BigIP Report Old

Hi I got some error when starting the script:

PS C:\inetpub\wwwroot> .\Bigipreport-4.3.8.ps1
Successfully loaded the config file
2017-04-06      13:02:26        Configuring the console window

2017-04-06      13:02:26        Mounting
The syntax of this command is:

NET USE
[devicename | *] [\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
        [/USER:[domainname]username]
        [/USER:[dotted domain name]username]
        [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
        [/SMARTCARD]
        [/SAVECRED]
        [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

2017-04-06      13:02:26        Share  could not be mounted
2017-04-06      13:02:26        There were errors during the config file sanity check
2017-04-06      13:02:26        Exiting
PS C:\inetpub\wwwroot>

What is wrong with the script?

Hi Silvere

It looks like the configuration file is not properly populated as the share name does not seem to exist rather than an error in the script itself. Are you writing the file to a separate server from the one that generates the script? Otherwise you can just leave that section as it is in the default configuration file.

Example of a functioning share (replace the details with those in your environment):

        
            
                \\server.domain.local\sharename$ 
                domain\username
                yourpassword

Hi The config xml has the following parameters. S I don't know why I get an error

Ok, that should work indeed. Let me see if I can replicate the issue.

I've tested the latest version now with minimum configuration and it ran just fine. Could you please tell me your Powershell version?

Example:

$PSVersionTable

Name                           Value
----                           -----

PSEdition                      Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion                   10.0.14393.953
CLRVersion                     4.0.30319.42000

Ok I see where the problem is, now I use the same powershell version like you but now: 2017-04-07 10:32:56 Writing temporary pools json object to E:\personal\scripts\Bigipreport-4.3.8\json\pools.json.tmp New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "4" argument(s): "Could not find a part of the path 'E:\personal\scripts\Bigipreport-4.3.8\json\pools.json.tmp'."At E:\personal\scripts\Bigipreport-4.3.8\Bigipreport-4.3.8.ps1:1541 char:18 + ... eamWriter = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($($Global:poolsjsonpath ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [New-Object], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConstructorInvokedThrowException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand

Hi!

This error is due to the defined ReportRoot not containing the HTML content. Check out step number 3 here:

Confirm that C:\inetpub\wwwroot\json\ exists? Does not look that way from your error message.

And also, that the user running the script has write permissions to that folder.
