Opening domain computer's explorer from elevated PS script still prompts for credentials

33 Views Asked by At

I have a PowerShell script which requires admin rights to launch and therefore always runs elevated. It has options to run commands on remote computers on the same domain, which all work without re-prompting for credentials as the shell is already elevated. However, when trying to open the file explorer from a machine on the domain, no matter which method I use, access is denied and I am re-prompted for admin creds. This includes using ii or Invoke-Item, and explorer.exe with and without Start-Process and/or -verb runas. Here's a sample command as I am trying to run it:

Invoke-Item \\$systemName\C$\TEMP

To be clear, that command itself works with all the methods mentioned above, I'm simply trying to avoid the second credential request, which I don't understand since every other admin command runs without re-prompting. Any ideas?
