C# AuthorizationManager check failed.

Question

using System.Management.Automation; PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create(); //ps.AddCommand("Get-Process"); // if uncommented, works. ps.AddCommand("Enable-NetFirewallRule").AddParameter("DisplayName","firewall_rule_1"); ps.Invoke(); (This is the continuation of the my previous question, since it seems I can't follow up Muhammad's previous answer. (See previous question "System.Management.Automation : Not Found : 'Enable-NetFirewallRule'" ) c-sharpcorner.com/forums/systemmanagementautomation-not-found-sharp39enablenetfirewallrulesharp39 ) Thank you very much to Muhammad, I appreciate it. I have followed your recommendations but it seems that the "Import-Module NetSecurity" command doesn't work, even in admin mode. I guess I should see the "Microsoft.Windows.Firewall.Commands.dll" file in my app directory : "C:\c#\fw\bin\Debug
et8.0" .... but I see nothing... Also, the file "fw.deps.json" (in that same directory) doesn't give any reference to the NetSecurity module. I worked hard on this problem and the only improvement/advance I made is to copy the "NetSecurity" module Directory.. From : c:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\NetSecurity To : C:\Users\myName\Documents\PowerShell\Modules the result : "'Enable-NetFirewallRule' command was found BUT AuthorizationManager check failed..", see below : > dotnet run -------------------------------------------------------------- > dotnet run Unhandled exception.

I then tried to launch this powershell 7.4.1 in admin mode : > c:\users\myName\.dotnet	ools\.store\powershell\7.4.1\powershell\7.4.1	ools

et8.0\ then launch the ".\fw.exe" (still admin mode) ===> same "AuthorizationManager check failed" error as above. -------------------------------------------------------------- FYI, in my Visual Code terminal, I entered the following commands : > $env:PSModulePath C:\Users\myName\Documents\PowerShell\Modules; C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules; c:\users\myName\.dotnet	ools\.store\powershell\7.4.1\powershell\7.4.1	ools
et8.0\any\win\Modules; C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules; c:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules; !!! the "NetSecurity" module is ONLY located in the LAST path ("c:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\NetSecurity" ) For some reason, if I don't copy this "NetSecurity" module directory to "C:\Users\myName\Documents\PowerShell\Modules", then the 'Enable-NetFirewallRule' command isn't found! (as if the "NetSecurity" module directory wouldn't be in the last $PSModulePath !) However the "Get-Module -ListAvailable" command sees it !

Tuhin Paul · Answer

You've made some progress in troubleshooting your issue with the Enable-NetFirewallRule command but are still encountering the "AuthorizationManager check failed" error. Copying NetSecurity Module: You mentioned that you copied the NetSecurity module directory from c:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\NetSecurity to C:\Users\myName\Documents\PowerShell\Modules. This allows the command Enable-NetFirewallRule to be found. Despite finding the command, you're encountering an error related to the AuthorizationManager check when trying to execute it. You've provided the versions of PowerShell you're using. One is PowerShell 7.4.1 and the other is PowerShell 5.1. Few suggestions: Check that the execution policy allows running scripts. You can check this by running Get-ExecutionPolicy in PowerShell. If it's not set to allow, you can change it using Set-ExecutionPolicy. Make sure you're running PowerShell as an administrator. Right-click on PowerShell and select "Run as Administrator" to check elevated privileges. Confirm that the NetSecurity module you've copied is intact and properly loaded. Sometimes copying modules might cause issues if they're not copied correctly or if there are missing dependencies. If possible, try updating PowerShell to the latest version. Sometimes, updating can resolve compatibility issues and bugs. There might be Group Policies in place that restrict the execution of certain commands. Check if there are any Group Policies affecting PowerShell execution. check that all dependencies required by the NetSecurity module are available and properly configured.
