      hi we are having sever al issues with some powershell scripts. the script works if run FROM the machine, but if run via FOG it creates the folder, but doesn’t copy the files. we don’t know why its not working if we run the script via fog. but as stated above if we copy the script to the computer and run it, it runs just fine and copies everything it should. Does anyone have any ideas?

        I am attaching the scripts that we are using. I changed the extension from .ps1 to txt so I could upload them.

        Copy LCARS folders.txt
        Copy Current Artemis.txt

        anyone know why if we run the scripts directly on the computer they work, but if run via snapin they don’t?

        Below is a screenshot of both snapin settings

          @anwoke8204 I believe this is because your script is logging into a network share that may not have machine\system level access.

          Snapins run as the local system’s system user account.

          When you’re accessing the network location named starbase, that’s the user who needs to be able to access the share drive. Everything else, I believe, should work just fine.

It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            @anwoke8204 Tom is right. I had that same issue when trying to use snapins the first time.
            You would need to do something like this:

            $username = "DOMAIN\USERNAME""
            $password = ConvertTo-SecureString "PASSWORD!" -AsPlainText -Force
            $creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $username, $password
            
            New-PSDrive -Persist -Name "Z" -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\SHARE\PATH" -Credential $creds
            
            #
            # RUN YOUR CODE REFERENCING THE "Z" DRIVE
            #
            
            Remove-PSDrive -Name "Z"

              Hello @rodluz

              I made the changes (see below) It runs like expected when run FROM the machine; however, when running through FOG it still says running, then immediately completed, and nothing is copied. Ideas here? Log just shows completed. But the folder is empty

              cls

              $username = “starshipfrontier\wbadmin”
              $password = ConvertTo-SecureString “USSWhiteBuffalo33247” -AsPlainText -Force
              $creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $username, $password
              $NetworkPath = “\starbase\Artemis_Files\Artemis Versions\Mod\Artemis 2.8 TNG Mod”
              $LocalPath = “C:\Artemis 2.8 TNG Mod”

              #New-PSDrive -Name Artemis -PSProvider FileSystem -Root “\starbase\Artemis_Files\Artemis Versions\Mod\Artemis 2.8 TNG Mod” -Credential $creds
              New-PSDrive -Name “S” -Root $NetworkPath -PSProvider “FileSystem” -Credential $cred
              #Get-PSDrive -Name “S”

              RUN YOUR CODE REFERENCING THE “Z” DRIVE

              Write-Host “Copying Artemis to Local Computer” -ForegroundColor DarkCyan

              if(Test-Path $LocalPath) {“Temp folder found”} else {New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $LocalPath}

              New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $LocalPath
              Copy-Item S:* -Destination $LocalPath -Recurse -Force

              Write-Host “Copy Complete” -ForegroundColor DarkCyan
              Remove-PSDrive -Name “S”

                @dellborg82 You seem to have a typo, that or because it’s not in code format (triple back ticks) we’re losing context.

                Your script should be:

                $NetworkPath = "\\starbase\Artemis_Files\Artemis Versions\Mod\Artemis 2.8 TNG Mod"
                $LocalPath = "C:\Artemis 2.8 TNG Mod"

                $username = "starshipfrontier\wbadmin"
                $password = ConvertTo-SecureString "USSWhiteBuffalo33247" -AsPlainText -Force
                $creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $username, $password

                New-PSDrive -Name "S" -Root $NetworkPath -PSProvider "FileSystem" -Credential $cred

                If (-Not (Test-Path $LocalPath)) {
                Write-Host "Creating $LocalPath" -ForegroundColor DarkCyan
                New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force $LocalPath
                }

                Write-Host "Copying Artemis to Local Computer" -ForegroundColor DarkCyan
                Copy-Item S:\* -Destination $LocalPath -Recurse -Force

                Write-Host "Copy Complete" -ForegroundColor DarkCyan
                Remove-PSDrive -Name "S"

                Why it’s not showing the full appropriately lined strings I don’t know.

                  Hello @Tom-Elliott, Thanks for your help here; however, it’s still not working and when I run it locally, I get the below error on New-PSDrive

                  fe8924d7-ffa1-4fbb-8f0e-a8ac2c603152-image.png

                  I’m not the best at PowerShell, but have been learning here and there.

                  Please Advise where this may be going wrong. Unless I’m Mistaken (and I likely am) is this being caused by the $credIf (-Not (Test-Path $LocalPath)) part of the script?

                    @dellborg82 I printed the actual code as an image in my post because for some reason the code syntax is joining lines in appropriately here.

                      @Tom-Elliott Thanks for clarifying that.

                      I’m not sure why I didn’t catch that. Trying now. (It ran locally, just fine); however, run run via FOG, The pop up comes up that says it’s running, 3 seconds later, popup shows it’s complete (this is what we’ve been seeing)

                      I check the folder… empty

                        @dellborg82 Can you look at the event logs and see if anything shows up for that timeframe that the script actually runs.

                          @Tom-Elliott Here’s the log file from C:\fog.txt. As far as I can tell, (again I could be wrong) but it looks like the log shows it’s running.

                              @dellborg82 @Tom-Elliott Thanks for your help here, I was able to figure out the issue with your guidance. I’m not 5/5 on successful copies via PowerShell.
