Chris, PS I was wondering if you had ever ran powershell on a Win10 system and network shared drives? I can get your code starting with: %let machine = L73391; filename process pipe "powershell -Command ""Get-Process -ComputerName &machine."""; data processes; [...] run; to work just fine now. So I know it's not powershell+SAS in genaral. I now can get my powershell script to work from windows explorer, but it askes if I want to run this powershell script yes or no, and am not sure if I am using the "-noprofile -executionpolicy bypass" correctly or if it works with Windows 10 systems and netowork shares in this case? Thanks again -Keith
