Hello,
A PowerShell file "scripttest.ps1" creates two different text files:
- one with a path on the machine's local hard drive (C:\test\coucou.txt),
- the other with a path to a server share (\\server-ip\share\salut.txt).
1) When I open and run "scripttest.ps1" from the Ps1_To_Exe_(x64).exe interface, both text files are created.
2) When I create the scripttest.exe file from Ps1_To_Exe_(x64).exe and then run it, both text files are created
(Ps1_To_Exe_(x64) settings: 64-bit Exe-Format | Windows (invisible), UAC Requires User Privileges).
3) When I run scripttest.exe from the PyScripter interface ("make and edit" then "Run Configuration / install / Run"), both text files are created.
4) When I create the wapt package (Run Configuration / -i build-upload / Run) and assign it to a machine, the script runs, the local text file on C:\test is created, but the remote text file on \\server-ip\share is not created.
It would seem, therefore, that this is a problem of lost user privileges. How could I fix this, please?
Thank you in advance.

WAPT server 1.5.1.23 on Debian Stretch, option 1 in Post-configuration "registration without authentication (As in version 1.3)".

Hello,

Wapt is running under the system account.

Why not store the ps1 file directly in the package?

It is generally strongly discouraged, from a security standpoint, to store a script outside the Wapt package. This completely breaks Wapt's security.

Thanks for the reply.
That's exactly what's been done: the .ps1 script is integrated, as an executable, into the wapt package.
Perhaps I could integrate the .ps1 file directly into the package (I'll try), but the initial question concerns its executable, which works all the time except when it's inside a package.

The machine account most likely does not have access to your share.

To better understand, you can run your script with psexec using the -s option:

This will allow you to observe the problem.
