Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Help with a bat or cmd script

I need a batch (ie .bat or .cmd) logon script that will check if the hostname is one of the 20
& if so, then only execute a series of commands on the PC. The pseudo code will be like:

if %computername%="host1" or ... or %computername%="host20"
then
(
command 1
command 2
)

Basically I need to get the syntax right

I would like to use AD logon script to set persistent routes on selected PCs in our domain:
... some checks on the selected PCs (ie those with hostnames starting with ABC...) ..., then only execute commands below
route del 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 current_gateway
route add -P 10.6.7.0 mask 255.255.255.0 new_gateway

Can it be done?

Understand the above command requires admin privilege & a colleague told me it will fail as domain
/AD users don't have admin rights. To put it into GPO is too complex, so we want to put into user
logon scripts

Hello,

done a search and haven't found anything exactly like what I'd like to do.

We have a single domain with users in multiple locations. Each main location has its own file server and users map their home drive based on their location. We've had issues with home drives not mapping in remote locations that do not have a local server. We believe it may be timing out, that issue is being looked into.

Rather than have our IT staff manually map the drives, I'd like to do a small script we could place on their desktop that allows users to put their primary location, which would then map their home drive to the correct server. Something like this.

Please select your primary location:
0 = HQ
1= Region 1
2= Region 2
3 = Region 3
4 = Region 4

Based on their answer I assume it would then run a command

HQ
Net Use K:\\hqserver\vol\%username%

Reg 1
Net Use K:\\r1server\vol\%username%

Reg 2
Net Use K:\\r2server\vol\%username%

Reg 3
Net Use K:\\r3server\vol\%username%

Reg 4
Net Use K:\\r4server\vol\%username%

I've tried writing a few, but scripting is definitely not a strong suit. I'm sure it would take a talented scripter about 2 minutes.

TIA

I created a script that collects information on computers in our environment. It's very basic, and uses commands like "Systeminfo", "Ipconfig", "Set User", and even queries the registry to find any ODBC connections on systems. Then, I have all of the information export to a text file that is saved on a network share that I created. Here is the actual script I am using (I hid the actual name of our server in the initial "SET LOG" section:

@echo off

I created the following script to create a fake reg key, if the key isn't present - install software. If the key is there, fall out and end the execution.

The script works just fine. My challenge is when it executes, i get the dialog box pop up - which i do NOT want to be displayed.

Again, the script works fine - but how can i edit the script so i DO NOT receive the notification dialog box as shown in the attachment? (prefer to leave it as a .cmd script if possible). Thanks!

@echo off
rem queries if fake regkey is present
reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DotNetCheck"
if %errorlevel%==1 (goto Install) else (goto End)
REM If errorlevel returns value 1, key is not present and prgm will create key and install .net3.5

:Install
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\DotNetCheck
dism /online /quiet /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:\\ds-dfs01\sxs /LimitAccess

Checking Folders

Evening Experts,

I am trying to find a solution either using VBA in excel or another kind of process.

I want to be able to check folders in a directory to see if any files exist in them. If files are found in a folder, I would like to create a txt file with the name of the folder and the name of the files inside that folder. In a separate text a list of empty files.

If I was going down the excel approach, I would like the same as above but I would like to include an hyperlink of the files in the folder so that I can can open them direct.

Thanks for your help

Windows bartch script

Hello
I have a batchfile with below command, which works good.

msiexec /L c:\setup.log /qn /i %SCRIPTDIR%\setup.msi transforms=\\server\share\%computername%.mst

We are changing the pattern now
we have now \\server\share\parameters.txt
the text file contains the parameters like below
101 param1 param2
102 param3 param4

So if I am running on PC named "ABS101" the batchfile should check the text file and matches 101 and run the setup with parameters next to 101.

is that possible?

I need to create a batch file that backs up a file then deletes the original file so that I can download a file with the same name.

As follows:

del myfileBackup.csv
copy myfile.csv myfileBackup.csv
del myfile.csv
...
myapplication --username --password --formID --output myfile.csv

The problem I am running into is when a file is deleted/renamed it ties up that file and prevents the next step.

I get an error message

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

This caused my import/download to fail.

I appreciate any help that can be provided.

Thanks!
