Import of password list fails with undetailed error

[BerndAbb]

Hi, I encountered an error, whilst importing password lists into the solution. Environment was one time a DC Server 2022 in German, VM and next try I used another DC Server 2022 English which is a physical machine, getting the same error.

The first password list was the rockyou repository, the second I tried had about 8mb.

Error: Import-CompromisedPasswords : Mindestens ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. In Zeile:1 Zeichen:1

• Import-CompromisedPasswords -Filename "C:\pwrep\rockyou.txt"

• 
  + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Import-CompromisedPasswords], AggregateException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.AggregateException,Lithnet.ActiveDirectory.PasswordProtection.PowerShell.ImportCo
  mpromisedPasswords

Any idea on this..? BR Bernd

Hi @BerndAbb

Can you reproduce the issue, and immediately run this command after to dump the whole exception for us to see

$Error[0].Exception.ToString()

[BerndAbb]

Hi @ryannewington Thank you very much for your quick response, did as you requested and digged out the following error:

I am going to erase the complete store content and will try a new import, will let you know then.

[ryannewington]

Something has locked open your store database while LPP is trying to read it.

If it's replicated with DFS-R, pause the replication group.

Try add an exclusion for your antivirus for the store folder.

[BerndAbb]

Am with you, I suspect DFS-R, will let you know the comeout. BR Bernd

[BerndAbb]

Alright, DFS-R was the issue, paused the replication, recreated the p folder for the passwords and brew a fresh hash repository, all went perfectly fine. Thank you very much and kudos for the great solution and support here!

[BerndAbb]

DFS-R had a file in access, pausing the replication solved the issue

[ryannewington]

Glad you got it sorted

I'll leave this one open as a task to improve that error message in a future version.

[BerndAbb]

Perfectly fine, good idea to improve the error message! All the best and thanks again!
