Error: Did not receive port from client process

[this-is-mihai]

Hello,
I just cannot manage to make UA working.
this is the log.

info: UniversalAutomation.ExecutionService[0]
Error executing job 25: Did not receive port from client process. at UniversalAutomation.ExecutionService.ExecutePowerShell(Script script, IEnumerable`1 parameters, Job job, Schedule schedule, Int32 port, ExecutionCallback callback) in D:\a\universal\universal\src\UniversalAutomation\Services\ExecutionService.cs:line 399
at UniversalAutomation.ExecutionService.TryExecute(Job job, Schedule schedule) in D:\a\universal\universal\src\UniversalAutomation\Services\ExecutionService.cs:line 290
at UniversalAutomation.ExecutionService.Execute(Job job, Schedule schedule) in D:\a\universal\universal\src\UniversalAutomation\Services\ExecutionService.cs:line 151 System.Exception
info: Universal.Server.Services.ClaimsEvaluator[0]

I get this error when trying to run a simple script “get-service”
My setup is like this:
Window server 2016 running on AWS. Computer is joined in domain. User groups are setup on the server.
UA running in IIS: made the setup in the docs. can authenticate with windows auth.
UA not in IIS (right click on exe → run as administrator) : can authenthificate with windows auth.

Problem is this one: I can’t run scripts in UA. " Error executing job: Did not receive port from client process."
Same error if i run UA from .exe or if run it in IIS.

Please help.

Also as a rant:
So time consuming just to setup the UA and UD on a server. Docs are few and they contradict with the answers on the forum. I’m really tired for every problem to come to the forum and make a post hoping to get an answer. Please @adam @adamdriscoll invest more time in the docs and tutorials.

Can you please enable Debug logging? Something is going wrong in the PowerShell process: https://docs.ironmansoftware.com/debugging/logging#did-not-receive-port-from-client-process

As for documentation, we are adding new documentation nearly every day so if there are gaps or inconsistencies, please let us know by filing an issue: https://github.com/ironmansoftware/universal-docs/issues

We are trying to ensure that most questions that are asked on the forums related to the function of PSU are translated into documentation.
