I'm trying to create an extremely simple procedure to run a .bat file which works when I run it locally but not through a procedure. The bat file even executes if I use command prompt though Live Connect.
If I could even use a second command instead of the batch file such as "nvspbind -d * kl_klim6" which uses the nvspbind executable already located in the temp folder that would be great too. But neither options work through a procedure.
Are you testing for the existence of the file prior to proceeding?
Are you writing the batch file prior to execution, or is this a static file that can never be deleted?
Try to run 'executefile' against the batch file instead of using executeshellcommand. In the interim, I'll see if I can test that as well.
Honestly I was using the batch file simply because the shell command feature won't work for me. All the batch file contains is the command "nvspbind -d * kl_klim6" with an echo to create a log file to see if the procedure actually ran the batch file, which it hasn't. I did try execute file on the batch file and that didn't work either.
Really my goal is to use command shell for two commands:
cd C:\temp
nvspbind -d * kl_klim6
nvspbind is an executable that is already stored in the C:/temp folder which unbinds a driver from all network adapters.
I think execute shell command will run each of the steps independently of each other.
Try just writing one step that says C:\temp\nvspdind -d * kl_klim6
However i've also been having trouble with this step lately
Does the procedure fail or report success, and simply not perform the command? I have plenty of procedures that execute commands similar to yours, but none with an asterisk. I'm concerned that the asterisk may be causing the issue with Kaseya.
No luck with that either Elliot.
Matt: The procedure is just not running. It sits at next exec time. Whether I use the direct nvspbind command or the bat file. The bat file would eliminate you concern with the asterisk I think.
Insert a new step 2
sendMessage("nvspdind -d * kl_klim6"), "Display Now", "All Operating Systems", "Halt on Fail")
Then, make sure that the command as desired, including the asterisk, is shown perfectly on the desktop screen.
I just made a procedure with sendMessage as the only step. The procedure ran but no message displayed.
Actually I'm sorry I see the message. And yes it shows properly with the asterisk.
Just figured it out... It was the quotes and using two steps. I followed Elliot's suggestion by using C:\temp\nvspbind -d * kl_klim6 as a single step without quotes and that worked. So silly
Maybe you can help me with my problem. Trying to execute this command but doesnt seem to be working.
wusa /uninstall /kb:2718695 /quiet /norestart
I tried executing as system and as user. I never use the execute as 64 bit shell. Should i use that?
I created an identical procedure for that just last Friday.
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2823324 /norestart /quiet
You're missing the .exe
Why you need to use .exe for wusa is a mystery to me but I found the command online somewhere.
On my computer it worked without the .exe but ill try the script with it and see how that goes.
