Permission denied error while creating file in remote system by Azure powershell

Question

I have written below code to create file in remote system by domain credentials. When i execute this code I get permission denied error.

Code:

$username = "domain\username"
$password = "Welcome1234$"
$secstr = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.SecureString
$password.ToCharArray() | ForEach-Object {$secstr.AppendChar($_)}
$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $secstr
Invoke-Command -Credential $cred -Computer VM1{
New-Item \\VM2\sapmnt\SID\SYS\profile\test.txt -ItemType file
}

error:

Access to the path '\\VM2\sapmnt\SID\SYS\profile\test.txt' is denied.
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (\\VM2\s...rofile\test.txt:String) [New-Item], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NewItemUnauthorizedAccessError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewItemCommand

Answer 1

Can you use that account to access that path \\VM2\sapmnt\SID\SYS\profile? Do you have permission to read or write?

I had test in my lab, it works for me.

Grant permission (Read/Write)to that account:

Here is the script:

$username = 'jason'
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString -string 'password' -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $pass
$s = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri 'http://13.73.23.129:5985' -Credential $cred -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck -SkipRevocationCheck)
Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {new-item \\jasonvm\profile\jasontest3.txt}

Update:

changing the ip-address to HOSTNAME resolve this issue:

$username = 'jason'
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString -string 'password' -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $pass
$s = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri 'VM2hostname:5985'; -Credential $cred -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck -SkipRevocationCheck) 
Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {new-item \\jasonvm\profile\jasontest3.txt}
