For some reason there is a difference between the WMI call I am making remotely (win32_process create metod with identity impersonate) and executing it as that same user while logged in. I ran the WMI command with just a whoami and it shows up as the administrator account I expect it to run as. When I copy and paste this cmd into a command prompt and execute it works fine logged in as the administrator account.
Here is the cmd:
cmd /c "C:\bvs\SQLServer2008R2_SP2_Slipstream\Setup.exe /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators" /INSTANCEID="MSSQLSERVER" /INSTANCENAME="MSSQLSERVER" /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES=SQLENGINE,REPLICATION,FULLTEXT,SSMS,ADV_SSMS /INDICATEPROGRESS="True" /QUIET="True" /X86="False" /ENU="True" /PCUSOURCE="C:\bvs\SQLServer2008R2_SP2_Slipstream\SP" /ERRORREPORTING="False" /INSTALLSHAREDDIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" /INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server" /INSTANCEDIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" /SQMREPORTING="False" /ISSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /SAPWD="xxx" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="Administrator" /AGTSVCPASSWORD="xxx" /ISSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="Administrator" /SQLSVCPASSWORD="xxx" /SECURITYMODE="SQL" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /FILESTREAMLEVEL="0" /TCPENABLED="1" /NPENABLED="0" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Disabled" /RSSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /RSINSTALLMODE="FilesOnlyMode" > "C:\bvs\Install.log" 2>&1"
