PowerShell Script breaks after upgrading to build 5.4.x (4036495)

PowerShell scripts are not working properly after upgrading to AppAssure Core build 5.4.x. Specifically, if the PS script references the "Get-ProtectedServers" method.

NOTE: Quest support of PowerShell scripting for AppAssure: https://support.quest.com/appassure/kb/119405

This is how it looks in 5.4.x; it needs to be combined with an object returned by Get-RecoveryPoints.

For example:

# (Get-ProtectedServers)[0] | fl

DisplayName      : w2012-0

Version          : 5.4.1.77

Status           : Online

NextSnapshot     : 8/27/2014 11:00:00 AM

IsPaused         : False

HasEncryptionKey : False

RepositoryName   : Repository 1

# Get-RecoveryPoints -ProtectedServer w2012-0 -Number 1

Number State    Display Name

------ -----    ------------

WORKAROUND:

Modify your scripts to use the Get-RecoveryPoints method.

EXAMPLE:

param ($file="D:\AppAssureScripts\LastRP.txt")

$reportdate=Get-date

$title = "Newest Recovery Points as of $($reportdate.ToString("MMMM dd yyyy"))"

$uline = "-" * $title.length

Write-Host "`r`n`r`n$title`r`n$uline"

$agents = get-protectedservers | sort-object -property displayname

$RPs = @()

foreach ($agent in $agents){

   Write-host "Getting info for " -f Blue

   $r = get-recoverypoints -protectedserver ($agent.displayname) -number l1 #-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

   $z = $r | Select-Object -property AgentHostName,DateTimeStamp,Number,AgentVolumes

   $line=[pscustomobject]@{ServerName=$agent.displayName;Status=$agent.status;Number=$z.Number; AgentVolumes=$z.AgentVolumes;LatestRecoveryPoint=($z.DateTimeStamp).tolocaltime()}

   $RPs +=$line

}

write-output $RPs 

$table = $RPs | ft ServerName, Status, LatestRecoveryPoint, Number, AgentVolumes -AutoSize -Wrap | out-string

$table
