First off I apologize but I am a complete newbie and powershell.
I have written a PS script that looks through a server's event logs and parses out WARNING/ERRORS and writes them to a text file on my primary domain controller's E:\ drive which I use to collect logs daily for review, the script writes to this location by doing \\primaryDChostname\E$\filename.txt
The script runs great if its running locally on the machine (any machine) and it'll write the text file to the E: drive on the primary DC no problem.
I decided its not efficient to have the script on every server running as a scheduled task on every server so I wanted to clean it up a bit.
I decided to write another PS script that runs my eventlog script remotely on all the servers that way the script is on 1 machine only and only 1 scheduled task is needed on my server hosting the script.
THE PROBLEM:
Well the 2nd script works only on the backup domain controller, it creates the text files on my primaryDC E:\ drive with no issues, however, when the script hits the member servers it fails with the following:
Access to the path '\\PRIMARYDC\E$\ApplogERRORS.txt' is denied
OpenError:(:)[], UnauthorizedAccessException
FileOpenFailure
Permissions on E: on my primary DC are wide open, EVERYONE full control. If I run my event log script locally on a member server it has no issues writing the text file to the E:\ drive on my Primary DC so I dont understand if its trully file permissions issue.
I'm assuming it works on my backup DC because there is a full trust between it and the primary DC that doesn't exist on the member servers? I'm guessing here...??
Here is the secondary script syntax that kicks off my eventlog script:
invoke-command -computername BACKUPDOMAINCONTROLLER, SERVER1, SERVER2, -filepath 'E:\Filterlogs.ps1's
So it works fine on the backupDC and the files are created on my primaryDC E:\drive but it failson SERVER1, SERVER2 ect...
I have run the following commands (as admin) on all machines:
Set-Executionpolicy unrestricted
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Thoughts?
