Please makes sure these boxes are checked before submitting your issue (put an X between the brackets).

• Check that your Powershell version > 5.0 (Bonus point if you are using the latest version available)
• Check that you follow the instructions for installing the module

Also, please provide:

• Any instructions that may help to reproduce the problem
  When running a Powershell script command headless (for example via Azure Automation), the following Exception occurs.

Exception setting "WindowTitle": "A command that prompts the user failed because the host program or the command type do es not support user interaction. Try a host program that supports user interaction, such as the Windows PowerShell Conso le or Windows PowerShell ISE, and remove prompt-related commands from command types that do not support user interaction , such as Windows PowerShell workflows." At line:13 char:2 + $host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $strNewWindowTitle + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], SetValueInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExceptionWhenSetting

This seems to be caused by a tilebar update in the Connect-Unity command, which can only be performed when Powershell is executing interactively.

To reproduce, run this script via Azure Automation:

$UserName = 'xxxxxxx'
$SecurePassword = 'yyyyyyyyyyyy' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($UserName, $SecurePassword)
$IPAddress = 'ipipipipipip'
Connect-Unity -Server $IPAddress -Username $UserName -Password $SecurePassword -TrustAllCerts $true
