So it is clear your job is failing and returning junk which can be due to many issues. There are many issues with the online modules so be sure you have the latest module installed. I have looked at your code more critically and find many deficiencies in the design of the code for use in a job. There are too many paths that can thwwo exceptions and you are not accounting for those exceptions. I have modified the job code to handle all of the exception ases that I believe can happen. If this doesn't dicover the cause then we will have to look into deeper methods of debugging this.

Run the attached., I cannot run it on my end because I have no rooms set up on the test server

[Shelltastic]

I will give it a run now and post back, FYI though this is not an online module, this is an on-prem environment. I am not sure what you are seeing that makes you think it's failing, because I do get the correct results that I am looking for when I execute my code, even in the stripped down example, I still get the results I want with 0 failures... Again, it's just that one line being added into the return data that I would like to remove.

[Shelltastic]

Just ran your updated code, looks like same thing. It works correctly just like my original code does, however it still contains that default return data. Screen shot attached to this message using your revised code.

[jvierra]

And if you run that exact code at a prompt you get different results.

Run the following and inspect the variables.

Code: Select all

$JobScript = {
	Param (
        $UserCred,
		$RoomName
	)
	
	try{
             $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
	     $session = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri 'https://sfbpoolw2.cigna.com/ocsPowerShell' -Credential $UserCred
	     Import-PSSession $session -AllowClobber
		
            # pre-allocate the object for consistent results.
            $table = [PSCustomObject][Ordered]@{
                 Description   = $null
                 Name	      = $null  
                 Managers      = $null
                 Members	      = $null
                Check	      = 'Success'
                ErrorMessage  = $null
            }
            
	    $room = Get-CSPersistentChatRoom -Identity $RoomName
	    $table.Description = $Room.Description
	    $table.Name	       = $Room.Name
	    $table.Managers    = $Room.Managers
	    $table.Members	   = $Room.Members
            $table.Check	   = 'Success'

    }
    catch{
        $table.Check= 'Fail'
        $table.ErrorMessage = "$_"
    }
    $table
}

$job = Start-Job -Name RoomData -ScriptBlock $JobScript -ArgumentList $userCred, '<roomname>' 
$results | Receive-Job -Wait
$results.Error
$results.Description

# check the following carefully

From the issue the cause may be one of the issues that have been reported about many modules for Exchange and other newer modules both online and on-prem. If the above works then change the mode of the PSF to MTA if STA or STA if MTA.

[jvierra]

I just though of another issue that can caus this behavior and I will post it after your test results. It is a behavior that can occur because the return object from some commands can get wrapped oddly when run in a form.

[Shelltastic]

Just ran it in both modes, looks like I am getting the same result, still adding in the extra line of text.

[jvierra]

Just ran it in both modes, looks like I am getting the same result, still adding in the extra line of text.

It appears that the module is incompatible with Forms. This is rue of a number of newer modules for Exchange and other subsystems like SharePoint.

I would also run the following to check the exact type of the returned objects to see if they are getting converted somehow.

Code: Select all

$job = Start-Job -Name RoomData -ScriptBlock $JobScript -ArgumentList $userCred, '<roomname>' 
$results | Receive-Job -Wait
$results.GetType()
$results.Error
$results.Description
$results.Description.GetType()

# check the following carefully
$results.ChildJobs[0].Error
