Solution

  • Instead of native getElementById method, use IHTMLDocument3_getElementById:

    $username="myname"
$password="mypass"
$url = "https://www.google.com/"
$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible = $true
$ie.navigate($url)
while($ie.Busy) { Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 }
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById("loginId").value = $username
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById("password").value = $password
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById("loginButton").click()

    It will show an alert stating "Login Name and Password combination is incorrect.".
