Wipe Windows 10 with Run Command Task

[bfog 1]

Hi there

It's been a week since I started trying to copy psexec to [c:\windows\temp] and call it with elevated rights to start a ps script to factory reset Windows 10 remotely. Atm I can't run "psexec -s Wipe-Script-Windows10.ps1" without having admin rights in cmd. Did anyone else had luck regarding this or has an even better solution? The wipe-script works fine btw

thank you for your help

 

cheers

Since remote execution of psexec is near the top of remote execution malware attacks, I assume; and hopefully, Eset is blocking its execution.

Have you checked your Eset logs for such a blocked entry?

I did check the logs, no blocked app.

the command to run the script requires admin privileges and looks like that: psexec -s Wipe-Script-Win10.ps1

When running cmd as admin the command works as it should. is there any way to run cmd with elevated rights from ecmd?

Also I am not running psexec remotely - I am placing it in c:\windows\temp via curl with an ecmd task

If you send a Run command task from the ESET PROTECT console, the command is run in the system account so you should leave out psexec and replace it with "powershell" command followed by the script name. Haven't tried running a PS script remotely this way but I guess it could work.

No, as far as I am aware of. You can run emcd from a script, but ecmd will only run dedicated Eset command line options.

That actually does work... thank you very much!
