Distribution scripts

Hello,
i want to run a batchfile from a distribution script. The batchfile runs
without problems but now i want to add the dos command "rd" to the
batchfile. This does not work.
i tried to use the rd command and several other internal dos commands and
none of them work.
i don't understand why they won't work. In the same batchfile i run a
msiexec /x command which works perfectly.
anybody got idees.
Greetings,
Ren Engelhart

Distribution Scripts Question ???

Hello please could someone clarify the following for me...
I have a simple application object that from DISTRIBUTION
OPTIONS\APPLICATION FILES copies some files from a network drive to C:\
I then from DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS\DISTRIBUTION SCRIPTS\RUN AFTER DISTRIBUTION
run a DOS Script to register (regsvr32) a DLL that I copied down earlier.
The application is delivered on a force run basis to a user group and is not
flagged distribute always.
But the distribution script runs at each user logon is this correct????? If
it were a launch script I would expect it to?? Is it because I am
distributing in the secure system space ??

thanks in advance, Gareth

Msi-installation: no distribution-script window

Hello together
When installing a simple application a window is showed "running pre-/post-distribution script" with a progress bar. When installing a msi-application it seems that this window isn't being showed at all - only the progress-window during the msi-installation.
I'm running a long task in the pre-distribution script (uninstallation of the previous version). During the runtime of the pre-distribution script nothing is showed, so the user could think that nothing is going on and getting nervous... ;-)
I don't expect to have an output of my distribution script, just the usual distribution-script-window.
Am I doing something wrong, is it a bug or is the only way to prevent this behaviour to create a simple application that is run before the msi-installation?
Using Zenworks 7.0.1.4
kind regards,
Stefan

dtMsgBox is a good idea, but has a strange gui. I would rather place it in the center of the screen in this case than at the top and would like to change its outfit (text, color, ...).
I'd prefer if zenworks would behave in installing msi-packages as it does with simple applications.

Stopping deployment of bundles with Pre-Distribution scripts

Hi,
I want to use Pre-Distribution and Pre-Installation scripts to prevent deployment of bundles to devices.
For example: I want to deploy a java ear file only to devices that have java and jboss installed.
So during the Pre-Distribution scripts I test the existance of java and jboss on the device and I want to stop the deployment of the file bundle if this test returns FALSE.
According to the zmd-messages.log The deployment process tests the value of a Stopped boolean:
20 May 2009 08:30:34 INFO ZenService Refreshing capability 'actions'
20 May 2009 08:30:34 INFO Progress Progress.Stop Message:
20 May 2009 08:30:34 INFO Progress Is Stopped value: False
How can I set this boolean in a Script ?
Thanks for your help.

Christian,
I wrote another enhancement request for having dynamic groups that can be used to assign bundles to be installed. This is something that might help in such a situation. eDirectory has dynamic groups that get evaluated every time you check the members. Something similar in zlm would be good to see.
Regarding your script you can add something like this in the Pre Distribution section:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if rpm -q kernel-xen;
then
exit 3
fi
That would abort the bundle transaction with error 3 as you can see in the zmd-messages of the client as well asin the zlm web interface:
Code:
Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Public.ZenException: Failed to prepare bundles for install: 'PrePrepare' script failed with exit code '3'
The problem with this is that every time the managed devices refreshes, it tries again to install that bundle and throw that error. SO you might get over time a lot of errors you don't want.
We managed about 400 linux systems with zlm and we created folder structures where we organize systems depending on their primary function. We have eg. XEN folder where all xen host systems (dom0) are in. We have a PORTAL folder where all jboss portal server are in and so on.
That way we can assign bundles to that folder where it should be installed and do not need to work with bundles scripts for aborting / denying installations.
Could that be an option for you ?

Search for ZfD Agent install script

I am looking for a script / batch file for installation of the ZENworks agent without reboot of the workstation.
I am just updating from ZfD 7 SP1 ir3a to ir4 and if I install it manually and start the ZENworks services after install everything is still operational without reboot.
However if I install the agent with a ZENworks application package it always needs a reboot to activate the ZENworks services again - especially the Workstation-Manager
I tried it with pre- and post launch and distribution scripts, and with batch file installation. Everytime when the Workstation-Manager stops the installation ends but the post-scripts and batch processing stops as well. It always requires a reboot to activated the Agent again - or a manual start of the Workstation-Manager service.
I need to find just a way to call a batch file after the MSIEXEC process finishes in order to perform a "net start Workstation-manager".
The difference to other invoronments might be, that the Application is assigned to the Workstations instead to the users like in most other environments.
Thanks for your ideas, Klaus

Well .... [toot horn]
This is a link to a script I wrote in AutoIt that I used for many ZfD6 - 7 deployments. Was very successfully in getting the agent out and you run it from the login script.
Zenworks 4x - 7.x Workstation Agent Automated Deployment - Novell: ZENworks FAQ - Tek-Tips
I didn't write it to do a removal of the agent, but would be simple enough to be added. On the same forum site, in the Zen FAQ's I also posted the source code for the script I have been using to do ZCM deployments. In it has the code you would need to add to facilitate the uninstall of the agent so you can do a reinstall.

