I have a project coming up next weekend in fact (April 24th - 27th) where 400 machines need an application installed. My workplace is a hospital so it's a 24/7/365 environment and this app impacts patient care. Thus, my anxiety that ME won't push this successfully.
How My Script Works
With that in mind I'm using three separate batch files that each serve a separate purpose -- one copies all the software files to the local computer from a NAS share. The 2nd .bat file uninstalls the existing version of the software. the 3rd .bat file installs the new software.
Finally I use a single script (another .bat file) to call each of those three in the proper order.
I call it my "copycaller" script. (it copies and then it calls, seems to make sense to me)
That copycaller script if you drop it on the C drive of any computer and then launch it by using RDP it runs perfectly fine -- no errors no issues. The application installs and I log in and test it with success.
So point is these scripts are working.
Here is my problem
When I drop that "copycall.bat" file into the script repository on Endpoint Central / Manage Engine and then set my configuration to deploy it to a test workstation.
It will run and it even gives the green "success" indication -- but its only half installing the application. It never installs the main portion of the client software.
I can't figure out why its doing that.
Again. My only issue left with the scripting is it doesn't work with Manage Engine pushing it out.
Very frustrating, because I just need ME to be the delivery tool to get it to my 400 machines that's it. The "complicated" part is done -- writing the scripts. I would have thought ME pushing it out would be straight forward.
At any rate appreciate any insight on advice any can provide in a timely fashion.
Thanks.
Tom
