Run PowerShell script using Domain User Account
Hello,
I have a script to change the ccm cache size for computers on my network. I have tried to deploy the script using SCCM however I need it to run as the SCCM User Account because that has domain user rights. How can specifically run with that account? I tried researching online but no definitive answers. Thank you in advance!

Is there a reason you why cant change the cache size using the system account? I thought the call to change the sccm cache size use WMI so it should be ok?

The System account doesn't seem to work. Should it be able to?
I tried running it and it fails with the error code 0x1(1).
I know the script works because I ran it using my domain account and it changed the size properly and everything.
If this helps, I attached the log text:

Get Sysinternals PSEXEC and run PowerShell as SYSTEM and test your script.
The command is
psexec -s -i powershell
to get powershell to launch as the system account. - rileyz 8 years ago-
Is "psexec -s -i powershell" the command I type into cmd after installing PSEXEC? Or...? I'm sorry I'm a little unfamiliar with all of that! - nma7916 8 years ago

Download psexec
open cmd and switch dir where psexec is located.
In the command windows type "psexec -i -s powershell"
This should pop a box for licence agreement, hit ok, then the powershell window will open, type "whoami" check that you are running as NT/SYSTEM
From here use the powershell window as normal to test your script.

Try adding
-ExecutionPolicy Bypass
after the PowerShell.exe in your command line:
"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive "C:\windows\ccmcache\i\changecachesize.ps1"
This will run the PowerShell session with less security, so not to be used lightly!

I checked my system and I already had all that written in the command line and it still isn't work :( - nma7916 7 years ago

The command line in your post above doesn't show any ExecutionPolicy parameter:
CommandLine = "\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe\" -NoLogo -NonInteractive \"C:\\windows\\ccmcache\\i\\changecachesize.ps1\"";
Can you check it again, please. - andys0123 7 years ago
