Snapins batch based are not working propperly when $ in path

x23piracy · May 18, 2016, 4:23 AM

Hi,

i found out that snapins based on batch files does not work propperly when using unc paths that contain a dollar $.
When using the same batch with an unc path without the $ everything is working fine.

Little example:

Not working

@echo off
cscript \\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\2003kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\2007kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\2010kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\2013kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\2016kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\2013_2016c2r.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
\\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\setup.exe /configure \\vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\proplus.xml
EXIT

Working

@echo off
cscript \\it4005\install\Office365\2003kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\it4005\install\Office365\2007kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\it4005\install\Office365\2010kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\it4005\install\Office365\2013kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\it4005\install\Office365\2016kill.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
cscript \\it4005\install\Office365\2013_2016c2r.vbs All /Q /NoCancel /BYPASS 1
\\it4005\install\Office365\setup.exe /configure \\it4005\install\Office365\proplus.xml
EXIT

Could that be fixed please?

Regards X23

Are you able to run the batch file with $ UNC path by hand? Which error do you get when running this as snapin?

Joe Schmitt · May 18, 2016, 4:12 PM

If you are able to run those scripts manually (with $ UNC paths), than would be a restriction of running as SYSTEM. There is nothing the client can do about this.

Wayne Workman · May 18, 2016, 5:14 PM

I ran a default profile deploying script via snapins today from a share with a dollar sign at the end and it worked fine. Given I’m probably a few versions behind at work.

@Wayne-Workman here are my logs for the presented batch files, the one with $ making problems and the one without $ working:

When trying to install snaping with $ in batch i get error code 5
the share on it4005 is accessible by everyone an the share on vs-ha-backup by authenticated users (domain) under which context is the snapin running? While trying to install the snapin iam logged on as domain admin.

Quazz · May 19, 2016, 2:31 AM

@x23piracy Hi, error code 5 is a windows error that means Access denied, so there’s some permission/rights issue somewhere, either on your share (which is likely since it’s a hidden share) or with the account executing it (which is SYSTEM so unlikely)

If you manually enter \vs-ha-backup\install$\MSOffice\Office365\setup.exe for instance, does it open the file? (do this on a clean system)

x23piracy · May 19, 2016, 9:34 AM

@Quazz Hi, thank you i could fix the problem it was really an access problem, right for everyone was missing, i broke the share and inherited everyone for only that folder and now it works. Great

Snapins batch based are not working propperly when $ in path
