Trouble with ESP getting correct status in spool file after windows server upgrade to 2022

[Keith Grizzell]

Upgrading one of our model servers and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing any issues withe ESP getting the correct return from a PowerShell script. Trying to figure out if this an ESP Agent issue or on the job owners side. We are using  workload automation system agent 12..0. and windows server was recently upgrade to windows server 2022 and we are seeing some interesting spool files. The jobs are submitting but in the spool file you can see a couple of access denied messages followed by a couple of job already running messages then more access denied messages and finally a successful execution. Has anyone else encountered this issues with agent 12.0 and windows server 2022? Worked just fine before upgrade. When working with job owner they state job starts executes and shows completion on their side. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. What is really weird is that we would get an access error and then the job would run, I would think an access error would be fatal. Example below

Hi Keith,
We haven't found any open issues with System Agent 12.0 on Windows Server 2022.
The System Agent only writes the header information to the spool file. For your job run, the header portion is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Output of messages for workload object OSMCCCFD/MDLCOR05.290532/MAIN

Start date 06/10/2025 10:26:05.432-0400

----------------------------------------------------------------

The remaining messages in the spool file are generated by the PowerShell script used in the job definition. 

This indicates that the Agent itself is not accessing any files related to the "Access denied" errors in the spool file.

The reason the job is completing with a "success" status, despite the access denied errors, is because the PowerShell script is returning a success code, as shown below:

Batch status is completed
Success : true

We recommend checking with the owner of the PowerShell script, D:\CYB_jobs\esp_powershell_batch_scripts\CC_Powershell_Call_BatchWithStatus.ps1, to identify what resources it is accessing that are causing the "access denied" errors.

Thanks,
Venkat D (System Agent Team)

Hi Venkat, thanks for the information I have reached out to the owner of the PowerShell and asked them to review their script
