powershell, which credentials should i use
I am new to power shell so this may be a simple question. I have configured winRM in my domain and this is working.
My workstation is Win 7 Pro SP1 running PSversion 4.0. I'm logged in as myself, a domain user who is a member of the administrators group (but not a Domain Admin). My question is, what credentials should I run the ps console in?
If I just click on windows power shell, not much works [ eg. Get-Service -name B* -ComputerName is-tr-01 ] fails with a privilege error
If I right click and Run As Administrator the above still does not work.
If I shift click and Run as Another User, use a domain admin account, the above does work, however seems to create a problem, such as if I want to pipe to csv, [eg. Get-Service -Name b* -ComputerName is-tr-01 | Export-Csv c:\services.csv ] fails with access to c: path is denied.
If I Run As Administrator [ Get-Service -Name b* | Export-Csv c:\services.csv ] removing the remote computer, this does work.
