Successful Script deployment but Atera shows failed - No output

alexmendez

Basically the title - I made a PS script and ran it from Atera on a machine which I had next to me physically. The script worked and it did what it was supposed to, but the Atera console showed no output and said the deployment failed. Not sure why, any help would be appreciated!

I think this happens if it either times out, or if you don't have an output on the script. Can you supply the script at all? just so i can help?

@AlexYoungNSM Here is the script - The script panel window did say timed out after a while, so that might be it.
