I am not sure, but it would certainly appear so. Does everything else function correctly in the legacy sites?

Cheers!

Actually, no. I just tried to query for some other native Nintex action and I am getting the same thing I see with the Powershell action. What does it mean to "Contact your administrator to enable"? If I know how to do this, I think I can get the Powershell custom action working, too. I cannot find instructions on how to resolve this.

Thank you for your attention!

In Central Administration there should be a section where you can manage Nintex Actions. I suspect that you need to click the checkboxes for the actions that you wish to enable for the farm.

Note: You should be able to break permission inheritance for this at various stages of the hierarchy if you need more granular control later on.

Try replacing localhost with the machine name.

Cheers!

We have the same Problem We cant call SharePoint Objects:

Cannot access the local farm. Verify that the local farm is properly configured, currently available, and that you have the appropriate permissions to access the database before trying again.

Did you find any solution

Does this solution require PSRemoting?

Hi Richard,

This solution requires Microsoft WinRM framework to function.

Any plans to move this project elsewhere when codeplex shuts down? or should I save my copy in my virtual safebox?

Hi ‌

any chance to get this working with nintex 2016 ?

But what do I insert in the "PowerShell Script" richt text box, when my PS script is laying on the server?

 already tried:

C:FolderSubfolderScript.ps1 -Param1 "NintexWFVar"  -Param2 "NintexWFItemProp"

...but nothing happens.

I hope u understand what I mean.

Can somebody give me a hint please?

I my powershell script I have....

Function myFunc

{

....do something....

}

Export-ModuleMember -function myFunc

Then in the workflow action i do:

Import-Module -name c:fullpathfile.name myFunc -param1 "value" -param2 "value"

/Martin

Thanks for the fast reply.

Unfortunately this does not work in my case and I am not getting any errors.

When I simply open the shell on the server and paste C:FolderSubfolderScript.ps1 -Param1 "NintexWFVar"  -Param2 "NintexWFItemProp", the script will execute as expected.

Could it be any reason my script is designed?

This is my script::

param(
    [string]$DestWebURL,
    [string]$PCGroup,
    [string]$ProductName
)
if(!(Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ea 0))
{
Write-Progress -Activity "Loading Modules" -Status "Loading Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
}
function AddFileShareLink{
    #Get Web
    $w = Get-SPWeb $DestWebURL
    #Get Placeholder
    $node = $w.Navigation.Quicklaunch | where {$_.Title -eq "FS2Link Placeholder"}
    
    #Check Placeholder Existence
    if($node){
        #Build FS-Link
        $fsLink = "file://fs2srv/_SP_Product_Center/" + $PCGroup + "/" + $ProductName
        $fsLinkName = "FS2SRV " + $ProductName;
        $fsNode = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Navigation.SPNavigationNode($fsLinkName, $fsLink)
        
        #Add to Quicklaunch
        $w.Navigation.Quicklaunch.AddAsLast($fsNode)
        #Move New Node Position
        $fsNode.Move($w.Navigation.QuickLaunch, $node)
        $node.Delete()
    }
}
AddFileShareLink

Hi

Don't know if you got it working in the meantime, but I realize I forgot to mention my script is in a .psm file, powershell script module, and please pay notice to the -ExportModuleMember after the main function.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply. I tested a simple Script which accesses the SP PS CMD-Lets and should just return me the list count of the website.

I tried it with a normal *.ps1 and your variation as ps module, but both weren´t working.

Here is the module code:

Param(
    [string]$Url
)

function TestMe{
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

$w = Get-SPWeb($Url)
$count = $w.Lists.Count

return $count
}
Export-ModuleMember -function TestMe

Here the line i wrote in the ntx wf action:

Import-Module -Name C:BatchTestMe.psm TestMe -Url "http://intranet"

The funny thing at this point is, when i only let the action return the SPWeb-Object, it works:

But trying to access the properties of the SPWeb object is never working. Can anyone explain this?

Hi Aaron Labiosa‌,

Hey Aaron Labiosa‌,

we have a problem to deploy the custom action at our farm (SharePoint 2013).

We try to deploy it with the farm administrator.

The problem is, that in the downloaded "ntx"-zip-file isn't the powershell script or a .wsp-file.

I found the powershell script in the wiki, but as I said, there isn't a wsp-file aynwhere.

Can you or someone else please help us?

Hi Guys,

I'm stuck at the same exact spot... get-spweb doesn't seem to return anything through the action.  Where you able to figure this out?

Thanks

Mike

The same functionality available in O365? Or any other alternatives for the same in Nintex O365? 

I was able to get it working, it comes down to having the right DB permissions.

Only on prem as far as this action goes. 

Thanks. No other alternatives to using PowerShell script in Nintex O365 workflow?

Hey ‌,

have you found a solution for the missing wsp/installer?

Hey ‌,

unfortunately no.

Hi Aaron,

              I have downloaded the source code but there is not wsp file in it to install. Can you please guide me where to found the wsp to install.

Many Thanks

If you are wanting a WSP, do not use the source code. You would need to use one of the release files.
