Deployments – Condition Checks

[cfsfirey]

Hi,

Just wondering if BatchPatch has considered adding condition checks or am I missing something.

For example we use Lansweeper for Software Deployments, I fall back to BatchPatch if I need something quickly or a once off etc.

But one thing Lansweeper has is a condition check. Eg check for file, if exist to this else do that. Same for registry keys.

Is this something considered or would be useful for others?

Thanks. Yes we are considering this. For the time being you can do something like this but it requires a bit of scripting. You can terminate a job queue (or not terminate it) based on the return value of a script that you integrate. The script can check for the existence of whatever you want to check for, and then return a value accordingly.

Here is an example:

Here is a more complex example that involves contingent operations with multiple computers instead of all on a single target like in the example above:
