Hi,
I created a script module which will run the provided script block as another user. Its interface looks like:
The Script Module
function Start-AsElevated {
Param(
$username, <- Who to run as
$password, <- Their password
$scriptblock) <- The script to run as the impersonated user
}
Inside here I use Invoke-Command to call the provided script block and run it as the provided user.
This all works great until I want to use one of my other script modules inside the script block that is passed. The problem is that Invoke-Command makes the script run in a different shell and as such the modules are not loaded at that point. They are of course available in the “step” that calls “Start-AsElevated” but since the script block is not executed in that shell they are no use to me there in this situation.
Is there a way for me to get access to my other script modules in this situation?
I notice that there are some Octopus parameters that refer to the script modules but they seem to be null. I was hoping to use this parameter to call Import-Module in the passed script block.
The script used in the step itself would look something like the following:
The Script STEP
Start-AsElevated `
-username $LocalAdminUserName `
-password $LocalAdminPassword `
-scriptblock {
# .... do something
MyScriptModule <- All these 3 lines would be executed in another shell and so "CallMyScriptModuleHere" is not known
# .... do something
}
I would ideally just like to call something like
Import-Module $OctopusParameters['Octopus.Script.Module[MyScriptModule]']
in the script block but the parameter does not seem to be populated.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Andy
