Vista - Re: Connecting to a share that requires authentication

10-04-2008

Hello Michael,

Using a RunAs Account would be the most apparent and appropriate way from
my perspective. Alternatively, you could also run the script from a proxy
agent that you assign a domain account (with rights to the share) as the
Agent Action Account.
