Powershell script returns exception when using ADSI - exception

I get exceptions when executing a Power shell script (v1.0) on Windows Server 2008 (32 bit).
It uses ADSI for searching a virtual directory before its deletion.
I get the following exception:
Exception calling "Find" with "2" argument(s): "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80005008"
At line:1 char:29
+ $iisMgr.psbase.children.find <<<< ("MyVirtualDir", $iisMgr.psbase.SchemaClassName)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
This is the code:
$vDirPath = "IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root"
$iisMgr = [adsi]$vDirPath
$iisMgr.psbase.children.find("MyVirtualDir", $iisMgr.psbase.SchemaClassName)
(edit): from several blogs I read that the IIS6 Management Compatibility role service must be enabled to get the ADSI provider installed, and I already have it enabled, still having this exception...

Do you try with only one parameter ?
$iisMgr.psbase.children.find("MyVirtualDir")
I dont know there, but I've this kind of COM error when I invoke a method with the bad number of arguments.

Just some ideas:
Do you authenticate when doing ADSI interaction?
I guess you are not making use of the Global Catalog as per your example of $vDirPath. In any case have a peek at See How to Modify Attributes That Replicate to the Global Catalog
Try running your Powershell session with elevated user rights (Right-Click Run As Administrator)

Persistent error with Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException

I have been attempting to run commands from the AzureAD powershell module, but I am consistently getting Json errors.
The issue is so persistent no matter what commands I run, I am wondering if the Newtonsoft.Json package is misconfigured and needs to be reinstalled.
Example:
New-AzureADServiceAppRoleAssignment -Id "any id" -ResourceId "any id" -ObjectId "any id" -PrincipalID "any id"
Output:
Error reading JToken from JsonReader. Path '', line 0, position 0

Make sure you are using latest version of Newtonsoft.json.
if you are using lower version, try to uninstall and reinstall the latest version by below command:
Install-Module -Name newtonsoft.json -RequiredVersion 1.0.1.2
If the error is still persisting uninstall AzureAD module reinstall the AzureAD-Module confirm all the traffic can be passed the network policy (Firewall) .
Verify if you are using the latest version of Azure AD PowerShell module? Also, validate if your local machine's firewall is restricting the command? Or if you're connected to any VPN or organizational laptop.
If AzureAD module is already installed, Install new version(2.0.2.140).
Command:
Install-Module -Name AzureAD --Allowclobber

Getting "Specify which project file to use..." error when ef scaffolding

When I tried to execute scaffold command in PMC I am getting the following error :
dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "server=127.0.0.1:3308;uid=root;pwd=root;database=newtest_db" MySql.EntityFrameworkCore -o MySQLDataOperations -f
dotnet : Specify which project file to use because this 'D:\Projects\DotNet5_Docker' contains more than one project file.

Also executed by adding -p project name -s project name.
still repeating the same error.
Since this folder contains more than one projects and solution I have created a new project and tried the same then the error became below mentioned:
dotnet : Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
At line:1 char:1

Possible reasons for this include:
You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-ef does not exist.
You intended to run a
global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.
I am using Visual Studio 2019. Tried the same in Powershell also. My intention is to implement data base first approach from an already existing MySQL data base using MySQL.Data.EntityframeworkCore

System.EnterpriseServies.Wrapper.dll missing in Powershell Work Flow

I run Server 2008 R2 as a workstation (mainly to get Hyper-V IIS 7.5). I’ve been playing around with this system for a while and it’s hardly pure! ;-)
Today, I loaded the latest set of patches, and took the reboot opportunity to add the rtm version of PowerShell v3. I duly removed the PowerShell V3 beta, applied the monthly patches, rebooted, then added the new version of PowerShell and rebooted again.
However, I now have an issue: Anytime I try to run a workflow, I get:
PSH [C:\foo]: Provision-AD # Run the workflow
The workflow ' Provision-AD ' could not be started: Could not load file or assembly 'System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll' or one of its
dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

+ throw (New-Object System.Management.Automation.ErrorRecord $ ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (System.Manageme...etersDictionary:PSBoundParametersDictionary) [], RuntimeException

The solution was easy. I did a re-install of the .NET Framework 4.0 and all is now well!

Problems using SQL Server 2008 R2 PowerShell extensions outside of SQLPS

I would like to have the SQL Server PowerShell extensions available to me whenever I start PowerShell by loading the snap-ins in my profile.ps1 script. I found an article here with a script example that shows how to do this, and this works fine on my 32-bit Windows XP box.
Unfortunately, on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine, this blows up. If I try to launch this script with the 64-bit PowerShell, I get:
Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 2.
At C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1:84 char:13
+ Add-PSSnapin <<<< SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (SqlServerCmdletSnapin100:String
[Add-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddPSSnapinCommand
If I run this instead in a 32-bit PowerShell, I get:
Get-ItemProperty : Cannot find path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds \Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PowerShell.sqlps' because it does not exist.
At C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1:39 char:29
+ $item = Get-ItemProperty <<<< $sqlpsreg
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (HKLM:\SOFTWARE\...owerShell.sqlps:String) [Get-ItemProperty], ItemNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemPropertyCommand
I'd like to be able to run this in a 64-bit PowerShell if possible. To this end, I tracked down what I thought was the Powershell extension dlls and in a 64-bit Administrator elevated PowerShell I ran:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn"
installutil Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSProvider.dll
installutil Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSSnapins.dll
No dice. Although installutil seemed to indicate success, I still get the "No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 2" error message when I run the script.
Anyone have any suggestions as to where I go from here?
I've used this script without issue on x64 machines. The problem with the x86 invocation is that the script looks for registry keys which on an x64 instance are only accessible from x64 PowerShell. For the x64 invocation you could try registering the snapins since that is the error message you're receiving. Run as administrator...
Change this:
cd $sqlpsPath
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100
to this:
cd $sqlpsPath
$framework=$([System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment]::GetRuntimeDirectory())
Set-Alias installutil "$($framework)installutil.exe"
installutil Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSSnapins.dll
installutil Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PSProvider.dll
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100
An even better solution is not use add-pssnapin instead turn sqlps into a module. I have blog post here:
http://sev17.com/2010/07/10/making-a-sqlps-module
Update for SQL Server 2012 - now ships a sqlps module you can install instead of the above blog: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35580
I realise this is a bit of an older question but with a stock standard Windows and SQL Server 2012 install you can just directly use the command Invoke-Sqlcmd without loading anything beforehand as it will auto import the sqlps module. However letting it do that will often cause issues so import the module yourself with the lines below in the same place in your code as you used to use the add-pssnapin commands
$cur = Get-Location
Import-Module 'sqlps' –DisableNameChecking
Set-Location $cur
Similar to that posted on this MS web forum.
The import-module line above changes the current path to something that makes UNC path strings like "\\server\share\path\filename.ext" not work with lots of cmd-lets. So we store the current path before and change it back after the import-module command.
It's possible the snapin assemblies are compiled for x86 only due to dependencies on native 32bit SMO COM objects. If it was possible to run them in a 64bit shell, I'm pretty sure MS would have shipped both x86 and x64 management shells.
