Logoff script terminated prematurely on windows 7

I have a logoff script that backup the user profile, it works fine on all but one computer, it seems that the script is just killed but I can't figure out why
I already changed MaxGPOScriptWait to 0 and gpssvc PreshutdownTimeout to ffffffff and I also see winlogon warnings 6005, 6006, user profile service 1530 and user32 1073

Hi,
We can use the gpresult /h GPReport.html command to generate a Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) report. We could check if the policy setting gets applied successfully from the report. Besides, can you run the
script manually on the computer?
In addition, for this just occurs to one computer, we can try to use clean boot to re-boot the computer and check if the logoff script can run successfully.
For detailed information about how to perform a clean boot in Windows, we can refer to the following link:

Scripting file copy to windows server

Hi all,
We need the ability to copy files from the Mac G5's running 10.4.x to a windows based server (2003) across our LAN. Looked at scripting Terminal but it does not seem to support apple script the way I would like - ie copy /file to //server.
The reason we need to do the copy like this is to prevent resource forks and the .ds_store from coping as well, more of a unix copy. These hidden files are really messing up the system we are coping to (SQL DB).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Bill

I don't know enough about Visual Basic to feel
competant to run a script to do this. I disagree with
the statement that there is "nothing to fix" however.
These dot files litter our Windows server and even
with Blue Harvest running I am constantly having to
use the Server Management Console to close these dot
files so that our real files can be moved, copied, or
deleted because when the server sees these as open it
sees the real file as open even when it isn't.
I had the option of FSM (File Services for Macintosh)
with the server, but we have thousands of files that
would have to revert back to 31 character filenames.
Rather than do that, I chose to stick with the SMB
protocol. It's a right pain getting it to work and
then we have the dot files on top of it. It wouldn't
be an issue with a Mac server, but I don't have one.
So, in my view Apple still has not fixed this.
I'm glad I asked the question though, because I made
the assumption that Tiger fixed this. Since it hasn't
I have yet another reason to stay in Panther.
And what happens with the files that still need resource forks? They're are still a Mac applications out there that make use of metadata. How are you going to selectively decide which metadata to preserve? Have ever had to help a user whose files suddenly turned into "unix executable" files after copying them to a server? You'll quickly realize that there are instances when metadata must be preserved.

Logoff script is not completing on computers in remote locations

Hi folks,
We're running a logoff script on our Win7 Enterprise SP1 machines that invokes three robocopy statements which copy various local directories to our Netapp as a backup. The logoff script is called through GP at 'User Configuration|Policies|Windows Settings|Scripts
(Logon/Logoff)'.
If the machine is in the corporate office, there is no trouble, the script completes, and all files are copied. If the machine is located at our branch office (connected across the WAN via an IPSEC tunnel), or by Directaccess, the third robocopy statement
will not complete, and the logoff script just exits as the user is logged off. The robocopy log is truncated in the middle of the copy. This script can be run interactively and it will complete without difficulty. It would seem that the copy is taking
too long to complete?
In researching this, I found that the default time allowed for a logon/logoff/startup/shutdown script to complete is 10 minutes, and that this can be changed through GP at 'Computer Configuration|Policies|Administrative Templates|System|Scripts|Maximum
wait time for group policy scripts'. The trouble is that even in remote locations, the script fails way before that default 10 minute timeout. In fact, the script runs slightly less than a minute before the logoff occurs. I tried setting the max wait time
to 0 (infinite time), but that did not help.
I've also tried breaking the three robocopy commands out into separate batch files and invoking each with a 'call' statement, and adding 'start /wait' in front of each command, but neither of those worked either.
Does anyone have a clue why the logoff script is exiting so quickly? Thanks for any help,
ianc

Do your robocopy statements log to a file? It may be worth while to tweak your batch scripts a bit to generate a log.
@echo off
echo. & echo Backing up Data Set 1 - Please Wait ...
@echo %date% %time% - Starting Robocopy 1 of 3 >> C:\Logoff.log
robocopy /s /w /i /t /c /h /e /s source1 destination1 /log+:C:\Logoff.log
@echo %date% %time% - Finished Robocopy 1 of 3 >> C:\Logoff.log
echo. & echo Backing up Data Set 2 - Please Wait ...
@echo %date% %time% - Starting Robocopy 2 of 3 >> C:\Logoff.log
robocopy /s /w /i /t /c /h /e /s source2 destination2 /log+:C:\Logoff.log
@echo %date% %time% - Finished Robocopy 2 of 3 >> C:\Logoff.log

