However I disagree ince i HAVE gotten errors back. Of course that could
comply with David's comment that the errors i have seen return are when
it fails to launch the command. But I cannot recall for certain.

They were trying to be helpful, not replace a scripting driver.

The Azure driver in some ways is better (newer PS service, that is REST
based) and worse (Since some of it is shown in RL trace but accessible
in policy).

I'd like to see better support for PSExecute with actual error handling / error return in the MAD driver. It doesn't, should not, replace the Scripting driver, but the way MS is making "everything" PowerShell enabled, we're going to see a lot more use of various PowerShell things needed, just to be able to do "everything" we need to do.

Agreed, and hardcoding a shim to map XDS events/attributes to PowerShell
is not a good plan either.

Re: IDMPowershell service errors but returns success

Hi.

I know 100% that I have seen errors returned back to the engine in the past. I just cannot recall what versions of AD-driver and IDMPowerShell service. So obviously something has changed to limit what is being returned from executing powershell commands.

I think this is really bad as executing Powershell commands from an Identity Manager solution should not be a premium function (require a licensed Scripting driver) in my opinion.

It makes me want to write an open source C# PowerShell driver that just can execute Powershell commands and return actual results. Lets see if that happens.

Best regards
Marcus
