      Job fails with error "Cannot process argument because the value of argument "initialSessionState" is null"

      Issue

      Jobs fail with the error message

      Cannot process argument because the value of argument "initialSessionState" is null. 

      German Translation

      Das Argument kann nicht verarbeitet werden, da der Wert des Arguments "initialSessionState" NULL ist. 

      Cause

      The exact cause is unknown, though it seems to be related to running multiple processes of either "powerJobs.exe", "JobProcessor.exe" or "Connectivity.JobProcessor.Delegate.Host.exe".

      One way to create multiple instances is to start powerJobs with multiple users. This will circumvent the single instance check.

      Solution

      • Close all instances of "powerJobs.exe", "JobProcessor.exe" and "Connectivity.JobProcessor.Delegate.Host.exe"
      • Start powerJobs.exe
