Hello,

I have a script, where I copy a file to a remote server (virtual machine).

$destination = ‘\ServerName\C$\users\public\Documents’  
Copy-Item $file.FullName -Destination $destination -Force

I can execute the script and get the expected result (copying the file) manually. When I register the script execution as a scheduled job however, it fails to copy the file. Am I missing credentials or something?  
Thanks

What credentials are you specifying in the Scheduled Task?  
They must be creds that have admin creds for all hosts where the action is to happen.
