i confirm that i had the same issue also on 2016 server about IE first launch configuration.
And for the derprecated cmdlet , I switch to the new ones in my scripts.
New-FsrmFileScreenTemplate, New-FsrmFileScreen, New-FsrmFileGroup ......
this way i don't have problem.
By the way is there any way to check that the IE first launch configuration is done?

[nicecube]

It is sure because the Invoke-WebRequest command has a dependency on the Internet Explorer assemblies and are invoking it to parse the result as per default behaviour.

But this is only possible if you run your powershell scripts as the same windows user as whom you launched the IE with. The IE settings are stored under your current windows profile. So if you, like me run your task in a scheduler on a server as the SYSTEM user, this will not work.

So here you will have to change your scripts and add the -UseBasicParsing argument, $WebResponse = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -TimeoutSec 1800 -ErrorAction:Stop -Method:Post -Headers $headers -UseBasicParsing

David, You mentioned here that you have updated the script to use the new poweshell commands:

And for the derprecated cmdlet , I switch to the new ones in my scripts.
New-FsrmFileScreenTemplate, New-FsrmFileScreen, New-FsrmFileGroup ......
this way i don't have problem.

Would you mind sharing that with us? I would also like to test it with the new commands. I am also running server 2019.

Thanks.

You may want to look at my scripts as well. It is warning free on W2019 but it won't work on W2008. (OK, you shouldn't still be using W2008 anyway. EOL is in a few months.)
