What make you think that the batch file isn't running? What security context are you running the batch file as, user or local system?

There is not such docs as to when or how often you should or should not change the PW. HOWEVER if you change the NAA account your will likely lock it out for several hours or days. As such you should create two NAA accounts and change the PWs at different intervals. Also don't forget that if you change any of the SQL account that your MUST create the SPN record too. What do you mean by the CM Admin account? Exactly which account are you talking about?

Yes, I'm say you should use a Package/program for this. Your command as it sits will fail 100% of the time if you try to copy files using CMD. The reason for the failure is the UNC, When you execute the CMD it executes as local system. This account will NOT have access to the UNC and therefore will fail. This will NOT fail if you use a package/program, as long as the source files are within the package.

No it does not have any impact on SSRS reports.

Why not use the VPN logs to keep track of who uses VPN? Personally I would get rid of VPN and use DirectAccess instead.

What does your query look like? When you look at the All System collection can you see them? Do you have AD discovery enabled?

Why not make a package with the shortcuts?

Then you will need to use subselect queries http://www.enhansoft.com/?s=subselect Remember that QFE does not have all SU listed within (most but not all).

Change your "And" to "Or"

Have you tried it as an x86 cmd?

0x80070003 = The system cannot find the path specified. So does the source files exist for this package?

Have you run your script/exe as the local system account? https://verbalprocessor.com/2007/12/05/running-a-cmd-prompt-as-local-system/

If you are looking for a complete tutorial, then I would suggest that you either purchase one of the many CM12R2 books or take the CM12R2 Microsoft course.

So how did you fix this?

If you have done these things, Then it is time to call in a expert on SQL and your application to troubleshot things. There is nothing more that someone within the forums can do to help you.

You haven't giving us anything to work with. What have you done to troubleshot this? Why do you say your server is slow? Have you review the application to see why it is filling up the disks? Is you SQL server sized right? Are you sure? Is the server a VM? Do you have dedicated physical disk for it? Have you looked at Prefmon?

I moved this to the Scripting forum as this is really a PowerShell Question and not a CM12 Q.

Based solely on what little data you can given. Upgrade you disk to faster disks.

No CAS. Best practice is not to have a CAS until you have 150,000 computers. A CAS will NOT stop any "mistakes", in fact it will be more likely to allow "mistakes" to happen.

you will need to check the docs for that question.

Use exactly the same process for that upgrade too...

There are not real tricks to this. Just run the Setup and tell it to upgrade your SQL instance.

It should be more or less 5 minutes.. if it is taking an hour then it is likely your site server is overloaded.

There are not such versions of SQL. Are you trying to upgrade from SQL 2012 for SQL 2014/2016?

NAS are not supported and will not work.
