ClonePrep customization script issue (7.11)

[cerede2000]

Hi,

I have a problem with the execution of the customization script of ClonePrep with Windows 7 SP1 full update.

With Windows 10 no problem!

I activated the full log mode and here is what I see in the file:

2020-04-08T18:10:27.728+02:00 DEBUG (0740-075C) <1884> [vmware-svi-ga] svmga::core::windows::Guest::SecureScript(): Script Name: Post-Customization, Script Path: "C:\Windows\Temp\Start.bat"

2020-04-08T18:10:27.728+02:00 DEBUG (0740-075C) <1884> [vmware-svi-ga] svmga::core::windows::Guest::SecureScript(): Failed Creating Post-Customization, Hash File: 0x80070003

...

2020-04-08T18:10:58.834+02:00 DEBUG (0740-075C) <1884> [vmware-svi-ga] svmga::core::windows::Guest::RunPostCustomizationScript(): Failed To Execute Post-Customization Script. It Was Not Secured

I tried to place the script in different places:

C: \ Windows \ Temp

C: \ ProgramData

And I always get the same error.

In the documentation it says:

Important:

Put the ClonePrep customization scripts in a secure folder to prevent unauthorized access.

What does secure folder mean?

What is the error I get indicating that the script is not secure?

And why don't I have this problem with Windows 10?

Thank you in advance for your help !

Hi cerede2000

Perhaps the script is not being called in secure way.

Specify below path in post-customization script under pool setting and try again:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe C:\script\start.bat

Make sure start.bat is placed under C:\script folder on master image. Also if you run the script manually on master image manually, how long it takes to run?  By default, ClonePrep terminates a script if the execution takes longer than 20 seconds. You can increase this timeout limit. For details, see Increase the Timeout Limit for ClonePrep and QuickPrep Customization Scripts.

Alternatively, you can specify a script that runs another script or process that takes a long time to run.
