Hey all,
I've got a 64bit windows 7 customization script (both a .bat file and a .cmd file version of the same thing) that currently is two lines long. What it does is:
ran >> gupdate.txt
gpupdate
basically I am just trying to have the script create a txt file to tell me that the script ran and then update group policy. Currently I am trying to run these scripts as post-synchronization scripts, but every time I recompose my clone pool, the scripts never run. For some reason when I was running a view 4.5 environment, everything was working fine, but since I've built this new view 5 environment, the scripts never run.
Here are some details and troubleshooting steps I've already taken:
1) the path to the script is c:\scripts\ran.bat and c:\scripts\ran.cmd (both don't run)
2) I have already set the timeout value in the reg key on the parent parent vm from 20000 ms to 120000 ms
3) I read in the documentation that the local system account runs the view composer service which executes the customization script, so I gave the local system account admin access.
4) in my pool settings in the view admin, when it asks for synchronization script location, I just enter "c:\scripts\ran.bat" or "c:\scripts\ran.cmd" without the quotes around it. I figure these don't need an interpreter so that should be fine. Has anyone else experienced any problems like mine or know why my scripts are failing? Thanks in advance.
