Disabling administrative shares breaks PsTools #249

Closed zdat closed 7 months ago

zdat commented 11 months ago

I'm trying to use something called Pstools to disable scheduled tasks that you normally can't disable through the regular Task Scheduler. It opens up a special elevated Task Scheduler that can be used to disable stubborn tasks.

Something in the Privacy.sexy script is causing the error

Error creating key file on DESKTOP-XXXXXXX:
The network name cannot be found.

to display in the cmd window when I try to get the elevated Task scheduler to open. Does anyone know what it could be? Thanks.

Unchecking / reverting "disable administrative shares" fixes it.

Hi @zdat, thank you for the report and sharing the root cause. I guess we should move recommendation level from Standard to Strict. We do not want Standard to break stuff.

Script is documented and removed from Standard pool.

Let me know if you see another side-effect or just any other input.
