Commands and jobs blocked in Running state when powershell selected as shell on Windows Server 2019

[igalvit]

I have several Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2019 servers in the same project. When I configure the executing node to use as a powershell shell and try to execute with a simple command like hostname or ls c:, on 2019 servers the command stays running all the time. I have to kill the job.

If I configure the shell as cmd and run the command ipconfig /all it runs without problems.

When I set the shell to powershell and run WinRM Check stop from both a job and bash it runs without problems either. I have checked the WinRM configuration and it is the same on all Windows servers.

I have updated the plugin to 2.0.8 downloading from this repository and I get the same errors.

I've been running tests with the pywinrm library and have been able to reproduce the problem.

import winrm

ps_script = """$strComputer = $Host
Clear
$RAM = WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem
$MB = 1048576

"Installed Memory: " + [int]($RAM.TotalPhysicalMemory /$MB) + " MB" """

s = winrm.Session('https://<SERVER_FQDN>:5986/wsman', auth=('<USER>@<DOMAIN>', '<PASSWORD>'),transport='kerberos',server_cert_validation='ignore')
r = s.run_ps(ps_script)
