Why do I get Access Denied when using WinRM?
- by Kev
Following on from this question:
Why does my PowerShell script hang when called in PSEXEC via a batch (.cmd) file?
I took the advice from Jim B and installed WinRM. To recap I have two servers:
HMon01 - runs Windows 2003 Standard SP2
Web1928 - runs Windows 2008 Standard SP2
Both servers are standalone.
I installed WinRM for Windows 2003 from here and configured WinRM as follows on both machines:
Client
NetworkDelayms = 5000
URLPrefix = wsman
AllowUnencrypted = false
Auth
Basic = true
Digest = true
Kerberos = true
Negotiate = true
Certificate = true
DefaultPorts
HTTP = 80
HTTPS = 443
TrustedHosts = *
The problem I have is that if I remotely execute commands using the remote machine's built in Administrator account then all is well.
However I have an account on the remote machine named remoteexec which is a member of the Administrators group (we disable our Administrator accounts). If I use this account then I get Access Denied errors. I've done all the usual things such as checking passwords and the like.
Why would this be?
