Environment

NinjaOne Endpoint Management

Cause

This issue can occur when a 32-bit script is attempting to run in a 64-bit environment.

Resolution

To verify the syntax and validity of the command, you can attempt to run the same command locally on your device. If the command runs successfully, try using the following Microsoft value to run the command via NinjaOne CLI in a sysnative environment:

%WINDIR%sysnative<YourCommand>

Replace your command with the original command that you wish to run.

If the issue you are experiencing is not listed above, or if you need further assistance after attempting the recommended troubleshooting steps, please contact Ninja Support.
