This page discusses known issues and troubleshooting steps for Microsoft Codename "Trust Services" Lab

If you have an issue not resolved here, Azure Labs Support Forum is a good place to ask questions about Trust Services. You can also email Trust Services team about your experience with the lab: TrustServC@microsoft.com.

Error when starting Trust Services Shell

Problem: You start Trust Services Shell (TrustServicePS.bat) and get one of the following errors:

1. Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.SqlAzure.Trust.EcmPSLib' is not installed on this machine.
2. Add-PSSnappin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows Powershell version 2.

Possible cause 1: This may happen at the end of installation if you launched the MSI file directly from 32-bit IE or from a 32-bit command prompt (or another 32-bit shell, like FAR Manager).
Solution: You can safely ignore this error. Close the launched command line window and start Trust Services Shell using the shortcut on the desktop or in the Start Menu.

Possible cause 2: This may happen if you installed 64-bit Trust Services, but try to run TrustServicePS.bat from 32-bit command prompt (or another 32-bit shell, like FAR Manager).
Solution 1: Use the desktop or Start Menu shortcuts (created by the installer) to launch the Trust Services Shell, or launch a 64-bit command prompt and run TrustServicePS.bat in it.
Solution 2: If you do need to use Trust Services from 32-bit programs, install 32-bit Trust Services, even if you have 64-bit OS. It is OK to have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Trust Services installed side-by-side on a single machine.

Samples build error

Problem: You may get an error when building samples.
Possible cause: the SDK path is different from the path used by sample.
Solution:

• Open project properties, switch to Reference Paths tab
• Add BIN folder from the Trust Service SDK installation directory to reference paths
  This folder should look something like: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Trust Services Lab SDK and Shell (x64)\bin
• Save project, build

  Trust Services SDK Installation Failure

  Problem: During setup you get an error popup "There was a problem with this installer package. A program run ... did not finish as expected ..."
  Possible cause: There was an incorrect MSI available at the download site initially.
  Solution: Re-download the installer from Trust Services SDK download page.

  Debugging PowerShell errors

  Problem: While using the "New-Ecm" or "New-SqlEcm" cmd lets, you might get the error "System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
  Possible cause: Not easy to figure out with the generic error message that is thrown. It could be communication error, bad input, etc. Need a way to see inner exception to understand the real issue.
  Solution:
  After the error occurs, run the following command to display complete error details:
  $error | fl -Force

  Here "$error" is the inbuilt variable that stores the default errors occurred in the current session. In the command above we are asking to display a full listing of the errors. If you would like to clear all the errors to avoid noise you can run $error.clear() method and repro the problem again.

  Connections Errors

  Problem: You get connection errors to Trusts Services web endpoint.
  
  For example, from PowerShell window you may get the following error:
  
  New-Ecm : Error occured while communicating with Trust Services: There was no endpoint listening at https://trustservicesapi2.cloudapp.net/WcfCertFed.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.. Activity ID : f620c7c7-31d9-451d-99c2-4b666dcc5536
  At TrustPortTest.ps1:28 char:12
  +     New-Ecm <<<<  -Admin -ServerName $trustServerName -ServerUrl $trustServiceUrl `
      + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [New-Ecm], EcmTSAvailabilityException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SqlAzure.Trust.EcmExceptions.EcmTSAvailabilityException,Microsoft.SqlAzure.Trust.EcmPSLib.NewEcmCommand
  
  Possible cause: Your corporate firewall or proxy might be blocking outbound https connections to port 4433 used by Trust Services Web Service.
  Solution 1: Reconfigure the firewall or proxy. Verify that you can access the above URL from a browser window.