@echo %date% %time% - Finished Robocopy 3 of 3 >> C:\Logoff.log

@echo %date% %time% - Exiting Script >> C:\Logoff.log
exit /b
Depending on the results of that, you may want to consider maybe creating a different script to perform some tests to validate network connectivity. The example below is a bit over the top but we ended updoing something similar to what's below for
testing remote connections, especially when users had intermittent connectivity problems. (Hence the goto top)
@echo off

How to create and add a logon/logoff script to populate last user into the computer field in AD

Hi All,
Bit stuck here,
Not sure what forum to put this is as it involves different subjects,
I work in a Server 2008 RT environment and have access to Active Directory etc.
I saw this a few weeks ago - http://ivan.dretvic.com/2012/10/automatically-generate-description-field-for-computers-in-active-directory/
Now, I'm not particularly sure what to do here, I don't know how to create a group policy etc. How to implement it in a test environment etc. Never done this before.
Can somebody give me a step by step guide on literally everything that would be involved in this?
Or any links that may be able to help?
I basically want the AD to show who was the last user that logged into a specific client when the client named is searched for in the Computers OU, and if possible being able to pull the make/model and serial number from the client aswell.
If possible there should be a way of including this with the existing login script that we already have, how can I do this?
I've tried a few so far and got stuck, I have domain admin priveledges also.
Thanks,
Regards, Max.

Hi Max,
Please refer to the following article to learn how to create a logon/logoff script via GPO:
Assign User Logon Scripts

Script stops automatically on windows server 2008, IE8 is not launched or it doesn't navigate

QTP 11.0 - Script stops automatically on windows server 2008, IE8 and works fine on other standalone machines having Windows 7. Pls advise. It is very weird, it suddenly stops launching IE8. Sometimes it launches IE8 but des not navigate from one step to another. I have scheduled it using a vbscript though windows scheduler. I tired to uninstall QTP, then reinstall, it works fine for first run but stops again.

To Wendy23,
Just for clarity, the Windows Server 2008 OS that I ran ROBOCOPY and XCOPY on was the non-R2 version. Microsoft might have fixed this issue in R2.
You'll probably need to logon as local Administrator or use an account belonging to the local Administrators group.
Also, open the Command Prompt using "Run as Administrator" (right-click on Command Prompt), then run the XCOPY and ROBOCOPY commands from within this prompt.
To answer G.Write, the storage is local hard disks.
Thanks, was a long time ago, I was having a problem with robocopy not copying permissions on a SAN, and was wondering if the SAN was the problem, but your method worked fine for me, thanks.

Script to close finder windows

Hi,
I have a network volume that mounts automatically (I drug it into login items). Someone gave me this script to close it, which I also have put into login items. Works great.
tell application "Finder"
close Finder window 1
end tell
What I need to do is modify it to close 2 windows, as I am adding a new network disk to login items. Can someone help me understand what needs to be changed or added to accomplish this? I'd like to know what the process is to edit it so that when I add more disks in the coming months I can make the changes to have all those windows close by themselves.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi, thanks for your quick responses.
close Finder window "TheNameAtTheTopOfTheWindow" sounds like it might be the best way to go since it's so specific.
As for the close every window command, is that the actual syntax? (I don't even know if that's the right word, lol)
Also, I just had a thought, in case there is a delay in the mounting of the disk (maybe it's spinning up or something) and the script runs before the window opens, is there a kind of "wait" command I can put before the tell finder commands that will force it wot wait for maybe 10 seconds?
Thanks again,
Sean

Shutdown from a logoff script

I have created a GPO that calls a logoff script. This script looks for other batchfiles and executes them. I am using this method install an applications and then reboot. However, when the batch file runs
shutdown -r -f -t 0, I get device not ready. I there any way to either force a reboot from a logoff script? Or a way to abort the logoff when I am installing the app then force a reboot then?

What about using this only : shutdown -r -f ?
Does it works?

Microsoft Office:mac 2011 want work with my script made in Microsoft Windows. May be there is a file Problem.

