PowerShell not executing script from SQL server

Question

I have a powershell script that I need to execute from a SQL server on a schedule. I don't think it matters, but in case it does, the script is sending the command to refresh a powerbi.com dataset. I can run it successfully locally and on one of my servers, but when I try it on the other one, I get the error below.

For clarification, the powershell versions match as well as the execution policies. I have listed them here:

PS Version 5.1.14409.1005

Execution Policy

Scope                ExecutionPolicy

Machine Policy       Undefined
User Policy          Undefined
Process              Undefined
CurrentUser          Undefined
LocalMachine         RemoteSigned

The error I get on one of the servers is below:

Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount : Failed to populate environments in settings
At
DatasetRefresh_NoParam_Simple.ps1:9
char:1
+ Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount -Credential $myCred
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (Microsoft.Power...IServiceAccount:ConnectPowerBIServiceAccount) [Connect-Po

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod], Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,Microsoft.PowerBI.Commands.Profile.InvokePowerBIRestMethod

I feel like there is a server setting that I'm missing, but I'm logged into both with admin credentials and running powershell as administrator. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT

I tried to run a different script to also show the other error I am getting.

\\BlahServerName\WorkSpace\PowerBI\BDW_Resources\Admin\DatasetRefresh_PS\DatasetRefresh_Param_onlyDataset.ps1 : File
\\BlahServerName\WorkSpace\PowerBI\BDW_Resources\Admin\DatasetRefresh_PS\DatasetRefresh_Param_onlyDataset.ps1 cannot be
loaded. The file
\\BlahServerName\WorkSpace\PowerBI\BDW_Resources\Admin\DatasetRefresh_PS\DatasetRefresh_Param_onlyDataset.ps1 is not
digitally signed. You cannot run this script on the current system. For more information about running scripts and
setting execution policy, see about_Execution_Policies at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess

This is the one I got too that led me to look at the execution policies, but if both of my servers have the same policy settings, why am I able to execute on one and not the other? (Again, I'm logged in as myself on both with admin privileges)

Answer 1

If you are executing it from SQL Server - I assume that is using SQL Agent?

Be aware of the context that SQL Server Agent executes in - have you created a SQL Agent Proxy using a defined credential to ensure the context?
