PowerShell

• 1 min to read •

The Remote PowerShell tool allows console users to remotely execute multi-line scripts or one-line PowerShell actions on an endpoint.

Be aware that code executed on the endpoint using the Remote PowerShell tool is executed from the following directory as the System account:

C:\$VCMSTEMP$\DownloadFolder

Because the PowerShell tool is executed as the System account, this tool is not a good option for actions requiring user permissions (like mounting network drives). To perform these types of actions, please use PowerShell from Cortex Actions with 'Run As' configured to the end user account.

PowerShell can be used for not only viewing remote configurations but performing complex Administrative tasks
