Hello Dojo Community,
I have a C# automation script in DataMiner that backs up a specific file due to its operational sensitivity and frequent usage. The script executes successfully when scheduled via DataMiner but fails to complete the backup because:
- The remote server only allows access from a specific user account and not from the SYSTEM account that DataMiner uses by default.
- The file transfer to the remote server is denied due to permission restrictions.
Is there a way to execute a DataMiner automation script under a specific user account instead of SYSTEM?
Hello Miguel,
Are you storing the file in a network share folder? Yes
Is this remote server part of the DataMiner cluster? No, it is outside the cluster
Hi Samson,
I see that this question has been inactive for some time. Do you still need help with this? If not, could you select the answer (using the ✓ icon) to indicate that no further follow-up is needed?
Thanks just did
Hi Samson,
as far as I know it is not possible to run the script as another user.
But inside your script you could impersonate another user.
Maybe this is a g0od starting point: Impersonating User in C# causes users to be removed on LDAP synchronization – DataMiner Dojo

Hi Samson,
Please could you elaborate the backup process? Are you storing the file in a network share folder? Is this remote server part of the DataMiner cluster?
