Snapin issue - using powershell to copy items

[rodluz]

@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

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?

[Tom Elliott]

@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.

[dellborg82]

@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

[Tom Elliott]

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

[dellborg82]

@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.

But still nothing in the C:\Artemis 2.8 TNG Mod Directory. The directory gets created, but it’s empty.

@Tom-Elliott

Is this what you were looking for?

[dellborg82]

@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.

[Tom Elliott]

@dellborg82 What was the issue? This way somebody else who may be having a similar issue can also be helped?