Then executes the batch file
The batch file stops the zenworks services, unloads the NAL (may not be
necessary, not sure if the msi will do this)
Batch file then installs the ZFD agent with the noreboot option.
batch file restarts each service
Problem will be the batch file really can't re-start the nal correctly.
Since the batch file will be running under the SYSTEM scope, anything it
launches will be under that scope too (ie.. the NAL), so when it loads, it
wouldn't see any user-based apps.

Workstation Import/Removal going into wrong containers!?@

We want our workstations in their proper containers. We have 900 of them
in *our* 300SM.ABQ.NM.NM container, while only having 300 computers at
this location.
We created an Application Object (AO) to:
1) zwsreg.exe -unreg
(runs as a pre-distribution script)
2) zwsreg.exe -importserver 172.16.13.2
(the server specific to this container.)
We logged the results, only to find PCs with "registered" into the proper
container had "jumped" to another container upon next login!
Are our options for zwsreg incomplete/incorrect? The DN settings are
ambiguous - does it mean the .CN=blah level or the .OU=blahblah level?
Are we required to say -importpolicy, or is it implied by the
-importserver having its own Workstation Import Policy?
Here's the clipping of the AO's log....

Your import policy would determins where the object goes then you would
do this
zwsreg -importserver 192.168.10.250 -importpolicy "Server Policy
Name:General:Workstation Import.someOU.someO"
Replace "Server Policy Name" with whatever your import policy is, and
the .someOU.someO with the path to that policy.

Upgrading to Tiger Installer problems

Ok, thanks in advance for giving a glance, and, Happiest of Holidays.
I did search and still doesn't fit my situation...
Upgrading to Tiger-retail box from OWC. I use an external partinioned 200g firewire drive as a B/U and bootable OS/software tester before installing on the Pismo. The drive has 10G space available on the bootable OS partion.
Start the Tiger DVD installer it begins and after installing Base System part 1 and moving to Running Installer Script the process stalls; doesn't crash - just stops: The FW drive stops blinking and the DVD stops spinning....
OK maybe i overlooked something etc... Have to erase the OS partition; clone 10.3.9 from the pismo to it and start again. This time do all the checks: Run disk utility, Tiger cache cleaner etc... all works well, even boot and work on the drive for a few days. Start the upgrade process again, stalls at the exact same place. I want to run Tiger on the FW drive prior to the Pismo to check it out and i don't relish the thought of having to start from scratch if problems occur installing on the Pismo....
This time i printed the log file which i include below.
I called OWC tech dept. - they said i probably don't have enough disk space for the process... the process told me it only required 3.5G. They didn't offer any further knowledge.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Peace

How to install OS X .dist packages?

I've downloaded a number of recent OSX updates that include .dist files. How can I use ARD to distribute these updates to the Macs on our network?
Thanks

ARD, to my knowledge, cannot push out anything other than .pkg and some .mpkg files.
What updates are you getting that are coming in .dist? .dist files are distribution scripts, not the updates themselves, and I've never seen them downloaded outside of a .pkg or other installer file though I haven't been having my system keep installers downloaded through Software Update so perhaps things have changed and I haven't noticed.
Anyway, you may need to download the standalone installer distributions so that you can get .pkg files for use with ARD.

Why am i having difficulty installing my new Adobe photoshop lightroom 4?

I just bought my lightroom from a store. My installer log says..."This distribution script is too new.(Requires spec version 2, current is 1.0388)
"Error parsing distribution script from data.
"Invalid distribution file package."

Download a copy of Version 4.2 from the Adobe site and apply the serial number that came with the disk you bought. That should work for you. If not, come back and tell us what operating system you're using. LR 4 won't work for Macs with OSX previous to 10.6.8.

Monitor the end of a deployment of a bundle via NalWin

Hi,
For automation purposes, I need to know when the deployment of a package is finished.
This is the command I use in a batch script/cmd :
Code:
start "Nalwin" "C:\Program files\novell\zenworks\nalwin.exe" : /A=MyApplicationJob.App.XP.Install.Nal.Zen.COMP
I just need a way to know when the package is finished to deploy. Monitoring the process "nalwin.exe" is not really an option because there can be other nalwin processes in the background.
Another way would be to make nalwin run in foreground in the cmd, but I did not found any option for that.
I tried do monitor the RegSet* operations but no luck, the last RegSet is on "HKCU\Software\Novell\ZENworks\NALExplorer\ViewsSh owing" set to "0", just before the launch of the MSI package.
I tried to enable debug mode :
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NetWare\NAL\1.0\Debug]
"Level"=dword:0000000f
"LogFileLocation"="C:\\ZFDNAL.CSV"
"Browser"=dword:00000001
"Explorer"=dword:00000001
"Reporting"=dword:00000001
But I don't see anything useful for what I need in the log (a line that indicates the successful end of the job) :

Thks.

