QuickPrep and Scripts

[inno]

Hi

I'm running composer and linked clones. I want to be able to use a script when a new machine has been clond. I have a VBS script and a Bta-file on the parent image. This is the content of the BAT file:

echo off

cls

cscript c:\windows\addcomputer.vbs

I have attached a PIC from the pool configuration in Vmview Manager. The script doesn't run when a new machine is cloned.

When a new machine is ready, I can log on to it and run the BAT file. Then everything works fine.

Any suggestions?

You must use only the post synchronisation script.

Now here is the trick.

The post synchronosation script runs only the first line in your BAT file. Since the first line is Echo off, it will only run this.

To solve this, you can do the following:

- Put only your vbs into the bat file OR

- Create a second bat file that contains all your actions and run the second bat file from the first bat file. In the post synchronisation script, you use the first bat file.

I have tried both of your sugestions, but my script still doesn't run. I have attached the files that I'm trying to get to work right now.

Hmm, strange. When I do Echo test>c:\test.txt in my BAT file it executes. But When I want to run my VBS script from the BAT file it does not execute

[admin]

Are you using cscript.exe to call it from the batch?

In your addcomp2.bat, please try to put cscript.exe instead of cscript (without .exe) and test it?
