I am trying to run a PowersShell script via SMB connection, but it does not run the script:
smbclient hostname -U username%password -c "Powershell -File run.ps1"
It fails saying:
Powershell: command not found
I want to run a PowerShell script via SMB on a remote server.
linux(from) -> Windows(to)
CodePudding user response:
The -c
/--command
parameter of smbclient
is for SMB command strings only, not for arbitrary shell commands. See man pages.
These are your available commands:
smb: \> ?
? allinfo altname archive backup
blocksize cancel case_sensitive cd chmod
chown close del deltree dir
du echo exit get getfacl
geteas hardlink help history iosize
lcd link lock lowercase ls
l mask md mget mkdir
more mput newer notify open
posix posix_encrypt posix_open posix_mkdir posix_rmdir
posix_unlink posix_whoami print prompt put
pwd q queue quit readlink
rd recurse reget rename reput
rm rmdir showacls setea setmode
scopy stat symlink tar tarmode
timeout translate unlock volume vuid
wdel logon listconnect showconnect tcon
tdis tid utimes logoff ..

You can use ! <SHELL_COMMAND>
for shell commands, but they will be executed locally, not on your remote server.
In other words, you cannot execute PowerShell scripts remotely via SMB. Look for other remoting technologies. You will find more than enough examples for PowerShell remoting or SSH here on [SO].

The error indicates that Powershell isn't found? Most likely because it's not part of your PATH, and your shell doesn't know where to look to run PS commands Depending on your Linux, flavor, have a quick look at the MS doc on the topic to see if it's installed
