Running an update via command line on demand

In my organization, we are designing a new public access system where the computers will be protected with "rollback" software so no changes are retained. Updates will be handled in a maintainance window and include Windows Updates, Anti Virus Definitions and hopefully Flash Player, Acrobat Reader and Shockwave Player. The "snapshot" of the disk is then updated.
Is there a way of running the update on demand, I have tried running the EXE that the scheduled task calls, but that doesn't seem to do much (maybe it only runs for the system account?)
I cannot rely on the automatic update happening to run in the maintainance window and I need to have output of when the update has completed whether there was or was not an update performed.
Needless to say, all this needs to be able to run silently.
Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.
Martin

I had looked at this before, but had hoped i could just run a command and parse a "No available updates" or "Successfully Updated" ruturn or something. If this is the only way to do it, then it looks like I will have to have an mms.cfg with settings:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
AutoUpdateInterval=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
And if I'm reading the documents correctly, I need to then launch a web page that uses Flash to prompt the update? If so, that's easy enough, just open a web page to the Adobe page that shows when an update is successful?
I can then monitor the log file to see what is going on.

Assessing Command 'Analyze Source Files' via Command Line when running TestSTand Deployment Utility

Our Software Configuration Manager is running the TestStand Command Line Deployment Build Tool (Ref: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-38947).
        When he builds the application, the code will not be at the same location it was in development.
If you are Manually running the TestStand Deployment Utility, This is not a problem because everything is relative in the workspace.   Simply go to the Distributed Files Tab (of TestSTand Deployment Utility) and hit the, "Analyze Source Files" button. This finds the required files and apparently creates an updated hard path to be used during the build (probably in the *.tsd).
PROBLEM: We auto-run the Command Line Deployment Build Tool (Command Line), and we do not have access to the, 'Analyze Source Files' command.
            As a result, our build consist of many warnings and the output is missing many files (the location of the files have not been updated).
If we could access the 'Analyze Source Files' Command via command line, that would fix the issue.
FYI: We use an automatic builder called Quick Build as our builder.

Unfortunately it looks like Analyze Source Files does not have a command equivalent for the command line based on this article and attached PDF:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-38947
That may be a good post for the TestStand Idea Exchange for consideration in future versions of TestStand.

Running reports via command-line with /batch option

Hi,
I have created a batch file which runs, and exports the results of 7 different discoverer reports with /batch option.
Contents of batch file:
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
Sample of a cmd file the bacth file runs:....
/connect user/password@oraprd /apps_responsibility "BIS Super User"
/open "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Dev\Intransit Extract.dis"
/sheet 1 /export xls "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\Intransit Input.xls" /batch
The batch file runs ok and processes each report in sequence, and creates the excel export one after the other.
However, I need to process the 7 reports in parallel, so changed the batch file to process in own thread :
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
The reports kick off at the same time and I can see 7 dis4usr.exe processes running via task manager
Problem:
The first reports runs and exports ok.
All the others dis4usr.exe processing stops with the following error pop-up:
! Could not open file. OK
Question:
Can you only process reports sequentially via command line mode with /batch option?
If not...what am I missing...its driving me insane :)
All asistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ladies and gentlemen.....I have solved my problemo!
The reason why the rest of the reports were getting the 'could not open file.' error was due to the fact that each discoverer instance launched was
trying to access the same standard log file simultaneously.
I modified each cmd file to write logging info to individual files: eg
/logfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Automation\input2_log.txt"
Now that's there's no contention with logging, the reports are firing off beautifully in parallel :)
I am definitely having a beer this evening!
Thanks for everyone's input...kept me on the righteous path :)

Adobe Reader 11 (XI) won't open file via command line

Hello,
I have posted this question to probably inapropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating it again.
I installed newest Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open certain pdf file via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10 (I checked today with them and it is working), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there is any? Googling didn't help. Or what else could wrong?
In previous versions I was able to open pdf file (on page 5) like this (all was taken from Help file "Open parameters")
"CompletePathToAdobeReader"/A"page=5""CompletePathToPDF",
ie
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/A"page=5""d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
but now - not that it doesn't open specific page, but it doesn't want to open file at all.
edit:
Operating systems running: Windows 7, Windows XP
Thank you.
Message was edited by: v604

Yes, it reported correctly becuase there is a syntax error in your command. Try spaces between the /A switch and open parameter. Try this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
Hope this helps.

