Error: "Unable to create remote PowerShell session" or "No data returned from PowerShell script"
If you face any of the above errors or any other error related to PowerShell Session, follow the below steps to check if you are able to run individual scripts.
1. Verify Prerequisites
- Confirm that all SharePoint Server prerequisites are implemented.
- If CredSSP authentication is enabled in the SharePoint monitor, make sure the CredSSP prerequisites are also met on both the Applications Manager server and the SharePoint server.
2. Run PowerShell Scripts Manually
- Open PowerShell in Administrator mode on the machine where Applications Manager is installed.
- Navigate to the <AppManager-Home>\working\conf\application\scripts\powershell directory.
- Execute the appropriate script by replacing hostname, username, and password with the credentials of the SharePoint server as used in Applications Manager. Use CredSSP option if chosen in the monitor.
- Tabular data (SharePoint Service, Web Applications, Databases, Timer Jobs, Share Point Server Services, Web Content Management-Publishing Cache, Office Search Schema Plugin, Office Search Archival Plugin, Office Server Search Indexer Catalogs)
.\SPMaster.ps1 'hostname' 'username' 'password' 'WebApplication,TimerJobs,ContentDB,SharepointServices' 'CredSSP'
- Scalar data (Other performance metrics)
For AppManager version 175900 and above:.\SPAttributes.ps1 'hostname' 'username' 'password' '<Selected-Services>' '<Version-Number>'For AppManager versions below 175900:.\SPAttributes.ps1 'hostname' 'username' 'password' 'WebApplication,TimerJobs,ContentDB,SharepointServices' 'CredSSP'
- Refer to the table below to choose the appropriate Version-Number and their Selected-Services
- Get the full output and copy it to a text file.
Error: "No data returned from the PowerShell command"
- Run the SPMaster.ps1 script mentioned above in step 2 to check if it retrieves data.
- If not, refer to this KB article to execute direct PowerShell commands on the Applications Manager server and validate the output.
Error: "No data available in the WMI class, or the WMI class is unavailable"
- Run the SPAttributes.ps1 script mentioned above in step 2 to check if it retrieves data.
- You can also check the specific metrics using the Self Help Tools and see if the associated WMI class fails.
- You may copy the WMI class name from the Self Help Tools output and verify it using the WBEMTEST tool directly on the SharePoint Server to check if the class exists and data is available.
