Hi there.
I have a script to check a file existence on remote server and out-file to result to a txt file on shared folder, but it failed with access denied error.

Foreach ($name in $serverlist)
{
$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $name
Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock {
if ((Test-Path "c:\test.txt") -eq "True")
{
Write-Output $name "file exists" >> "\server\shared folder\result.txt"
}
else {
Write-Output $name "file not found" >> "\server\shared folder\result.txt"
}
}
}

The error is "Access to the path \server\shared folder\result.txt" is denied. however i have verified the permission, the user which runs this script was granted full permission on the shared folder.

Can anyone help to advise what's going wrong?

Thanks.
