I've just starting having problems passing variables to Windows XP computers. I've tried using %USERPROFILE% also tried "get variable" using registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Desktop and both work on Vista/Win7 computers.

Here is the scritp:



Script Name: Disk Usage Desktop

Script Description: Used the DU.exe from Sysinternals to report disk usage on CurrentUser\Desktop folder.

Log file is located in "Get File" under DiskUsage folder.



IF True 

THEN

   Write File

     Parameter 1 : #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\du.reg

     Parameter 2 : VSASharedFiles\DirSize\du.reg

         OS Type : 0

   Execute Shell Command

     Parameter 1 : regedit /s #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\du.reg

     Parameter 2 : 0

         OS Type : 0

   Write File

     Parameter 1 : #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\du.exe

     Parameter 2 : VSASharedFiles\DirSize\du.exe

         OS Type : 0

   Get Variable

     Parameter 1 : 0

     Parameter 2 : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Desktop

     Parameter 3 : desktoppath

         OS Type : 0

   Execute Shell Command

     Parameter 1 : #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\du -q -v #desktoppath# >> #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\disk_usage_desktop.txt

     Parameter 2 : 0

         OS Type : 0

   Get File

     Parameter 1 : #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\disk_usage_desktop.txt

     Parameter 2 : DiskUsage\disk_usage_desktop.txt

     Parameter 3 : 1

         OS Type : 0

   Delete File

     Parameter 1 : #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\du.exe

         OS Type : 0

   Delete File

     Parameter 1 : #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\disk_usage_desktop.txt

         OS Type : 0

   Delete File

     Parameter 1 : #vAgentConfiguration.agentTempDir#\du.reg

         OS Type : 0

I'd like to test this, what are the contents of the du.reg?

and by the by, %userprofile% is probably failing because of the space in Documents and settings. you might want to try "#desktopPath#"

Changes I made:
Disabled the first 2 steps because i dont have the .reg file
Changed step 4 to use %userprofile%
Added double quotes around the #desktoppath# variable in step 5
Added /accepteula switch in step 5 in liu of the .reg file

Tested on XP and Vista boxs both worked... sorry no windows 7 Yet...

Edit/update: Im guessing the .reg file is to prevent the eula thingy from popping up.... no need to post...

Using quotes around the variable fixed it. Thanks.

DU.reg just creates the reg value to accept the EULA.

On the DU command line, add a -accepteula parm to auto accept the EULA