I would create a "Post Distribution Script" or "Post Launch Script" that
did something that could be monitored.

How to remove a folder and some links from start-menu

Hi!
An application (Kaspersky Antivirus) is installed on quite
some Win2K-SP-Workstations by the Kaspersky Administration
Kit (with its own installer).
With this installation an entry to the start-menu is made
and this entry shall be removed by Zfd 3.2-SP3. I ran
through some tests with an application-object (run as secure
system user), which only intent was to remove this entry.
First I tried by "Distribution Options - Application Files"
to remove the folder "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
Windows Workstations". Then I tried a "Distribution Script"
with "RD /S /Q "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
Windows Workstations"", which also failed.
Do I miss something? Where could I check the results of
those tries to get a better feeling on what is going wrong
here?
Thanks in advance.
Karl

When doing the job with an *.bat-file it works, when going
with the distribution script it does not. Are all the
windows/dos/batch commands available in the distribution
script option?

"Net use" not working in application that runs as "system"

Hello,
I am trying to create an application object to distribute a program which
during the setup procedure creates two local users on the workstation. I
tried to set up the application to run as an unsecure system user and
start the setup.exe. This method worked fine for quite a number of apps in
the past.
However this app needs a drive mapping to a windows 2003 server to start
the setup.exe. Apparently under windows 2003 it is no longer possible to
use the "net use" command when running a script as system user. I get
system error 1312 "A specified logon session does not exist. It may have
already been terminated". There seems to be no solution from microsoft
since this is probably working as designed.
In another similar situation I copied the complete setup directory to a
novell drive, but in this case the setup procedure needs to write
information into a database located on the windows server. I might be able
to set up the application via snapshot and create the user accounts using
a distribution script. But I would need the consent of the windows
administrators since I need the passwords for those user accounts, and I
am not sure that they are cooperative in this respect. Furthermore I get
the feeling that this program is going to present a number of other
problems and surprises which probably will make the snapshot method very
tricky.
Is there any solution or workaround for this problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1) It should not be an issue to run "Net Use" to authenticate to a Windows
2003 server from an "Unsecure System Prompt". This is quite common.
2) If the PC is in the domain already, this may be part of the issue since
you are already authenticated to the domain. Try adding the Domain
Workstation Object the proper rights.
3) Does the "Setup.exe" expand to an MSI install in the temp directory? In
such a case you could like create an MSI install that runs as a normal user
but the Windows Install will allow for the elevated rights.

DB2 Connect installation for more as one application-server...

Greetings,
We've installed SAP 4.6D and migrated to ECC 6.0...
also migrated from ICLI to DB2 Connect.
We've 4 application server's on Win2k3.
What's the perfect, with best performance - installation from DB2 Connect ?
DB2 Connect on every appication server or on central instance server (connect-mode: server client) ?
I'm not found tips or document's on SAP Notes (description installation procedure for <b>more as one</b> SAP application server's).
Regards, Markus

Hay Markus,
You have the classic tradeoff here: like Thomas mentioned installing a DB2 connect on every server reduce latency but give you more work on an upgrade or definition change, installing just one DB2 connect is easier and more secure but have an inherent performance leg.
Id recommend installing on all servers with a shared parameter file or write a distribution script to distribute the file to all severs from a central location.
Good luck,
Uri Lifshitz.

Getting an Error WIJ20002 while trying to create a webi report in infoview

Hi,
We are getting an error " The Webintelligence Report Panel cannot connect to the server.Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your Business Objects Administrator ( WIJ20002)" only for a single universe.
Please suggest how can we fix this error.
Regards
Chaitanya

