Job Service health check: UseBasicParsing missing

What version of powershell are you running ( Use $PSVersionTable)

Hi Alex,

PSVersion is 4.0. BuildVersion is 6.3.9600.17400. 

Looks like the UserBasicParsing property was only added to Invoke-RestMethod in Powershell 5.0

If you find the two occurrences of the following line in the healthcheck

Invoke-RestMethod $url -UseBasicParsing

And remove the -UseBasicParsing parameter, it should work with Powershell 3 & 4.

Thanks, Alex! That fixes those two errors.

The only remaining problem ("minor annoyance" might be more apt) is line checking the Job Service running status. In the PowerShell script around line 198, it's expecting the status string to be "Running" in order to pass the check, but in my environment (Win2012r2), the status of the running service is returning "OK", so I get an error stating that the service is not running even though it is.

Hmm... looks like the service Status property is returning "OK" whether the service is running or not. 

Can you try the following:

Sure! Here are the results of your script, renamed HealthCheck2.ps1 so I could run it from the same directory:
