I’m having trouble with a script that runs as a scheduled task under a group managed service account. Everything works fine under an account or with a regular account assigned to the task, but when using the system account or a group managed service account I’m having trouble assigning and using values that should be being assigned to a variable.
The variable is assigned as:
$WebRequest = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri “some web address" -Credential $credential
Which returns something like:
StatusCode : 200
StatusDescription : OK
Content : good
RawContent : HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: keep-alive
X-Varnish: 1713844308
Age: 0
I’m sending an email with the info, but it is empty if the scheduled task is run under the group managed service account or the local system account. The task runs and the email is sent, but anything I try to use, like ($Webrequest).StatusCode, is empty. If I assign a value to $WebRequest manually before the command is run, I’ll get the manually assigned value as if it’s never run, but if I use a Uri of a webserver I can see the logs of I see the connection. Other manually assigned values from other variables are available as well. I’m sure there’s a reason this doesn’t work, but I can’t find it and would really like to know. Has anyone seen something like this before? This is on a domain controller if that makes a difference, but the same thing happens on a non-DC.