Hello!
Two years ago i made a script with a microsoft windows PC, using "Office Word".
Last year i changed my Hardware into apple Mac ,using Yosemite 10.10.3.
To work on with my script with apple i use Microsoft Office:mac 2011 Home and Student, but it want work. It is deeply frozen and very very slow. Mouse is not working normally. Pages are scrolling automatically. There is a Problem in kompatilibility between the file of my script (written by using a microsoft PC) and the apple computer e.g. Office:mac.
Someone who can help?

Apple support is not an expert source for Microsoft scripts, if Microsoft can't figure out their own software you'll just have to wait until someone who has had, and cured the issue.
Sorry.

Terminal server 2008 / Windows 7 printing

Hi, is the HP universal print driver supported on these platforms?
I've got it setup on this server/client, but I'm having problems printing to the right trays using Word 2010.
Any suggestions?
Or what's the alternative to using HP universal print driver?
Thanks,

BPC 7.0M SP08 was released on September 1st and now supports the client install on both Server 2008 and Windows 7 so yes, you should be able to use terminal server in Windows 2008 if you install SP08. It also has limited support for Office 2010, full support will come with SP09. SAP Note 1490544 is the central SP08 note, and 1504400 is the download note.

Is there a script to position document windows?

I think it's likely that someone (Dave?) has written a script for this, but I can't find one.
I want to open (or at least reposition) document windows on my second monitor, not under the open panels on the primary display on my MacBook screen; and I'd like to find a way of doing this with keystrokes.
If a script doesn't exist, is it possible, or is there some roadblock? Should I post in the scripting forum?

I have indeed written such a script, but it is not aware of second monitors, and off the top of my head, I'm not sure how to make it aware.
Ah, it doesn't have to be aware. The bounds are relative to the total monitor space. So my script will work.
Here you go:
//DESCRIPTION: Resets active window size or uses front window to set default size.
// Check for WindowDefault.txt; if present use it to set front window
// if not, use front window to set it after checking with user.
myPath = app.activeScript;
myParts = myPath.toString().split("/");
myParts[(myParts.length - 1)] = "WindowDefault" + app.version.slice(0,1) + ".txt";
myNewPath = myParts.join("/");
mySettingsFile = File(myNewPath);
// Before proceeding, check that there is a front window
// If not, offer user the chance to delete the current settings
if (app.windows.length < 1) {
beep();
if (confirm("No window is open; would you like to delete the settings file?")) {
// User said yes; check that it exists
if(mySettingsFile.exists) {
   mySettingsFile.remove();
} else {
if (mySettingsFile.open("r")) {
savedBounds = mySettingsFile.read();
mySettingsFile.close();
myBounds = savedBounds.split(",");
for (i = 0; i<myBounds.length; i++) {
   myBounds[i] = Number(myBounds[i]);
app.windows[0].bounds = myBounds;
} else {
beep();
if (confirm("Settings file is missing. Use current front window to set default?")) {
   // User said: go to it.
   new File(mySettingsFile);
   mySettingsFile.open("w");
   mySettingsFile.write(app.windows[0].bounds);
   mySettingsFile.close();
Before you run the script for the first time, position a window where you want this script to position all subsequent windows. It keeps the information in a text file in the same folder as the script. You can reset the position by editing the file (that's what I often do to fine tune the position) or by running the script again with no window open.

Applescript Studio Beginner - Run a script and display a window

Hi,
I am new to applescript studio ; I found out how to make an application displaying a window with a progress bar.
How can I start running a script without displaying any window, and at some time in the script, run the "awake from nib" handler that will call the display of the progress bar ?
Thanks,
Nicolas

The "awake from nib" handler is called automatically when your nib file gets loaded, you don't call it yourself. I suppose you could go thru the pain of putting your window into a separate nib file and then have your script load the nib file when you're ready... but that's not the easiest way to do it and you probably don't need to do this for your situation.
All you really need to do is go into Interface Builder, select your window object and uncheck the checkbox in the "Window Attributes" pane that says "Visible At Launch". The "awake from nib" will still be called at it's normal time and your window will be loaded but it will not be displayed.
Then you can do whatever other scripting you need to do... and when you're ready to display your window you simply call:
show window "yourWindowsAppleScriptName"
You can do your initial scripting at the beginning of "awake from nib" and then call "show window" at the tail end of "awake from nib" if that works for you. But you don't have to have the "show window" call in your "awake from nib"... you can call it later on in some other handler if you need to.
