Running programm in elevated mode not working

[marka17]

I would like to execute a remote program via BP that needs elevation.

On the console logged in as domain admin that works with psexec when I pass the domain admin account:

psexec \computer -u domainAdministrator -p XXXXX -h cmd /c \serverprogramupdate.exe silent update

I can also execute a local cmd script which contains the line:

\serverprogramupdate.exe silent update

psexec \computer -u domainAdministrator -p XXXXX -h cmd.exe /c "C:Program Filesupdate.cmd“

which works also fine.

But if I run psexec without -u domainAdministrator -p XXXXX at the command shell I get „Access denied“ error code 1

The same is when deploying the cmd script with BatchPatch. The Remote Execution Context is changed to Elevated token. In the log I can see:

Di-08:02:13> Remote Command: Exit Code: 1

Di-08:01:52> Remote Command: Executing \computer -h cmd.exe /c “c:Program FilesBatchPatchdeploymenttempupdate.cmd”

Di-08:01:52> Remote Command: Establishing connection…

Di-08:01:52> Remote Command: Queued…

The script is successfully deployed to the deployment directory of the remote computer. But still I get exit code 1.

The same when I use Remote Process User defined command:

cmd.exe /c "c:Program FilesBatchPatchdeploymenttempRunMegaReplace.cmd"

My windows login account that runs BatchPatch is the Domain Admin. The -h switch seems not enough.

How can I run this task in BP. I can’t find a way to pass the -u -p switch for psexec.

To specify -u and -p you must use ‘Actions > Specify alternate logon credentials’. Then when the command is run it will use -u and -p.

Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking for.
