Powershell monitors with escalated privileges

Is there a setting equivalent to the 'Run with highest privileges' checkbox on a scheduled task available for powershell component monitors?

I've got several powershell scripts I run as scheduled tasks I'd like to adapt to use as component monitors but they don't return any output solarwinds. To run these as a scheduled task it was necessary to use this checkbox.

The credentials used for the monitor definitely have sufficient permissions.

Have you already tried remoting in directly to the SolarWinds server, launching Powershell from there and running your script?

Does it run successfully? If it does not run successfully when you try it directly in a Powershell console, large possibility is that it will not run in SAM as well.

Hello ekis - runs fine from a console on the solarwinds server (under the same account the poller uses). At a bit of a loss.

Try editing the logon account of the JobEngine and JobEnginev2 services to use Network Service or perhaps have it use the same credential used by the monitor.

I don't recommend changing logon account of JE. Why not to start your script in new process with runas verb:

Run sudo in Windows in Stapp.space
