Custom EXE sensor: "A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated"

Votes:

Hello guys, I'm trying to check backup files on remote device through custom senzor. I have script which works perfectly if I run it in Powershell, but if I set it into custom sensor, it doesn't work.

Script is using credentials to connect remote drive:

$SecPasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force 
$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($username, $secpasswd)
New-PSDrive –Name "Y" –PSProvider FileSystem –Root "\\15.15.0.30\path" -Credential $Credentials

Error what I get from sensor is: "Logon failure: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated"

Is here somethink what I forget to config? Thanks for any advice.

UPDATE (can't edit my post) It looks like sensor is half-working, half-not. I got more than 30 emails in last hour with reports that sensor is in error state and that sensor is again OK.

Hello,

please make sure no other device or sensor establishes a connection to the share using the same user name on the target machine (and therefore opens a session).

Furthermore please try to increase the scanning interval for this Custom EXE sensor to 10 minutes.

Does the sensor still flapping between error and ok?
