Rant mode on: AHHHHH, there will be a time when Bill Gates will be rewarded for his "contribution" to the world I am trying to automate the install of patches for something like 100 win10 Pro PC... powershell galore, let me tell you.... There are at least three ways to "remote control the PC" all a bit confusing, apparently, winrm quickconfig is the one to go BUT Hey, you CANNOT copy stuff from the network share (even if you are admin), you know, security... BUT you can start a cron job that does that OOOOHHHHHH genius level Microsoft could not think of that You would imagine that there is a supported way to install Win updates.... well, there is, BUT nobody uses it since it is BROKEN, so, let's use some contributed SW, fine some more crap to download BUT let's say you want to have some feedback on the install process, like, getting a copy of the progress, you would think that it was easy Well, it is, if you ALLOW windows sharing on the CLIENT machine, but if you do not (for security reasons) how ? There is a nice command that can transfer files BUT cannot read a file that is opened by another process ????!!!!! you know... security ??? so, how to solve ? CANNOT use robocopy since a SIMPLE function like copying a file to another name, NO CAN DO last stand, the COPY comand of old beloved DOS (that he "bought", maybe) from someone else End of rant..... enjoy your windows
