Batch file to Output

[Phil]

I have setup a small batch file with output to the console to check and see if a couple functions of the OS are enabled. I would like to use batchpatch to remotely deploy this batch file and record the output to a log on the local workstation I’m running this from.

I used the Deploy Software/patch/script/regkey etc and it ran the batch file with no issues. I then check the box to retrieve the console output and it will no longer work and there is no output.

Is there more I need to do?

That checkbox is not compatible with all scripts, hence the note below the checkbox that explains it ‘may cause a deployment to fail/error in some cases.’ If you share your script, I might be able to help get it to work.

Hi Doug,

Here’s the script I’m working with. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Phil

Thanks, Phil. Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be able to make this compatible with the ‘retrieve console output’ option in this version of BP. Realistically it probably needs to be re-written in powershell or vbscript or similar to get it working right now. However, Scott thinks he just figured out why it’s not working as-is with the current code, so I think we probably ought to be able to get this working in the next version of BP.

Thanks for taking a look. I will see what I can do with PS.

[doug]

No problem. Also FYI Scott did get it working after altering/updating some of our code, so the fix will be included in the next release.
