    • Hi

      I Would like to know why the most recent platforms seems not being able to run this script (and most of the others using VB) since this one is running fine on my Windows Server 2008 R2 Machine. Is this because you are promoting only Powershell on those plsteforms ?

      Thanks a lot and best regards
