Attacking Enterprise Networks - Lateral Movement - Privilege escalation

Hi!

I have been trying to get the privilege escalation on MS01 in this section with the Sysax FTP Automation exploit, but I just can’t get it to work.
I followed the section instructions step-by-step but the automation software just doesn’t start my batch file. I have even tried the steps with nc.exe as written in the ExploitDB, but still nothing.

My pwn.bat file content looks like this for the nc version:
c:\temp\nc.exe localhost 1337 -e cmd

and this for the section group add version:
net localgroup administrators ilfserveradm /add

Tried some extra commands in PS like gpupdate or reboot -l but it did not change the problem. Also, I have tried the same with a .ps1 file and an .exe file generated by msfvenom with the same command.

The Sysax task manager windows was closed when trying to trigger with file addition as instructed.
I have even tried the schedule version triggered by time or manually, but still the same.

I am really stuck here. Any ideas on this?
Thanks!

I have exact problem, can anyone help I’m getting realy frustrated.
