Nagios Support Forum

Note that if I run from the command line the following output is produced:
C:\DCOM\Nagios\ncpa_passive.exe C:\DCOM\Nagios\ C:\DCOM\Nagios\var\log\ displayEnv.ps1 displayEnv.ps1.seek C:\DCOM\Nagios\var\log\displayEnv.ps1.seek

But when executed through the NCPA API the following output is produced:
Using check_ncpa.py

var\log\ displayEnv.ps1 displayEnv.ps1.seek var\log\displayEnv.ps1.seek

$NCPA_PATH = Get-Process -Name ncpa_passive | Select -expand Path

You are correct...even though certain other PowerShell scripts are indeed operating as the svc_account something about the way Get-Process underlying permissions are prohibiting access to certain process objects. This is dang difficult to understand because there is no clear/easy way to determine what specific permission is missing due to the fact that the SYSTEM and Administrators rights supersede all permissions. I did see that certain processes can be queried successfully but others cannot. So that bites because trying to run the services as the svc_account to make things like check UNC Paths easy without credentials also creates permissions issues trying to ascertain other things I wanted to use PowerShell to extract.

I will go back to the drawing board and look for alternate methods...I was just trying to do it simple without much thought but then got sidetracked when it didn't work the way I expected it to.

Thanks for your help and you can lock this thread...
