    OPC.Three..

    The difference I see between your setup and mine from this is that I'm using a Domain account, rather than a local machine account.

    Do you get the same behaviour with a Local account as with a Domain one?

    That is a valid point so I just tried this with a Domain Account and it did work. Here is what I did:

    - Drop the test Agent Job

    - Drop the test Proxy

    - Drop the test Credential

    - Create the Credential with the Domain Account (only has access to server based on MyServer\Users Local Group containing MyDomain\Domain Users Domain Group)

    - Create Proxy using Credential

    - Create Agent Job with PowerShell Step that uses Proxy

    - Ran the job -> step output contained 'Access Denied'

    - Granted WMI Control Remote Enable permission on ROOT\CIMV2 namespace to my domain user

    - Ran the job -> step output contained volume info as expected
