PsExec returns 1073741502 error code
Hi
I have a build step that needs to execute a console app with a different user account with privileged access.
I created a .bat file that calls PsExec with the following arguments :
PsExec.exe -i -accepteula -u Username -p Password "MyConsoleApp.exe"
[15:51:09]PsExec v2.0 - Execute processes remotely

[15:51:09]MyConsoleApp.exe exited with error code -1073741502.
[15:51:09]Process exited with code -1073741502
I know it is not my app because I can call any executable it will return the exact same error code.
I have tried to set the Windows Account that runs the build agent service as administrator (temporarly) but it does not help.
Can anyone help ?

Most likely, it is something with the user agent is started under:

The build agent service is running under the user account TeamCity that I created specifically for it.
As I said I tried adding it to the admin group but it still is not working. What more privileges can I give it ?
One of the post suggested to give access rights to the window station & desktop session but it was done programmatically.
The other thing I have realized is that if I have a build step that executes PsExec I may not be able to capture the console output.
What if you login as this user and run agent interactively from using bin/agent.bat?
I did try to log in with the TeamCity user and run the bat file manually. It works as expected.
I also tried to run the agent while being logged in to see if it interacts with the desktop. Same error is produced.
Please try to run agent itself, not the bat file.
I did. Please see my edited post above yours.
What would happen, if you use attached file to run the command.
Usage: java Runner <cmd> <arg0> ... <argN>
Please run it while logged in as an agent user.

By the way, what would happen, if execute a command like this:
psexec -i -accepteula -u test -p test cmd /c "echo test > somewhere.txt"
from agent

I forgot to mention but I am using TC 7.0.2 (build 21349).
Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the issue, nor even try, because 7.0.2 is too old.
Anyway, let's check on what we have:
1) The psexec -i -accepteula -u test -p test cmd /c "echo test > somewhere.txt" started from java using attached try utility works.
2) The psexec that is run by build agent started interactively (via agent.bat start, not via service) under the same user fails.
This is very strange, because the code should be the same. I can only recommend you to update to the TC to have the problem fixed.
