I have a AWS cloudforamtion - whih build my entire VPC with subnets etc - within this CF builds a windows 2012 server - we want to bootstrap this server under user data so it become a domain controller. All our ps1 scripts are hosted on github. under user data i have entered as below

"<powershell>n",
 "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Forcen",
 "Rename-Computer AWSAD10 -restartn",
 "Start-Sleep -s 100n",
 "$url = "https://github.com/username/gittest/blob/testinggit/NewAD.ps1" n",
 "(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, 'C:\Windows\Temp\NewAD.ps1')n",

the commands to rename the computer works OK - here what is not working the NewAD.PS1 script which is hosted on git - when i run this script on local server all works OK so it promotes to AD by running local however the pull from git is not working - I have also tried:

$trueInvoke-WebRequest -Uri "$trueInvoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.github.com/cloudbase/unattended-setup-scripts/master/UpdateAndSysprep.ps1" n",

Any ideas please as I have one week try to figure out how i can do this? and is not much out there how to get this working

Here is an example how I got it working

"UserData" : "Fn::Base64" : "Fn::Join" : ["", [
 "<powershell>n",
 "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Forcen",
 "Set-Content -Path C:\OnPremDG.ps1 -Value "(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile( 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/D/A/1/DA1FDDB8-6DA8-4F50-B4D0-18019591E182/GatewayInstall.exe', 'c:\GatewayInstall.exe' )`r`n& c:\GatewayInstall.exe /Q" -forcen"
 "</powershell>"]]

Left is a command to run the bloody script :))) (i had it working but lost the command during one of the tests)

Check the log of the scripts at: C:ProgramDataAmazonEC2-WindowsLaunchLog
The actual script is found in C:WindowsTempUserScript.ps1
You will see the default directory the powershell is at the moment of run is C:WindowsTemp ... AWS should update their documentation with info regarding this.
