import citrix policy fails when run from Azure DevOps with Invoke-VMScript

[Janus Stampe]

I am trying to import citrix policies, in an automated setup, using the SDK's
The script is working fine, when run manually on the DDC, but when i run it from AzureDevOps with the Invoke-VMScript, it failes, due to missing the psdrive i assume. 

I am guessing there is some session issue, being the problem. 

The script is run with domain admin credentials, on the VM. 

and its pretty simple:
 

    Add-PSSnapin Citrix*
    Import-module 'C:\Program Files\CITRIX\Telemetry Service\TelemetryModule\Citrix.GroupPolicy.Commands.psm1'
    New-psdrive -name LocalFarmGpo -psprovider CitrixGroupPolicy -Controller localhost \
    Import-CtxGroupPolicy C:\temp\CitrixCVAD\Files\Policies\CTXPOL_ClientDrive_2012R2_Prod\
    Import-CtxGroupPolicy C:\temp\CitrixCVAD\Files\Policies\CTXPOL_2012R2_Prod\

 

The invoke script, run from the agent vm, has the credentials. 

 

#connect
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -ParticipateInCeip $false -Confirm:$false
Connect-VIServer -Server $VMwareConfig.VMwareServer -Credential $VMcredentials
#getvmname
$VMName =Get-VM -Name $VMwareConfig.GuestMachine
try{
    $VMName | Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText 'C:\temp\citrixCVAD\12_CitrixPolicies_Config.ps1' -ScriptType Powershell -GuestCredential $SomethingSomehingCredentials
} 
catch
{

    if ($_.Exception.Message -like '*The guest operations agent could not be contacted*') {
        Write-Host "OK"
    } else {
        Write-Host "Something went wrong"
    }
    
}

 

The output i am getting is:
