Hello,

I am trying to run a PS script using win\_shell modules  
The name of the script is called Set-WmiNamespaceSecurity-ps1  
[https://github.com/grbray/PowerShell/blob/main/Windows/Set-WMINameSpaceSecurity.ps1](https://github.com/grbray/PowerShell/blob/main/Windows/Set-WMINameSpaceSecurity.ps1)

When I run the command from the command line, it runs fine with no issues.

When I copy the script to a remote host and try to run using ansibles win\_shell, I always have errors in regards to “Account was not found”

The syntax of my win\_shell command is as below

win\_shell: .\Set-WmiNamespaceSecurity.ps1 -namespace root -operation add -account ‘user@domain’ Enable,RemoteAccess,Methodexecute

or

win\_shell: .\Set-WmiNamespaceSecurity.ps1 -namespace root -operation add -account ‘domain\user’ Enable,RemoteAccess,Methodexecute

I have tried both domain\username and also username@domain but still getting “Account was not found” errors.

I think it may have something to do with the PS script, but if anyone can shed any light, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks
