$ie = New-Object -ComObject 'internetExplorer.Application'
$ie.Visible= $true # Make it visible

$username="username"

$password="password"

$ie.Navigate("https://domain.com/login")

$usernamefield = $ie.document.getElementByID('lemail')
$usernamefield.value = "$username"

$passwordfield = $ie.document.getElementByID('password')
$passwordfield.value = "$password"

$Link = $ie.document.getElementByID('login')
$Link=$ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("button") | where-object {$_.type -eq "Log In"}

Hi,

In your source file, "Log In" is not the type of the button but the text of the span. See if this works for you.

 $link = $ie.document.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('span') | where-Object {$_.textContent -eq 'Log In' }
 $link.click()

Hi,

Try simulating keyboard input SendKeys

 do {
     Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
 }
 while ($ie.busy)
 [void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'Microsoft.VisualBasic")
 [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("Internet Explorer")
 [void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'System.Windows.Forms")
 [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::Sendwait("{RIGHT}{RIGHT}{ENTER}")
