First Test the script on the local box with that user. If the SCOM agent it on the box you can log on as that user copy the vb script locally and then run it from the command line. So like C:\cscript “C:\temp\My.txt”

Not sure I follow all that (Sorry not really used to some of this stuff), but if I change the script back to C:\temp\My.txt, and use an override to enable the monitor on the remote server (Still part of the same domain), will that work?? (It doesn’t seem to….

Is it still a permissions issue do you think (I’m guessing yes), but is there no way that this monitor can be created from just the SCOM console?

Appreciate you help very much.

That is because all monitors and rules run as local system. What you will have to do is create a run as account. Store it in the mp. Then create the script. Go into the Advanced Authoring console (not the regular authoring console). Change the script monitor to run as that new run as account. Also make sure the the run as account has access to the remote server share.

Let me know if you need me to explain it better.

Hi,
If I change the line
strFileName = “c:\testfolder\testfile.txt”
to
strFileName = “\\RemoteServer\temp\My.txt”

it doesn’t seem to work if I delete my.txt.

Does the script need a local path?
Thx,
JB

[...] Ok now we have a good working script and c# executable. Now we just need to put the script into a monitor and copy the file to the server we want to monitor and we are done.

This is a very old post I wrote long ago (opsmgr2007 RTM was just out of the door)… and now we are getting ready for R2 already!
