    It seems like the error is happening in line 24 and character 13
    I haven't really used Powershell in PAD but try this:

    I googled and someone seemed to have similar problem and said that it was something about Powershell not supporting TLS1.2 but their web server was using that.
    And they added this line to make it work:

    [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
