Hi all,

I have a batch or power shell scripting to change computer name in Windows system,
but this scripting cannot run normally on the client machine, I thought that is due to BES agent itself is using “Local System” account and itself privilege is not enough to perform the scripting. The scripting is used DOS of “netdom” or Powershell of “Rename-Computer”, so my question is that is it possible let this scripting to run as administrator? or does anyone can share your idea for how to handle some kind of operations which required admin privilege on windows via Bigfix? Thanks a lot

The BigFix agent runs as Local System which has more privileges than an Administrator actually. Generally if you can perform the task as an administrator it will work fine under BigFix. The exceptions are usually when the install or operation tries to use the current user hive of the registry which for the agent would be the Local System hive and not any particular user or Administrator.
