spudw2k Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What are the share and file perms for the .\cofs share? Have you tested running the scripts as the ..-adm service account to verify the script works and the account has proper perms?

jguinch Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Personnaly, for this kind of execution, I declare a new MDT application (using Application without source files or elswere on the network) with a .bat script stored on the deployment share.This .bat connects to the server using credentials that I specify (in clear in the .bat file) with a net use command and then run the command that I want.I don't think it's a good practice (because the password is not encrypted), but it avoids me to edit several task sequence, I just have to edit the .bat file once, that's all.Note that the .bat file can be replaced by an AutoIt script, compiled or not.

spudw2k Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) @jguinchCouldn't you configure your share perms for Everyone to have Read-Only, that way you don't have to provide credentials? Of course, if you are required to disable the User Rights Assignment Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users, the perms won't work.

Administrators Jon Posted September 22, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 22, 2015 One thing to watch out for is the version of WinPE you use. If you use an x64 version of WinPE then you must use a x64 version of Autoit - the x86 version won't work. Apart from that there shouldn't be any issues. Well, none I've come across.

iamtheky Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Does the path exist in the users proflle (at that point, i dont exactly know where that is in the install)? What happens if you uncheck the bottom box?

So I made multiple applications instead of using the AutoIT files, I got the same errors. Not sure why I thought I wouldn't...So now, I'm confused about something in MDT. I thought it used the credentials entered at the beginning were used throughout the whole deployment process?Will I need to make a separate share now with access for everyone, or setup a batch file like jguinch mentioned?Is there no way to manually plug in credentials at the start of the 'application deployment' section?

jguinch Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Do you really need to run the script with the specified account, or just have acces to the remote share ?Maybe you should add a DriveMapAdd call at the beginning of your script to access the remote share with the good rights.You should make a log file (or use some MsgBox) with a AutoIt exe to see what happens. For example, use DriveMapAdd and look at what it returns, and the try with FileExits Run[Wait] or ShellExecute[Wait].

For example, use DriveMapAdd and look at what it returns, and the try with FileExits Run[Wait] or ShellExecute[Wait]. Yes the share is password protected from other users. However, I suppose I could just copy them locally to the deployment server?The most recent error I received when making each application to install an 'application' within MDT was 'unexpected error code 2'.I looked up the error code and it typically means file not found.So my question is, how can I get the AutoIT script to use the rights for a user account with access to the shares I need?

jguinch Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It seems your problem is relative to MDT, not AutoIt.I use several AutoIt scripts with MDT (created as application), stored in the <DeploymentShare>\Applications\MyApps\script.exeThe MDT application is created like this :Command line : script.exeWorking directory : .\Applications\MyApps Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Random theory:I think the only reason you are seeing Autoit in the errors, is because it is the first item in the State Restore Group, and anything in that group would fail. I think it is still an environment error, but I would move my bet to the boot order of the machine. In that you reboot back into your PE instead of the HD. ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
