Description
We are trying to create a restore point on remote machine (windows). We could see the batch script is executed but not the power shell script which is indirectly called inside batch script.
So we suspect the issue can be while running a script which in turn calls another script.
Please note when we manually execute the batch script, it successfully executes powershell script as well.
The issue occurs when we try to run the batch script using SSHLibrary Execute/Start command.
**Host machine (robot file):**
Create Windows Restore Point
Open Connection 129.xxx.xxx.xxx timeout=1 hour
Login xxxx xxxx
Execute Command D:\\CreateWindowsRestorePoint.bat
**Remote machine (bat file)**
echo Started
cd "%~dp0"
PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList '-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ""D:\CreateWindowsRestorePoint.ps1""' -Verb RunAs}"
echo Ended
**Remote machine (ps1 file)**
Enable-ComputerRestore -Drive "C:\"
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore" /V "SystemRestorePointCreationFrequency" /T REG_DWORD /D 0 /F

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Robot Framework Execute Command call for D:\CreateWindowsRestorePoint.bat and compare it with manual execution on the Windows host. Inspect the batch file's invocation of D:\CreateWindowsRestorePoint.ps1 and SSHLibrary's remote command execution; done means the PowerShell script runs through the batch file and creates the restore point.
