Create LoginAccount with PowerShell

Question

I'm trying to write a powershell script that create a LoginAccount for a windows user. That script will run directly on the server using the current user credential, which is a Vault Administrator. 
 Somehow, the call to AddLoginAccount never ends. Using the "same" code in a c# apps works fine. I'm wondering what is the problem here. 
 # Load M-Files API
$null = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Interop.MFilesAPI")

# Connect to M-Files Server
Write-Host "Connecting to Server 'localhost' ..."
$server = new-object MFilesAPI.MFilesServerApplicationClass
$serverConnection = $server.Connect()


# Read user info
Write-Host "Read user info"
$userInfo = $server.LoginAccountOperations.GetPersonalInformationFromDomain("MYDOMAIN\MYUSER")

$loginAccount = new-object MFilesAPI.LoginAccountClass
$loginAccount.Set([MFilesAPI.MFLoginAccountType]::MFLoginAccountTypeWindows, "MYDOMAIN", "MYUSER", [MFilesAPI.MFLoginServerRole]::MFLoginServerRoleLogIn, $userInfo.FullName, $userInfo.Email, [MFilesAPI.MFLicenseType]::MFLicenseTypeNamedUserLicense)

Write-Host "Create Login"
$server.LoginAccountOperations.AddLoginAccount( $loginAccount )

Hey Sebastien, following up with the updates from our latest review of this. There is a known issue related to the MFilesAPI.LoginAccountClass api call. We will be working on finding a resolution to this internally.

Hi Sebastien, 
 We've been unable to reproduce the behavior with your script, it seems to work as expected in our environment. This may be related to permissions. You mention the user is a Vault Admin, however, this action would require Server Administrator permissions. If this permission level isn't applied to the user then this would likely be why it's not working in your environment.
