Workflow steps to map and unmap drives

Primary LanguagePowerShell

Map and unmap Drive

Workflow steps Powershell to map and unmap a drive on remote Windows Nodes.

Limitation

Currently, On Powershell is not possible to maintain drives mapping on a remote session, ones the remote session is closed.

Workaround

The workaround for this plugin is mapping the drive using a Powershell's Schedule Job. This workaround needs that the Node-Executor calls the scheduled job, for example:

Get-ScheduledJob  | Where-Object {$_.name -Match "RundeckJobs*"} | ForEach-Object { 
  (Get-ScheduledJob -Name $_.name).StartJob() 
  Get-Job | Wait-Job
 }

A new Powershell Node-Executor plugin version will implement this code.

The drive will be mapping for any step in the workflow until the Unmapping step is called.

Finally, this workaround works just for users that are part of the administrator group
