Powershell command on domain computers as administrator
Hi,
I want to execute a command on all computers in my domain but in order for it to work, it needs to run with elevated permissions.
Is there a possibility to do this?
my command:
get-winevent -filterXML([xml](Get-Content "C:\Execute\Inventorview.xml")) | sort timecreated -descending | export-csv c:\execute\result.csv
the response i get:
get-winevent : Could not retrieve information about the Security log. Error: Poging tot het uitvoeren van een niet-gema
chtigde bewerking..

(Poging tot het uitvoeren van een niet-gemachtigde bewerking... = dutch for 'trying to execute a non-authorized...')
Thanks in advance!
Have you verified this command on a computer where you have administrator level access?
If it provides the information you require, it's a matter of having admin access to all computers and launching PS under that user's context.get-winevent has a -credential parameter you can use.
Animesh Joshi I have verified this command with an admin account.
Can you run a scheduled task to all computers to run this script as an admin?
I'ts the first time that i'm trying anything like this so it's all kind of new for me.
- Yes you can create a scheduled task to run on any number of remote computers as long as the user context under which the command is running has required access on the remote computer.
