Test-Path in Powershell Scripts

expand collapsive

I’ve come to realize that any script with Test-Path in any Powershell Script causes an “Access Denied” error when pushed through Hexnode. The script works exceedingly well when I run it locally as an administrator. But when I run it with Hexnode it consistently gives me an Access Denied error. I’m not 100% sure how pushing scripts work, I assume that the Hexnode-RMM profile is the administrative profile that Hexnode uses to run the scripts and it just isn’t making much sense.

Here’s the script I’m using:

# Specify the root path where you want to create the folders
$rootPath = “G:\My Drive”

# List of folder names to create
$folderNames = @(“Desktop”, “Downloads”, “Documents”, “Videos”, “Pictures”)

foreach ($folderName in $folderNames) {
# Concatenate the root path and folder name
$newFolderPath = Join-Path -Path $rootPath -ChildPath $folderName

# Check if the folder already exists
if (-not (Test-Path $newFolderPath)) {
# Create the folder if it doesn’t exist
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $newFolderPath -Force
Write-Host “Folder ‘$folderName’ created successfully at $newFolderPath”
} else {
Write-Host “Folder ‘$folderName’ already exists at $newFolderPath”
}
}

I want to change the path of the shell folders indicated here (I’ve tried editing the registry but it’s just not reliable at all for some reason, no I don’t have an AD domain so that’s not an option either, and I need to push it to 100+ devices) to a path on a virtual drive. Again, running this script as an admin locally works flawlessly, running through hexnode gives me problems.

The script is supposed to create a set of folders in the virtual drive, create a function that defines all the shell folders, then uses the function to perform the move.

    Originally I thought that it might be because Hexnode doesn’t have access to the G:\ drive (Google Drive for Desktop) but by that logic it shouldn’t work when I run it as an admin on the device either but it does. On top of that, doing Test-Path with any other path on the device doesn’t work either with Hexnode.

    Hello@seph-rodriguez,

    The error occurs because the script can be run only for the user account on which the Google Drive for Desktop has been set up. Please note that the Hexnode agent app operates at the system level. Hence, the script should be modified by making it specific to a user account before executing it from the Hexnode console.

    We hope this helps. Feel free to reach out in case of further queries or concerns.

    Best regards,
