Running remote script to write in file share
Thanks for the notes. Now I understand which is the issue.
But still having some problems to solve it.
Tried the New-PSDrive method, but I have an error. My code is this:
$cred = Get-Credential domain\user (user is domain admin)
$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName servername
Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock { New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root \\path -Persist }
Got this error:
Access is denied
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Z:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], Win32Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotMapNetworkDrive,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand
+ PSComputerName : servername
Also, tried this method here, which seemed the easiest one:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/ps-remoting-second-hop?view=powershell-7.2#pass-credentials-inside-an-invoke-command-script-block
But still permissions error.
Do you have any idea of how could I solve this issue? I'm thinking if it would help to create and run a local schedule task, and that way we would avoid a second hop right?
Thanks
Hi
I assume that the user have the correct permission to perform the required action.
Try the following code
$Cred=Get-Credential
Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server1 -ScriptBlock {New-PSDrive -Root '\\FileServer.FQDN.local\MyShare' -PSProvider FileSystem -Name X -Credential $Using:Cred -Persist;Set-Content -Path 'X:\myfile.txt' -Value 'www2w111'}Hi,
Thanks. I have the permissions, as I'm using a domain admin for the testing.
I tried your code and it works, but I have some issues. I replaced a part of the code to acomplish my objective. It's like this right now:$Cred=Get-Credential Invoke-Command -ComputerName servername -ScriptBlock {New-PSDrive -Root '\\share_ip\WindowsUpdateLogs' -PSProvider FileSystem -Name X -Credential $Using:Cred -Persist; (Get-WUList).GetEnumerator() | Export-Csv -Path "X:\$(hostname)-$(get-date -f dd-MM-yyyy)-WindowsUpdate.log" }But this works once and then if I try to run it a next time on the same server or a different server I get this error message:
A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (X:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], Win32Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotMapNetworkDrive,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand
+ PSComputerName : servernameIf I leave it for 1h and back for testing, it works again once. So there's something with the expiration of the session which I'm not understanding.
Also, I need to insert this into a cycle to fetch the updates on each server. But if this is running just once, I can't insert it on a cycle.
Thanks in advance.
I try it on my end, and Yes, the same issue I got
But I notice the following: my file server is a failover cluster, but if I set the write destination to a server node or a single server, the script you provide works fine.
I need to go deeper into this to see what is causing this; for now I think its related to the double-hope issue.
Can you try to write to other node or destination and let me know.
Hi,
My server is not a cluster, it's a regular VM. Also, I've tried with another share on another server and the issue persists, with same error message.
It's quite odd, as it seems that the session is terminated just after has been established.
Thanks
