OK, so I just posted this and xacn't locate it anywhere so posting again...

I'm attempting to use roundhouse to deploy a db to a remote share however I keep getting an error that makes no sense to me.  Everytime I run it I get the following woefully unhelpful message:

Can you please explain what it means?

Do I need to use access credentials as this is specified anywhere in the documentation.  If so, how is this achieved?

Here is my implementation:

public Restore()
        {
            Define(settings =>
            {

                DeploymentStepsFor(Baseline,
                    s =>
                    {
                        VerifyDeploymentIsSafe(this);

                        //prepare for copying
                        var copyFromPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(settings.DbRestoreRemoteArchive, settings.DbRestoreFile);
                        bool copyToLocalPath = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(settings.DbServerBaselineFolderUnc);
                        var copyToFolder = copyToLocalPath ? settings.DbServerBaselineFolder : settings.DbServerBaselineFolderUnc;
                        var copyToPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(copyToFolder, settings.DbRestoreFile);

                        System.Console.WriteLine("CopyFromPath: {0}", copyFromPath);
                        System.Console.WriteLine("CopyToLocalPath: {0}", copyToLocalPath);
                        System.Console.WriteLine("CopyToFolder: {0}", copyToFolder);
                        System.Console.WriteLine("username: {0}", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());
                        //System.Console.WriteLine("CopyToPath: {0}", copyToPath);

                        //System.Console.WriteLine("Copying baseline from {0} to {1}", copyFromPath, copyToPath);

                        s.CopyFile(copyFromPath).ToDirectory(copyToFolder);

                    });

                DeploymentStepsFor(Db,
                    s =>
                    {
                        VerifyDeploymentIsSafe(this);

                        //prepare for restoring
                        var restoreFromPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(settings.DbServerBaselineFolder, settings.DbRestoreFile);

                        //System.Console.WriteLine("Running roundhouse restore and update against {0}...", restoreFromPath);

                        s.CommandLine("rh.exe")
                            .Args(
                                string.Format(
                                    "--db={0} --server={1} --env={2} --files=Scripts --restore --restorefrom=\"{3}\" --restoreoptions=\"{4}\" --noninteractive --simpleoutput --ct={5}",
                                    settings.DbName, settings.DbServer, settings.Environment, restoreFromPath,
                                    settings.DbRestoreOptions, settings.CommandTimeout))
                            .ExecutableIsLocatedAt(".");

                    });
            });
        }

This error looks to be an error with WMI process. Something in authenticating to the server when you are trying to copy the backup I imagine?
This part loses me. Is there something in the RoundhousE task that is limiting you and sending you back to calling the executable instead?
 

                    });
            });
        }

Hi,

The machine it is trying to copy the files do, is it on the same network, or is it out to another data center (like Amazon or Rackspace)?  Does the account you are running under have the necessary account access to copy to that machine?

Dropkick (which is being used here to copy the files to target machine), generally works best on the same network where machines can talk to each other and have WMI enabled.  If that is not the case (like an Amazon EC2 situation), you may need to open some firewall holes to let WMI function.  I wrote a post about those steps specifically Amazon, although most of it should apply in other situations too: http://mooneyblog.mmdbsolutions.com/index.php/2013/11/01/accessing-an-amazon-vm-through-wmi/

The issue could also be if your deploy process is running under an account that does not have access to the target machine.  This could be if you are using local system accounts, or again if your target machine is on another network and there are no shared network accounts.  I have been working on a PR to enable this, which has gone through a fair amount of testing, but we're still working on getting incorporated into the Dropkick core.  If  you're interested, the PR is here https://github.com/chucknorris/dropkick/pull/58 and the branch is here: https://github.com/mmooney/dropkick/tree/remoteuser