I am giving you couple of scenario based on which this error might occur.I include below a selection of what would seem to be the more relevant ones in your case. Please review these and try the suggested solutions and then let us know the outcome in each case.
Scenario1:
When creating a new document based on linked universes in InfoView 6.5.x, the following error message appears:
"The WebIntelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server. Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your BusinessObjects administrator. (Error: WIJ 2002)."
When you click on details, the following error message appears:
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load DS; no ID set
at com.bo.wp.om.OMDataProvider.getDataSource(OMDataProvider.java:192)
at com.bo.wp.tc.TCMain.newDocument(TCMain.java:807)
at com.bo.wp.tc.TCMain.initDocument(TCMain.java:649)
at com.bo.wp.tc.TCMain.initClient(TCMain.java:1253)
at com.bo.w.tc.thread.InitAppletRunner.run(InitAppletRunner.java:82)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)"
Resolution:
In Supervisor, the user does not have the Import Universe right in the designer.
Enable the Import Universe right for the user, and ensure they have rights at the user and group level.
Scenario2:
In BusinessObjects version 6.5, when attempting to create a new WebIntelligence report using the Java Query Panel, one of the following error messages appears:
"The Web Intelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server. Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your Business Objects Administrator (Error: WIJ 20002)"
or
u201CWeb Intelligence cannot retrieve this document due to a server problem or an error in the document structure. See your Business Objects Administrator".
Also, the bottom of the Java applet window states Launching new document.
Resolution:
The error messages occur because either the universe file name contains an ampersand character (u201C&u201D) in the name or the .unv or .unw files used by the Java Query Panel have become corrupted.
To resolve the error messages
Navigate to <installation directory>:/Business Objects/BusinessObjects Enterprise 6/nodes/<server name>/<cluster name>/universes/.
Remove the .unv file for the derived universe.
Navigate to <installation directory>: /Business Objects/BusinessObjects Enterprise 6/nodes/<server name>/<cluster name>/universes/<universe domain name>/ucdz.
Remove the .unw file for the derived universe.
Remove the ampersand character ("&") from the universe name.
Scenario3:
Problem:
Error: "The WebIntelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server. Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your BusinessObjects administrator. (Error: WIJ 20002)" when you try to open the Java Report Panel.
Resolution:
****CONFIGURATION*****
WebIntelligence version 6.1b
Windows 200 Server SP4
IIS 5
JDK 1.42_03
**********SYMPTOMS******
You try to open the Java Report Panel and you receive the following error:
"The WebIntelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server. Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your BusinessObjects administrator. (Error: WIJ 20002)"
*********CAUSE*************
You do not have the correct permissions to access files from the wiasp virtual directory. The virtual directory and all sub-directories were initially configured to use "Scripts only" or "None".
*********RESOLUTION*****
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Open the Internet Information Services Manager Console.
2. Expand the "Default Web Site" and "wiasp" directories.
3. Right-click each of the following directories, and in Properties for each, set the respective value for Execute Permissions:
scripts = "Scripts"
viewers = "Scripts"
bin = "Scripts and Executables"
classes = "Scripts"
onlineguides = "Scripts"
help = "Scripts"
distribution = "Scripts" or "None"
Scenario4:
Problem:
Error: "WebIntelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server (WIJ 20002)" when attempting to create a new report
Resolution:
****CONFIGURATION*****
WebIntelligence 6.5.x
**********SYMPTOMS******
You attempt to create a new report using the Java panel based on a universe. The universe list appears as expected, but upon selecting the universe you receive an error similar to the following:
"The WebIntelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server. Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your BusinessObjects administrator. (WIJ 20002)"
*********CAUSE*************
There is a connectivity issue to the universe and/or document domain. The universe list is still displayed because that information is cached.
*********RESOLUTION*****
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Log into Supervisor as a General Supervisor.
2. Go to Tools > Repository to open the Repository Management dialog where domain connections are listed.
3. Test the document and universe domain connections and update where needed to establish connectivity.
Scenario5:
Problem:
Error: "WIJ 20002" when launching the Java Report Panel on a Windows 2003 Server.
Resolution:
****CONFIGURATION*****
WebIntelligence version 6.5
Windows 2003
IIS 6
**********SYMPTOMS******
You launch the Java Report Panel on a Windows 2003 Server and receive the following error:
The WebIntelligence Java Report Panel cannot connect to the server. Close the report panel and try to connect again or see your Business Objects administrator. (Error: WIJ 20002).
*********CAUSE*************
This error message appears because ISAPI (Internet Server Application Program Interface) extensions are disabled by default on IIS 6.
*********RESOLUTION*****
Here are the steps to follow to enable ISAPI extensions:
1. Click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Expand the "" beside the server name by clicking the "" icon.
3. Select "Web Service Extensions."
4. Select "All Unknown ISAPI Extensions" from the right pane and click "Allow."
5. Restart the IIS web server.
I know it's a bit long but i hope this will help you to some extent in troubleshooting WIJ2002 Error.

Scanning for file or registry rights

Is there any method or tool for finding out if file or registry rights
have been changed during a setup procedure?
Every now and then I create an application via snapshot which does not
work when it is distributed. Usually those problems are due to missing
rights for users on the file system or the registry. Especially the latter
are very difficult to track down. It is not always possible or desirable
to replace the snapshot with an msi-package or running the setup as
unsecure system, so I would be very grateful for a quick method to find
the changed rights so that I can grant those by means of a distribution
script.
Thank you for your help.

filemon / regmon from sysinternals could perhaps do that
