Title

Trying to run nvreport or any NetVault executable from CMD or PowerShell returns "Access is denied."
Description

Trying to run nvreport or any NetVault executable from CMD or PowerShell returns "Access is denied."
If the executable is tried to run by doing a double-click an error such as the following may be returned:
"This app can't run on your PC
To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher"
Under normal circumstances there are only two expected errors:
Error 1:
Could not connect to NetVault process manager
NetVault may not be running
Problem:
CMD/PS wasn't run as Administrator.
Solution:
Right click the CMD/PS and select Run as Administrator.
Error 2:
Failed to initiate a CLI session on server '<SERVER>' - 'Failed to logon: '
Problem:
Default account password was changed
Solution:
Set the user and password variables before running the executable:
set NETVAULTCLIACCOUNT=default
set NETVAULTCLIPASSWORD=<PASSWORD>
If there're invalid or missing parameters for the executable a help window will display the list of available parameters.
