Hi, I’m running into an issue when executing a single line test script when credentials are set in the properties. No issues with the script if I don’t have credentials set.

I have the same issue. No credential it runs, when a credential is specified it gives the error mentioned.
I already checked and the credentials are correct

I am also having this same issue. Trying to convince my boss to purchase the software but I need to make this work.

PowerShell v5 or PowerShell v7, same issue. Running without the credentials works fine. Account has permissions to logon as service, is even a local admin (thought that might fix it). Doesn’t matter if I am running as IIS or MSI installed (tried both).
