The %date% variable likely has characters in it that are invalid for a filename, such as /.<br />
<br />
I suggest this:<br />
<br />
set name=%serial%%date:~10,4%%<wbr />date:~4,2%<wbr />%date:~7,2<wbr />%<br />

</div>


<div>
oops, left out the underscore _ <br />
<br />
set name=%serial%_%date:~10,4%<wbr />%date:~4,2<wbr />%%date:~7,<wbr />2%<br />

</div>

Still getting &quot;The syntax of the command is incorrect.&quot; , acts like it is getting stuck on the WMIC command and not getting to the rest, but when I run directly in the command line the line works fine. I also know the SIW command is correct because it works in another version of the script that we are currently using. We are currently using &quot;set name = %random%_%date%&quot; <br />
<br />
FYI, we changed the date regional setting to dd-mm-yy<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-122158"><span>wmic bios get serialnumber /value &gt;&gt; %serial%</span>
<span>set name=%serial%_%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%</span>
<span>siw /log:html=c:\%name%.html /silent /s:1073741829 /h:1 /n:0</span>
<span>Echo The File was created, located at: c:\%name%.html</span>
</code></pre>

I had to remove echo from &quot;do echo Set %%a&quot;, but good to go..

Ok, so we have a script that launches SIW and exports the log as a file, you can set the file name. I need to save these files locally then a upload.exe application will start so the tech can upload to the server. The files names must be unique! But when i run this i get a Syntax error... Ideas? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
A bonus, if someone has some ideas to automate the upload would be awesome!<br />

Save SIW log as Serial Number of System.
