Hi All, I am looking for help in configuring workflow to run powershell script present in IQ service. I have created new privilege VA cluster, VA is having connectivity with IQservice (curl working). Created workflow with Windows Server action. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/e/a/ea94b9f1e15ac49078d949400891ef7d5dc5fbfa.png) Running powershell ![A screenshot of a computer program AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/1/0/10115a428b9b66aa18771930d10cdac1ae881cd0.png) ![A screenshot of a computer error AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/2/6/2639978269fd2cd2004bfc8acb46a4a85a1bfa74.png) I am getting below error while trying to run powershell script.

Check the file permissions and also the file is unblocked from execution if it’s downloaded. ---

1. I would say, check the file actually exists with the right name under the desired filepath. I don’t see permission error. 2. Are you working under the right VA? ---

Hi @eberteo - Thanks a lot. My mistake i was looking into IQ server and instead of server configured in Windows Server action. Now i am able to execute the powershell on windows server. Do you know how to pass parameters to Powershell during execution. I tried this and got error. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/1/1/11b310712766fec8821d845dd3a33db736c6a13d.png) ---

Hey Girish, Good to hear you were able to fix it. Set you params in the ps1 and don’t use dash -. Just samaccountname. if you have further errors, please share the logs. ---
