ss3vegeta Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi, I am simply trying to write a script to help deploy printers and I have run into a bit of a snag. I cannot get the cmd window to open with the proper elevation to run commands like: pnputil -i -a c:\print_drivers\driverstore\hp001a\prnhp001.inf I can run this command manually from an elevated command line prompt without issue, however it will not work using: #RequireAdmin and/or RunAsWait($adminAcct, @ComputerName, $adminPass, 0, @ComSpec & " /k pnputil -i -a c:\print_drivers\driverstore\hp001a\prnhp001.inf") I get an error that says: "Adding the driver packaged failed : Access is denied." Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntiVirusGuy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 put a sleep in your process to verify it is running as the user you think you are it may be an issue with the credentials you may also use the /f force pnputil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pops up and leaves very quickly. Do you mean to use -f with pnputil? I think force can only be used to delete from the driver store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss3vegeta Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I figured it out, the problem was that I was using the wrong flag. I needed to use 2 instead of 0. RunAsWait($adminAcct, @ComputerName, $adminPass, 2, @ComSpec & " /k pnputil -i -a c:print_driversdriverstorehp001aprnhp001.inf") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
