Script manager batch script samples (Local administrator and managing DNS records)

[#1]

Sample workflows running batch scripts.

• Add domain user to administrator local group
• Add record to DNS
• Add record to DNS with optional PTR
• Delete record from DNS

These were created with the help of the guest script manager package.

Hey there.  I hit a small bug.  When I tried to run a batch operation it blew up right at the end on the very last step "Delete file in guest".  You have a decision which checks for powershellScriptGuestPath defined.  In the scriptable task "set for bat" I added an output for powershellScriptGuestPath and set it to null and that fixed it.

Heya... I have been trying to use this to do some post provisioning activities and I can't seem to get a script to work.  I can get this to work if I use the "Run a program in a guest" and issue a single command at a time but for some reason it isn't working with this package.  I am just trying to activate the machine.  Here is the content of my script.

mkdir c:\configlog

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v SearchList /f /t REG_SZ /reg:32 /d domain1.com,domain2.com

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v SearchList /f /t REG_SZ /reg:64 /d domain1.com,domain2.com

c:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe /nologo /B c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -ipk ourWindowsLIcenseKey

c:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe /nologo /B c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -ato

The first 3 lines are working but the cscript lines aren't.  I have tried using just c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs as well.  Any clue what I can do to get this to work?