SCCM 2012 - Problems running vbscript or simple command line

Hey everybody, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get SCCM 2012 to deploy some very simple Vbscripts or even a simple command line. I need to deploy some registry fixes across the company as well as a Vbscript that uninstalls some old applications.
If I run these scripts/commands outside of SCCM everything works fine, inside of SCCM it always shows "succeeded" but it doesn't actually run correct on the client.
What's confusing to me is the use of distribution points when you're running a command line that doesn't actually have any source files. For instance this is what I'm trying to run "regedit /s \\servername\folder\registryfix.reg". I've also tried
a similar bat file as well with the same result. I've tried it with a source folder specified, I've tried it using Run Program From Server or Download locally. I've gone through everything I can think of but can't get it to work.
Similarly with a vbscript I'm trying "cscript.exe /s \\servername\folder\uninstallapps.wsf" and various different settings in the package deployment.
I'm really confused here guys so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What I have found is that if you try and run the REG.EXE command line directly, either as a program or via a CMD/BAT file, the 64-bit redirection will occur. So, if you had something like this in a program or via a CMD/BAT file that ran against a 64-bit
system:
REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Test /v Test /d Test
You would end up with this registry entry existing under:
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Test
That's because SCCM uses the 32-bit launcher to take care of this and redirection occurs - You can see this via the "CCM32BitLauncher.log" on the client.
To work around this problem, I have done the following:
On a reference machine, create/export the registry entry I want into a *.reg file - An example export of "Test.reg" for the above mentioned registry entry would look something like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Test]
"Test"="Test"
2. Stick our "Test.reg" file in a source share, create a package with the share as the source content, and distribute it
3. Create a program for the package with a command line like this:
REG IMPORT Test.reg
This is obviously not as clean as having a command line with a package to distribute, but I find it works fine for me and gets around the redirection for registry entries.

Run test case from command line

Hi All,
Working environment : VS 2013 professional
Project type : Unit test project for (Windows 8.1 and Windows phone 8.1)
I have a set of unit test cases and want to run it on command line.I tried MSTest.ext and vstest.console.exe for running test case but not succeed.
command :  MSTest.exe /testcontainer:path of project dll
command :  vstest.console.exe path of project dll
Type of Error
Error : Unit test case for windows store and windows phone app can't be run outside appcontainer.
Error : No tests to execute
command :  MSTest.exe /testcontainer:path of appx
command :  vstest.console.exe path of appx
Error : root certificate error
I just want to run windows 8.1 and windows phone 8.1 run test cases from command line.
Thanks in advance.

Hi vicky2468,
Based on your issue, as far as I know that if we want to run unit test for windows store and windows phone app using mstest.exe or vstest.console.exe in command line, you will need to execute the .appx instead of the dll in command line.
In addition, I tried to run the appx for unit test in command line,
but I found that I also get the same issue as yours. I could not execute the appx for unit test in command line successfully. But if we run it with VS IDE in Test
Explorer windows, it seems that it works fine.
So I suggest you can submit a feedback for this issue, to get the issue confirmed and diagnose by product team, would you please create connect report for it? You will get email notification for update.

Add cookies via command line on MacOSX?

