In order to learn the complex event processing, I have started looking into Microsoft StreamInsight lately. My first impressions of the StreamInsight is so far good and it looks promising.

To the point of this post, I downloaded the StreamInsight example from the codeplex and tried to run it locally (I’ve SQL 2008 R2 & StreamInsight already installed on Windows 7 Pro). I get the following error:

AuthorizationManager check failed

I bang my head for a while to find out the cause of this but couldn’t resolve the issue. Then I finally got it working correctly.

Problem/Solution: All the PowerShell files (*.ps1 when you extract HOL1 & HOL2) are unblocked for some reasons and that’s why when you  run hol1\Setup\Setup.cmd, it throws the above error. So, before you extract the zip (Source_HOL1.zip, etc.), un-unblock (right click, properties, “Unblock”) the zip file itself and it should be viola!

Hope this saves someone else some time!

  Powershell files and other executables are blocked when they are downloaded from Internet. You need to unblock on the file/folder properties. This bit me quite a few times.
