The .CSV file’s OU is pointing to Instructor Paul. Must update the OU path within the .CSV file.

I’m trying the PowerShell lab and the first question about “Set PowerShell Script Execution Policy to Unrestricted” is already set to “Not Configured” in both places. Am I missing something???

Hi profile avatar James Estrella
It is just to practice setting the execution policy to something other than not configured.

No, there’s nothing you’re missing profile avatar James Estrella that’s how it is in the lab.

It happened to me too. When you open the Lab in the AD “Turn on Script Execution” is already set to “Not configured” on both computer and user configuration therefore it defeats the lab practice question which ask the student to again set them to “Not Configured’. I think the Lab should have “enabled/disabled” it so that we (students) can set them to “Not Configured” in order to get our score.

Hi profile avatar Nathan Sackey

That’s correct, we missed that part. We have updated the lab to reflect them as configured when doing rsop.msc. Check it out again and do let us know if you have any issues with it.

Hi profile avatar Victoria Vyedina

rsop.msc is part of the Windows server operating system. It should show up if you type in the search box rsop.msc.

Hello
The first task, Set PowerShell Script Execution Policy to Unrestricted, I follow the instructions (rsop.msc, etc) but after clicking on administrative templates then clicking on Windows Components, there isn’t a PowerShell choice, only a windows update

Hi profile avatar Jose Mattey

In this step, the task is to create a new PowerShell script based on the Creating User Accounts lesson from a CSV (Comma Separated Value) File. The CSV file to use is the one on the desktop. The new script should be stored on C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ with the name of CreateUsers.ps1. The step also checks the file size to be 1100KB or less.
In summary, the evaluation script checks for the name and location of the ps1 file and if it is less than 1100KB.

Let us know if there’s any issue with this step to review it.

Not sure what Im doing wrong. On the first lab task I created the ListUsers.ps1…put it in the correct place and it worked. Continued to tell me that it wasnt created in the correct place.Not really sure what I did. Had some other people look at it and they thought everything looked correct. Any tricks Im missing?

Hi profile avatar Aaron Salazar

The first evaluation step is looking for the ListUsers.ps1 file script under C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\. It doesn’t matter the case but should be named ListUsers.ps1, otherwise the evaluation fails. Also, it can fail if it has an extension like ListUsers.ps1.txt in case the extension is hidden by the OS it might be misleading and show ListUsers.ps1.
