Copy files cross domain

Question

_{Monday, August 13, 2012 2:32 PM}

Hi.

I need to copy a file from a server in one domain, to another server in another domain. 

I tried using the Copy-Item command specifying the -Credential parameter. But credentials are aparently not available for that provider...

Any ideas?

Best regards

Peter

net use \\<server name>\IPC$ /USER:<domain>\<account password copy file \\server\share
net use * /del

Thanks Kazun.

I ended up using the following command in powershell:

#Map network drive
net use x: $destinationFolder $password /user:$domain\user /p:no 

#Performing copy operation
Copy-Item $filePath x:

Examples of net usage can be found here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/commandlinereference/p/net-use-command.htm

Use new-psdrive to map ps drives to the source and target locations (new-psdrive does take a -credential parameter), then use the psdrive references in your copy-item.

I think you cant to migrate the files and conserving NTFS permissions. If yes, you can use robocopy utility.

Well, if you want to migrate SIDs in use, consider migrating and maybe merging users' accounts using ADMT.

Thanks for your reply!

I tried the following:

$username = 'DOMAIN\userName'
 $password = 'password'
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
New-PSDrive -name X -psprovider FileSystem -root \112.0.12.3\d$\temp 

I got the following error:

The provider does not support the use of credentials. Perform the operation again without specifying credentials.
At line:1 char:1

•  <<<< New-PSDrive -name X -psprovider FileSystem -root \112.0.12.3\d$\temp  -Credential $cred
      + CategoryInfo          : NotImplemented: (:) [], PSNotSupportedException    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NotSupported

Am I doing it wrong?

Best regards

Credential support for New-PSDrive is only supported on Powershell V.3

You are correct.  My mistake.
