do you run the scripts manually or do you have it where you can run it from kaseya? if you have it running from kaseya... do you execute it as a user or system? basicly with or without the user logged in?

this is what i had to do to get it to work for me..... but i still have a problem.

i had to make a batch file called disablebatch.cmd which is located \\mikeyx\patchstaging$\austinsscripts\disablebatch.cmd - inside the .cmd file is

@echo off
echo Disableing System Restore
start wscript.exe "\\mikeyx\patchstaging$\AustinsScripts\DisableSystemRestore.wsh"
exit

i then had to make a wscript file named DisableSystemRestore.wsh which is located at \\mikeyx\patchstaging$\austinsscripts\DisableSystemRestore.wsh - inside the .wsh file is

[ScriptFile]
Path="\\mikeyx\patchstaging$\AustinsScripts\DisableSystemRestore.vbs"
[Options]
Timeout=5
DisplayLogo=1
BatchMode=0

i then had to make a vbs script named DisableSystemRestore.vbs which is located at \\mikeyx\patchstaging$\austinsscripts\DisableSystemRestore.vbs - which inside the vbs file is

'Set Args = wscript.Arguments
'If Args.Count() > 0 Then
' Drive = Args.item(0)
'Else
Drive = "C:\"
'End If

Set obj = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore")

If (obj.Disable(Drive)) = 0 Then
'wscript.Echo "Success"
Else
'wscript.Echo "Failed"
End If

'Set Args = wscript.Arguments
'If Args.Count() > 0 Then
' Drive = Args.item(0)
'Else
Drive = "D:\"
'End If

Set obj = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore")

If (obj.Disable(Drive)) = 0 Then
'wscript.Echo "Success"
Else
'wscript.Echo "Failed"
End If

'Set Args = wscript.Arguments
'If Args.Count() > 0 Then
' Drive = Args.item(0)
'Else
Drive = "E:\"
'End If

Set obj = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore")

If (obj.Disable(Drive)) = 0 Then
'wscript.Echo "Success"
Else
'wscript.Echo "Failed"
End If

'Set Args = wscript.Arguments
'If Args.Count() > 0 Then
' Drive = Args.item(0)
'Else
Drive = "F:\"
'End If

Set obj = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore")

If (obj.Disable(Drive)) = 0 Then
'wscript.Echo "Success"
Else
'wscript.Echo "Failed"
End If

i then uploaded the files and distributed them to the server in kaseya.

i made a script in kaseya called disable system restore this is how i set it up

if true - always returns True, executing THEN branch.
then step 1 execute file disablebatch.cmd located at \\mikeyx\patchstaging$\AustinsScripts\disablebatch.cmd and have it executed as user and wait for completion

if i run this script on my computer on the mikeyx domain with windows xp it works.
if i run this script on my home computer not on the mikey domain with windows xp it fails.

ive also made 3 more files to enable system restore. which has the same problem

if i run the script on my computer on the mikeyx domain with windows xp it works.
if i run the script on my home computer not on the mikey domain with windows xp it fails.

Here is an easier method using kaseya scripting only.

To disable...

Script Name: Disable - Windows - System Restore

Script Description: This script will disable Windows System Restore.



IF Check Registry Value 

   Parameter 1 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore\DisableSR

   Exists :

THEN

   Execute Shell Command

     Parameter 1 : net stop srservice

     Parameter 2 : 1

         OS Type : 0

   Set Registry Value

     Parameter 1 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore\DisableSR

     Parameter 2 : 1

     Parameter 3 : REG_DWORD

         OS Type : 0

   Set Registry Value

     Parameter 2 : 4

     Parameter 3 : REG_DWORD

         OS Type : 0

ELSE

To enable...
