Error creating Farm Alias with Powershell Module
Hi,
I am trying to create a new alias but getting a Insufficient Permissions error.
This is what I am trying:
PS C:\Users\paul> Import-Module Quest.vWorkspace.PowerShellModule
PS C:\Users\paul> Get-QVWFarm
PS C:\Users\paul> New-QVWFarm -Alias "vWorkspace Lab" -Server CB03 -Database vWorkspace_Database -Credential pnadmin
New-QVWFarm : Insufficient Permissions
At line:1 char:12
+ New-QVWFarm <<<< -Alias "vWorkspace Lab" -Server CB03 -Database vWorkspace_Database -Credential pnadmin
+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (:) [New-QVWFarm], InsufficientPermissionsException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Quest.vWorkspace.PowerShell.Module.Commands.NewQvwFarmCommand
Is the pnadmin the SQL pnadmin account? I have verified i have the password correct.
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
Yep i just found this out. I had to run PowerGUI as administrator even though I was logged on as a domain admin.. I keep forgetting that :-)
Thanks

Paul,
Yes the Credential parameter is vWorkspace SQL account, usually "pnadmin", but you wouldn't receive "insufficient permissions" for incorrect credentials here. In order to create the farm connection, you must be a local Windows administrator. Is this the case?
