Q:

How to fix 'Failure in `windows_configure_web_node.py FileNotFoundError`

I'm trying to configure Microsoft Machine Learning Server (9.4) to work on my local computer.
I'm getting stuck at following this instruction:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/machine-learning-server/operationalize/configure-machine-learning-server-one-box
at
# With elevated privileges, run the following commands.
# Set up both nodes on one machine
 az mlserver admin node setup --onebox --admin-password <Password> --confirm-password <Password>

I have tried to reinstall the machine learning server (not including R), same results.
This is the error message that is shown when trying to configure the machine learning server:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>az mlserver admin bootstrap
Admin password:
Confirm admin password:

Has someone else already encountered/solved that issue?
Thank you very much!

A:

I was able to find the solution for my problems.
My system could not find powershell.exe, as it was not added to the PATH environment variable.
By adding a reference to
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

I could get the server up and running.
