Task server clients do not properly report exit codes from power shell scripts

Products

• Task Server

Issue/Introduction

With scripts that use exit codes with the following syntax the task client will not accurately pick up the error code and report a failure.

Syntax:

$Host.SetShouldExit(99)

n / a

Environment

SMP 7.x - 8.1.x

Resolution

This issue has been addressed by the Symantec Development team. A fix was released to ITMS 8.1 RU2.

Prior to ITMS 8.1 RU2, the workaround is to use a different exit command in the PowerShell scripts. Use the following syntax instead:

Syntax:

[Environment]::Exit(98)
