It seems you are trying to use the `openssl` command in PowerShell, but it is not recognized. This is likely because OpenSSL is not installed on your Windows machine, or it is not in your system's PATH.

To resolve this, you need to install OpenSSL on your machine. Here are the steps to do so:

1. **Download and Install OpenSSL:**

   - Go to the [OpenSSL website](https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html).
   - Download the appropriate installer for your system (most likely "Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.1" for 64-bit systems).
   - Run the installer and follow the installation instructions.

2. **Add OpenSSL to Your System PATH:**

   - After installing OpenSSL, you need to add it to your system PATH to make it accessible from the command line.
   - Open the Start Menu, search for "Environment Variables," and select "Edit the system environment variables."
   - In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
   - In the Environment Variables window, find the "Path" variable in the "System variables" section, and click "Edit."
   - Click "New" and add the path to the OpenSSL `bin` directory (e.g., `C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin`).
   - Click "OK" to close all windows.

3. **Verify the Installation:**

   - Open a new PowerShell or Command Prompt window.
   - Run the command `openssl version` to verify that OpenSSL is installed correctly.

Once OpenSSL is installed and added to your PATH, you should be able to run the `openssl s_client -connect S2WPPSQL04ORN:17778` command without any issues.

The error you're encountering indicates that OpenSSL is trying to connect to the specified server and port (`S2WPPSQL04ORN:17778`) but is failing to do so. This could be due to several reasons:

1. **Incorrect Server Name or Port:**
   - Ensure that `S2WPPSQL04ORN` is the correct hostname and `17778` is the correct port for the service you're trying to connect to.

2. **Network Issues:**
   - Verify that your machine can reach `S2WPPSQL04ORN` on port `17778`. You can test this by using the `telnet` command or another network tool:
     ```powershell
     telnet S2WPPSQL04ORN 17778
     ```
   - If `telnet` is not installed, you can enable it via "Turn Windows features on or off."

3. **Firewall or Security Settings:**
   - Ensure that there are no firewall rules or security settings blocking the connection to `S2WPPSQL04ORN` on port `17778`.

4. **Server Configuration:**
   - Confirm that the server `S2WPPSQL04ORN` is correctly configured to accept connections on port `17778`.

5. **Service Availability:**
   - Check if the service you are trying to connect to is up and running on the specified server and port.

Here are some steps to diagnose and troubleshoot further:

1. **Check Network Connectivity:**
   ```powershell
   ping S2WPPSQL04ORN
   ```

2. **Check Port Availability Using `Test-NetConnection`:**
   ```powershell
   Test-NetConnection -ComputerName S2WPPSQL04ORN -Port 17778
   ```

3. **Use `telnet` to Check the Port:**
   ```powershell
   telnet S2WPPSQL04ORN 17778
   ```

4. **Review Firewall Settings:**
   - Ensure that there are no inbound or outbound firewall rules blocking the connection.

5. **Ensure Service is Running:**
   - Verify that the service you are trying to connect to is running on `S2WPPSQL04ORN` and is listening on port `17778`.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing the OpenSSL connection.
