Solarwinds agent run with domain account

Hello guys,

I have a powershell script to perform an installation of a program if it does not exist in the remote server. We monitor the servers using solarwinds agent. The script works file during the testing (run the script using my account with an administrator priv on remote server). But when deploy in SAM, the script doesn't work as expected as it requires an administrator rights. The Powershell script seems executed by "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" on remote server.

Is there a way to overcome this issue?

In your script you use a line like:

$credential = get-credential ${CREDENTIAL}

then use $credential to authorize the thing

Easier said then done sometimes

OR you can, in the SAM template/application page, set the job to Agentless

Create a Solarwinds credential entry for the user account you want to be used.

In the SAM Powershell monitor select that account from the Credential for Monitoring dropdown

Include ${CREDENTIAL} in the Script Arguments field

In your powershell script assign that to a variable.

E.g.

$ServerCreds = $args[0] #assuming ${CREDENTIAL} is first in the Script Arguments field.

Use $ServerCreds to run any remote commands in the script.