Hello all,
Is there a simple way to add cookies to Firefox externally? As in is it possible to add cookies to Firefox via the command line on Mac OSX? Is there a way of running Javascript in Firefox via the command line, because if there is than I can use Javascript to add the cookie? I know you can open a website in Firefox via the command line, but I cant seem to run Javascript from the command line.
Thanks!
Adam

I don't think that you can do this via the command line.<br />
You would have to use an SQLite manager program to edit the cookies.sqlite database file.
You can also look at these extensions for some inspiration if you want to write your own extension:
*Cookie Importer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cookie-importer/
*Export Cookies: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/export-cookies/

Error -402 upon installing an extension via Command Line

When I try to install my extension via command line, i receive the following error message:

What does this error code -402 mean?
I found someone with a similar problem in the forums: Re: Extension Manager CC failed to install extension
He/She had file names containing non-ASCII characters. But i couldn't find any non-ASCII characters in my project or extension.
Thanks in advance,

To run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge

Hi,
How to run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge?
Usually with tns, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@tns".
with odbc, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@odbc:DSN"
Please specify, what is command line arguments for jdbc-odbc bridge driver?
Environment : Oracle 9i Report Builder on WinNT
Database : Sybase

Hello Ramanan,
Report Builder : connect JDBC Query in Report Builder is to through Connection Dialog in JDBC Query Editor. User can use a Sign on parameter (can use, default : P_JDBCPDS or can create new) to connect to JDBC Data Source. Connection once made will be mentioned and will be reused through out Reports Builder.
JDBC PDS allows user to connect one or more same or different kind of databases.
While running report through runtime or Server, user can pass the sign on parameter(connection string) value, like any other user parameter.
Syntax for connection string : <username>/<password>@databaseURL . The syntax of database part of connection string depend on the type of JDBC Driver used to connect to Data Source while designing the JDBC Query. databaseURL refer to the location of the database and its format depend on the JDBCPDS river selected in design time while creating the JDBC Query.
rwrun eg :
rwrun report=jdbc_odbc.rdf destype=file desname=output.html desformat=html P_JDBCPDS=scott/tiger@database
Server eg :
http://server.com:8888/servlet/RWServlet?server=MyReportServer+report=jdbc_odbc.rdf+destype=cache+desformat=html+P_JDBCPDS=scott/tiger@database

How to merge multiple documents via command line (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2)?

I'm searching solutions to merge multiple documents (all stored in one folder) via command line or batch file to a single PDF-File...
Is there a way to do this?
Finaly I want to control this from a application written in MS-Access. So, perhaps there are some features already integrated in Access to do this?
Thanks for answer!

If you have some programming experience you could probably do this using VBA from within MS Access to control Acrobat via OLE.
Lots of examples on the Web.
Hope this helps

Run App Engine through command line but have it show up in Process Monitor

We are trying to run Application Engine through command line and have it show up in the Process Monitor.
We have successfully ran the Application Engine through command line. We also can successfully run the Application Engine through PIA.
Only when you run the AppEng through PIA it goes through the Process Scheduler and shows up in the Process Monitor.
We would like to be able to do this through command line as well. Has anyone done this before?

I'm not sure if it is (easily) doable.
=> Fire a process through the front end appl is nothing but insert few rows in process scheduler tables settings (PSPRCSRQST, PSPRCSQUE), then the process scheduler is taking information from there every x seconds and eventually run the command (on the process scheduler server) keeping an eye on the process result in the tables to post the result.
=> Fire psae through command line (or pssqr) bypass the process scheduler, you can run it from any client... so even without any clue about Process Scheduler server or even without Process Scheduler at all (cf. the very first AE running during an installation is VERSION without anything else than the client).
So finally, your AE program has no clue where it should run outside the client you are fired the command from (i.e. on the batch server as it is running when you are fired the same AE through the front end application), nothing more about the process scheduler configuration file, and where the output files should be posted.
Maybe not by running the AE from the command line, but by simulating the actions as it would be from the front end application, for instance by inserting in the tables whatever you want to run... but it sounds odd. Probably some developer might have done this before... but this should be reconsidered by Peopletools version/patch level (or through CI ?)
