Sorry, it seems I had an issue when posting. Here is the actual topic:


Hi,

I have an issue with a powershell task that hangs indefinitely. Here's the code in my Powershell Task:

Get-DbaBackupInformation -SqlInstance instance -Path "path" -MaintenanceSolution | Select-Object -Property Type -Unique | Write-Output
Exit


It runs until I kill the task, then I get the output (I'm using it in another task) and the job continues.

Here is the extended debug output:

I've tried running it from a script but I get the same result.

Also, the command runs fine in Powershell ISE with the same user.

Do you have any suggestion ? I'm running VC 9.4.5.

1. can you send the full script to support@visualcron.com
2. if you restart the VisualCron service and test again do you get the same issue?
