Also the two jobs that failed due to a handshake issue spawned at the same time? Could be this be a collision error? @Patrick Ouimet

We reviewed our EDR logs and nothing was interfering or blocking these processes from running. 

Not sure if this is related to our issues as well. We are on a different version though. https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/57219/job-timout-issue#247681

Do you have an email i send you those logs? I got your email for the file upload but its making me create an account and  MFA and all that jaz

The system log that covers one failed job, from %ProgramData%\PowerShellUniversal\Logs\System, with the time of the failure.

• I have attached the logs. The job that failed was "Boarding\Get-TerminatedEmployees.ps1"

  ```

Whether the failing jobs use a Run As credential, and which environment they run in, for example PowerShell 7 or Windows PowerShell 5.1.

• This is running from powershell 7 and not using a run as

Whether PowerShell Universal runs as a Windows service or under IIS, and how many nodes share the SQL database.

• Psu runs as service. 1 node 

Roughly how many jobs start at the same time when the failures happen, and whether the failures cluster at certain times or on one node.

• This is a child job that is called by "Boarding\Process-BHRTermsList.ps1" which is a scheduled job that runs at midnight on the 1st and the 15th of each month 

• I asked copilot to summarize my schedules.ps1...

  Yep — in  .universal\schedules.ps1  I counted:

  • • Total scheduled jobs: 42

  • • Scheduled at midnight (00:00): 15

  • • Scheduled at the same time as at least one other job: 29 jobs across 5 shared time slots

  • Shared slots I found:

  • •  0 0 ...  → 15 jobs

  • •  0 8 ...  → 7 jobs

  • •  0 6 ...  → 3 jobs

  • •  0 */2 ...  → 2 jobs

  • •  0 7 ...  → 2 jobs

When this started, and whether anything changed around that time, such as an upgrade, an antivirus update, new schedules or server changes..

•  Nothing changed.

I sent the email yesterday afternoon

Currently running 2026.2.5 in prod with sql as the backend and we started randomly getting the following.

Error executing job: PowerShell did not respond in a timely fashion. PowerShell Universal is currently waiting 120 seconds for PowerShell to start running the script. You can increase the timeout by setting the 'Job Handshake Timeout' setting in the Settings \ General \ Automation page. If you are still experiencing issues, you may need to consider increasing the resources available on your system or take advantage of the Random Delay parameter for schedules to stagger jobs.

We can usually just re-run these jobs but this is a workaround at best.

I think you guys are following the same dark mode as the other devolutions products, but I do prefer how vscode and other apps use a darker tone. Devolutions is bluer. Maybe we could have a theme picker?

@michaelhanson1458 As in the syntax highlighting or the UI in general?

@Adam Driscoll

I think its the blue shade mainly.

This could use some work

Better dark theme support for admin console

Thank you for the update

I have been using pages within psu apps and when using cmdlets like the following

$job = get-psujob -id 1234123 -Integrated

$Job = Invoke-PSUScript -Name "test"

in the page i get the following

This works fine on 2026.2.5 but does not work on 2026.3.0

yes sir

Done

Sweet thanks

Sweet. Thanks

No this was found in my dev instance of PSU. However, its running the same version of psu and the only difference is one is prod is using sql and dev is sqlite

Sent you the email.

Thanks dude

Thanks

I think it would be nice to see how large a specific cache item is in the DB. for example how large is your dataset for something like caching all ad user objects
