Snapin downloads

[Roger Saffle]

made a simple cmd file that just does an ifconfig and pipes it to a text file
ipconfig >c:\ip.txt

file runs fine manually. I am trying to push it out via a snapin. The fog.log show it as downloaded. Then it shows it as starting install, but never does anything after that. I dont think it actually installs. Any ideas?

[Junkhacker]

i assume that this is a .bat file
make sure that a space or carriage return follows the last command in the file.

[Roger Saffle]

yes it is a bat file. It did not have a carriage return. Trying again now.

[Roger Saffle]

I put a carriage return at the end of the file. Same results. Last line says
Starting Fog Snapin Installation
and nothing after that.

[Junkhacker]

when you installed the client service, did you “run as administrator” to install it? did you install for all users?

[Roger Saffle]

I believe we did both. The client does work to rename the PC and to deploy printers.

[Junkhacker]

after you edited the file, did you try uploading it with the same name as before? if so, it’s likely that it didn’t upload at all as the the web server doesn’t have rights to overwrite files in that directory.

[Roger Saffle]

No, I gave it a new name.

[Junkhacker]

i’m not sure why it’s not working then
the following is what i use as a test snapin
[CODE]@echo off
echo “HELLO I INSTALLED SNAPIN1 ON MY SYSTEM” > C:\installedSnapin1.txt
[/CODE]

[Roger Saffle]

Me either. Does this look right (see attached img) ?

also my scrip is simply

cd
ipconfig /all >c:\ip.txt

I tried it on my home fog server. Got the same issue. Least I consistently fail. Here is the fog.log

HOLY @#$%@$# I got it to work. i added the /c in the argument parameters. I will try to duplicate tomorrow and report back.

[Roger Saffle]

yep have to add the /c in the “snapin run with arguments” box . It is not optional.

[Tom Elliott]

What if you remove the /c argument AND the run with cmd.exe argument?

[Roger Saffle]

I think it fails with the same above error. I will verify tonite. Thanks again for your time and effort.

[Roger Saffle]

Tom,
If I left those two fields blank, the snapin seems to run just fine.
