I have a PowerShell script that has a GUI, which has below where users enter the credentials, and it is redirected to the next page if he is a valid member. Below is the function to validate the users. This works as expected when run via ISE, but when I convert it exe and run it, I get "Exception calling "FindOne" with "0" argument(s) " network path not found while authenticating via LDAP" error
I have an exe which I created a year back with the same function for authentication, which works, hence I am wondering what the issue is now, is it the way I am converting the script to exe?
$loginButton.Add_Click({ try { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Login Clicked", "Step 1")
# Step 2 - current user $currentUser = "$env:USERDOMAIN\$env:USERNAME" [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Current User: $currentUser", "Step 2") # Step 3 - load assembly (already loaded, but just in case) Add-Type -AssemblyName System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Loaded AccountManagement assembly", "Step 3") # Step 4 - create context $context = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalContext('Domain') [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Created PrincipalContext for domain: $domainName", "Step 4") # Step 5 - get user principal $userPrincipal = [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal]::FindByIdentity($context, $env:USERNAME) if (-not $userPrincipal) { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("User not found in AD", "Error", "OK", "Error") return } [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("UserPrincipal found: $($userPrincipal.Name)", "Step 5") # Step 6 - check group membership $isInGroup = $false $groups = $userPrincipal.GetAuthorizationGroups() foreach ($group in $groups) { if ($group.Name -ieq $requiredGroup) { $isInGroup = $true break } } # Step 7 - result if ($isInGroup) { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Access granted!", "Success") $loginPanel.Visible = $false $LetterRemoval.Visible = $true } else { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Access denied. Not in group '$requiredGroup'.", "Unauthorized", "OK", "Error") } } catch { $errorMessage = $_.Exception.Message if ($_.Exception.InnerException) { $errorMessage += "`nInner Exception: " + $_.Exception.InnerException.Message } $errorMessage += "`nStack Trace:`n" + $_.Exception.StackTrace [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Fatal error:`n$errorMessage", "Error", "OK", "Error") } }) I am using Invoke-PS2EXE -InputFile "E:\Auth_test.ps1" -OutputFile "E:\Auth_test.exe" for conversion
Fails at Step 4
