Currently I am trying to deploy an ActiveGate and run Synthetics in a private location, but the powershell command does not seem to work.

```auto
provisioner "powershell" {<br> inline <span>= </span>[<br> <span>"Write-Output 'Installing Dynatrace ActiveGate into </span><span>${</span>var<span>.</span>synthetic_location_id<span>}</span><span> location and </span><span>${</span>var<span>.</span>dynatrace_group<span>}</span><span> group...'"</span>,<br> <span>"if (Test-Path 'C:/DeployTemp/Dynatrace-ActiveGate-Windows-x86-1.307.29.exe') {"</span>,<br> <span>" Start-Process -FilePath 'C:/DeployTemp/Dynatrace-ActiveGate-Windows-x86-1.307.29.exe' -Wait -ArgumentList 'ENABLE_SYNTHETIC=true --set-property=dt.synthetic.private_location_id==</span><span>${</span>var<span>.</span>synthetic_location_id<span>}</span><span> --set-group=</span><span>${</span>var<span>.</span>dynatrace_group<span>}</span><span>'"</span>,<br> <span>"} else {"</span>,<br> <span>" Write-Output 'Dynatrace ActiveGate installer not found.'"</span>,<br> <span>" exit 1"</span>,<br> <span>"}"<br></span>]<br>}

```

Hi&nbsp;[@asanchez\_tfal](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/87156)&nbsp;,

Since Monday Dynatrace is notifying issue related to v.1.307 for OA [Windows Hosts](https://dynatrace.status.io/pages/incident/546d8cb6af8407b6730000cb/67bbfa404655441f467a3118)&nbsp;(operational) and&nbsp;[Synthetic Activegate](https://dynatrace.status.io/pages/incident/546d8cb6af8407b6730000cb/67bcccbf7315e005d13e1ffc) (partial service disruption).

Maybe you should download AG 1.305 till the issue was fixed.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Elena.
