Getting the error System.OutOfMemory Exception in some powershell scripts

PowerShell Help
1

I have a runbook designed for doing some tasks in specific AD accounts. Of many tasks , I am facing problem in three specific powershell scripts which are failing. The three scripts do the following tasks respectively:-

  • Disable ActiveSync
  • Check for out of office Status
  • Remove all rules and alerts
I get the error as "System.OutOfMemory" exception for the scripts , when considerably a higher number of records are processed by the orchestrator , say 30 records. Out of which 24 would get processed seamlessly and other 6 would faily for no reason.

The records are fetched from the database all at once , and all the subsequent tasks/ nodes are executed for all the records parallely and not by fetching records one by one and processing each record individually. I think the RAM consumption is getting very high whenever the number of records for processing is high.

I am attaching the snapshots of the three scripts for your reference :-

The snapshots attached below are of the Scripts being used , where I am facing the issue.

Any suggestion / observation would be of great help. Thank You!
