Access Denied

Question

I'm trying to get this script from the repository to work for me. I'm getting Access is Denied errors. http://www.adaxes.com/script-repository ... r-s352.htm

I configured the Custom Command like this:

The server I specified in the script has PS Remoting enabled. I can remote with powershell to the server with the credentials that I specified, which is the domain admin account.

I'd appreciate any help on this.

Hello,

You need to grant permissions to Adaxes default service administrator on the computer where the folders are located. To do so:

1. Login to the computer as Adaxes default service administrator.
2. Click Win+R and type wmimgmt.msc.
3. Press Enter.
4. Right-click WMI Control (Local) node and click Properties.
   
5. Activate the Security tab and click Security.
   
6. Click Advanced.
   
7. Сlick Add.
   
8. Click Select a principal.
   
9. Specify the username of the default service administrator and click OK.
10. Select Allow from the Type drop-down menu.
11. Select This namespace and subnamespaces from the Applies to drop-down menu.
    
12. Select all checkboxes in Permissions section.
    
13. Click OK four times.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be my issue. I used the domain admin, and it has local admin rights to the servers, and by default that has the WMI access needed. I even tried adding the Adaxes user and and that didn't help either.

If i run a script to test WMI and PS Remoting to ensure things work outside of Adaxes, things work just fine. I tried another script: http://www.adaxes.com/script-repository ... r-s269.htm

and I get the same Access is Denied.

I'm not sure how to trouble shoot this further.

Ok, I seemed to figure it out. My Adaxes service user definitely was being DENIED. I manually added it to the local administrators group on the server, and then it started working. I thought the Adaxes was local admin, but I guess not. Also, i thought if I used my Domain Admin account to RUN AS he script this would of worked as well, but that didn't.
