Snapins again

Tom Elliott

As I’ve said before, I’m fairly sure batch scripts don’t work nicely on UNC paths. You can use batch to map a unc path but running filea directly from unc always seems hit or miss. While you can do it manually, sometimes, scripts don’t seem to like doing it.

@Tom-Elliott I’ve never had issues copying files straight from UNC paths though, although I use copy /y instead of xcopy most of the time so results may vary.

Tom Elliott

@Quazz I didn’t pay close enough attention and didn’t see the xcopy of the file. That said maybe the OP can try using copy /y vs. xcopy?

Quazz

@Tom-Elliott Also, adding the backslash to the targetpath is sometimes necessary, I seem to recall copy commands asking if it’s a file or directory when that’s not specified, lol.

Yes script run manually work.
With /wait instead /c task stuck.

Quazz

@robza Start /wait , not cmd /wait?

This share is readable for everyone. It is no domain computer (it is linux with samba).
Script run manualy works perfectly.
Running snapin with this content:

\\upow-8.intranet\public\Office2016_PL_32B\setup.exe /adminfile \\upow-8.intranet\public\Office2016_PL_32B\Unattended.msp

in fog.log got this:

xcopy supports UNC paths. Ever since I found that out, I stopped doing mapped drives in scripts.

fry_p

@robza and @Wayne-Workman, just thinking out here. So we know the script runs flawlessly manually. Sorry if this is a silly question, but which user do you run it as? I believe the snapins run as SYSTEM (i think, correct me if I’m wrong). Could this have anything to do with the discrepancy we are seeing?

Wayne Workman

@fry_p They do run as the SYSTEM user. One thing to do is redirect output to a log file for every line. Then you will be able to see where it fails.
