snapins error (net helpmsg 1 incorrect function)

[robza]

Hello,
my config:
fedora 22 64bit
fog Version: 6237
I have problems with installing snapin.
Snapin on fog server is cmd file and it is simple unattended office 2016 installation.
Here is syntax:

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

When I start this script on pc from command line installation starts properly.
But when snapin is started by fog service I got error

Any help appreciated.

I could be wrong, happens a lot but I believe running executables via command line through UNC path’s is not a very much liked scenario.

[robza]

@Tom-Elliott is something wrong with running executables via cmd through UNC path?
Or you know different way to simply start unattended office installation?

[ITSolutions]

@robza Running commands via UNC is not a great scenario, what I usually do is map a drive with net use and use that drive then delete the mapping.

Net use z: \\upow-8.intranet\public\Office2016_PL_32B\
z:\setup.exe /adminfile z:\Unattended.msp
net use z: /delete 

This would be a better and more reliable way to set this up. I always use Z: because it usually doesn’t conflict with other common mappings such as U or H for home/user drives.

[Wayne Workman]

@robza xcopy supports UNC paths with usernames and passwords. Another option would be to xcopy the things you need first, and then execute those things locally, and delete when done.

[robza]

@ITSolutions when I tried run this script

Net use z: \\upow-8.intranet\public\Office2016_PL_32B\
z:\setup.exe /adminfile z:\Unattended.msp
net use z: /delete 

as fog snapin received code 2. Net helpmsg 2 is “The system cannot find the file specified.”

@Wayne-Workman using xcopy I’m getting Return code: 1 incorrect function.

xcopy /E /H \\upow-8\public\Office2016_PL_32B\* c:\temp\
cd c:\temp\
setup.exe /adminfile Unattended.msp

When script is started from cmd works like a charm.

@robza

xcopy "\\upow-8\public\Office2016_PL_32B\*.*" "c:\temp" /y /d /e /c /i /f /h /k /v /s

[robza]

@Wayne-Workman thank you for support.
Works like a charm.
