PowerShell Gallery is currently unavailable

Recently working on an automation in windows server I got this issue and my automation got stopped.

Generally by this error you will know the server is unable to reach out to the PSGallery.

ERROR

[DBG]: PS C:\Users\nagarro>> Get-PSGalleryApiAvailability -Repository PSGallery
VERBOSE: Error in executing
PowerShell Gallery is currently unavailable.  Please try again later.

Resolution

So 2 things which can be done here is:

1. [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol

Run this command to check whether the tls1.2 is enabled or not. I f it is not listed just run this command-

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

    

2. Sometimes the internet explorer first configuration due to security reason my cause this issue.

So you need to open the PS gallery in the IE and add these sites as a exception.

You can also disable the config in the registry setting of IE.

I was able to solve the issue by these steps. Do let me know what was you experience with this error?

Thanks for reading!
