PSExec remote credentials

[HippyCraig]

I have a step that uses PSExec to uninstall and install an MSI, my build machine is on a non trusted domain from the box being deployed to. Under the Advance Tab I have a user name and password for a service account that has access to the remote server and I set the options to "Use Credentials for Network Only".

If I take the same command and run it outside VB it runs fine, not sure what to do?

Unchecking Use credentials for network only should be closer what is happening when calling externally. Is the user account when calling externally the same as the user account being specified in Visual Build? Is the command-line identical?

Check the Log the command-line option on the Advanced tab and the Log PsExec output option on the Remote tab, rebuild the step, and post or send the step's build output, including the PsExec command Visual Build generates. Thanks.

So originally I had options set to non but I figured I would try the other option since I am logged into the build machine with a domain that's not trusted by the target.

The following commands are generated from VB and they fail within the GUI, if I copy the same command to a CMD file and run it they work. (please note I out usernames and passwords from the commands below)

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C PsExec >C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Local\Temp\2\PsE44F1.tm p -u DOMAIN\USER -p PASSWORD \\SERVERNAEM.FQDN.COM MSIEXEC.EXE /x {DAD5255B-4386-479A-8CA1-27AFFB23EC59} /qn
pause


C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C PsExec >C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Local\Temp\2\PsED09C.tm p -u DOMAIN\USER -p PASSWORD \\SERVERNAEM.FQDN.COM MSIEXEC.EXE /i "D:\Staging\PostalLocation\ACE.NA.EA.PostalLocatio n.WebSetup.msi" INSTALLATIONLEVEL="TEST" TARGETSITE="/LM/W3SVC/3" TARGETVDIR="PostalLocation" TARGETAPPPOOL="TIWS-PostalLocation" /qn
pause

Please ZIP and send or post

1) The version of Visual Build.

2) The version of PsExec.exe being called (call where psexec in a Command Prompt to locate).

3) A .bld file with the step that is failing.

4) Check the Log the command-line option on the Advanced tab and the Log PsExec output option on the Remote tab, rebuild the step, and send the step's build output.

Thanks.
