Ivanti Automation (formally known as RES Automation) and PowerShell work very well together. By using PowerShell from within Ivanti Automation we are able to talk to any system that utilize a REST full API.

The Task for Powershell does only allow for all the screen output of a script to be placed in one Automation parameter. To divide this output into multiple parameters the data had to be splited in Automation or in Ivanti Identity Director.

Since the release of Ivanti Automation 2018.1 (current version is 2018.1.1) it is now possible to place the output of multiple PowerShell variables in to various Automation parameters.

To do this from within your script you have to declare your parameter the following way:

$global:ParameterName
