Powershell SQL Timeout

Question

I have the following code

    ## - Get SQL Server Table data:
$SQLServer = 'random';
$Database = 'random';
$SqlQuery = 'EXEC [random].[LandMarkGlobalExport]';

## - Connect to SQL Server using non-SMO class 'System.Data':
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection;
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = `
"Server = $SQLServer; Database = $Database; Integrated Security = True";

$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand;
$SqlCmd.CommandText = $SqlQuery;
$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection;

## - Extract and build the SQL data object '$DataSetTable':
$SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter;
$SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd;
$DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet;
$SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet);
$DataSetTable = $DataSet.Tables["Table"];

## ---------- Working with Excel ---------- ##

## - Create an Excel Application instance:
$xlsObj = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application;

## - Create new Workbook and Sheet (Visible = 1 / 0 not visible)
$xlsObj.Visible = 0;
$xlsWb = $xlsobj.Workbooks.Add();
$xlsSh = $xlsWb.Worksheets.item(1);

## - Copy entire table to the clipboard as tab delimited CSV

However I am getting the following error

Exception calling "Fill" with "1" argument(s): "Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." At line:19 char:1

• $SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet);

•   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SqlException
  

For $SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet); - how can I stop the timout?

Any help appreciated

The issue turned out to be user permission to write the Excel file.
