System Center Service Management Automation (SMA) PowerShell Runbook Invoke-NcSsh : The system cannot find the file specified

Question

Tried to run a powershell script inside System Center Service Management Automation (SMA) to query some informations from NetApp. The following command was used:

Invoke-NcSsh -Command "node run -node $Node sysconfig -a"

I was able to run the command successfully directly inside the PowerShell ISE on the runbook workers (NetApp_PowerShell_Toolkit_9.6.0 and putty-64bit-0.73 installed). But as soon as I was running the runbook as a SMA job it failed with the following error:

Invoke-NcSsh: The system cannot find the file specified + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:) [Invoke-NcSsh], Win32Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception,DataONTAP.C.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Toolkit.Ssh.InvokeNcSsh
