Windows 7 & bat files & login script

We have Netware 6.5 SP8.
How can I run a bat file from the login script so that it will "Run as Administrator" on the Windows 7 workstations?
Thanks...

Actually this is more of a MS/Win7 batch processing question.
In short, you can't assign Admin rights to batch files, only to EXE or
shortcuts.
Therefor, try creating a shortcut to the batch file.
Right-click on the shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut tab -> Advanced.
Click "Run as administrator".
Test locally.
Now you can try passing that shortcut to the Login Script command
handler - something like:
#cmd /c start [shortcut]
or
#%<comspec> /c start [shortcut]
Note, this is all untested and unsupported.
Good luck

Apple (Unix) equivalent to a Windows "bat" file

Good day,
I have just solved a problem (thanks to someone on this forum) and written a small file to start the application.
However, I wondering if there are some "simple" rules to write an equivalent of the Windows (DOS) bat file. I would like just to click on a file and let it run.
Thanks.
Kevin

The DOS .BAT file was an attempt to bring to MS-DOS something like the idea of the UNIX script.
In general, UNIX permits you to make a text file with commands in it and run it by simply flagging the text file as executable (rather than give it a specific suffix). This is how OS X does it. However, OS X adds the feature that if you give the file the suffix '.command', Finder will run Terminal.app to execute it (similar to how BAT files work in Windows).
Unlike MS-DOS, however, UNIX (and OS X) permits you to specify what interpreter is used for the script. An interpreter is a program that reads in text from a file and does something with it. This is how languages like PERL and Python work.
In UNIX, you can specify which interpreter to use by making the first line in the text file one that begins with '#!' followed by the path to the interpreter. For example, if your text file contains a script writtein the in the PERL language, it would look like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World
... the UNIX shell is an intepreter too:
#!/bin/sh
echo Hello World
For your script to run from the UNIX command line (Terminal.app), you need to set the executable flag of the file. For example, if your script is called 'myscript', then you'd type:
chmod u+x myscript
... and you can execute it like so:
./myscript
In fact, there are several different scripting languages provided with OS X for you to use: PERL, Python, Ruby, PHP, Bash, etc. Each has it's own strengths and complexities.

Creating windows .bat file from within an oracle .prc or .sql file

I am currently converting a series of batch jobs on a windows server to use an Oracle db rather than a MS sql server db. In ms sql, I could call \mssql80\binn\isql and it allowed me to pass in .prc files and have a .bat file returned. the .bat file is then executed in the calling bat to set variable value returned in the sql call...
I am thinking I can spool a bat file, however, i do not know how to populate this file with the literals and query values needed to create the bat file which sets values used for further processing in the original calling bat file...
Does that make sense? any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
There can be various ways to do this.
First and simple way is simply spooling out the batch file. Suppose you have a .sql file with all the queries, run the .sql from DOS prompt like this,
c:\> sqlplus -s username/password@tnsname @mysqlfile.sql
the contents of mysqlfile.sql can be,
rem ---------------------
set echo off feedback off head off
spool c:\batch_files\mybatch.bat
select 'start \w ' || win_app_name from mytable ;
spool off
rem ----------------------
exit
So, you can get the batch file created with desired name in desired directory. The '-s' mentioned in the sqlplus command is important.
There is another difficult/tedious way, but that can give you exact output. With UTL_FILE package you can write an operating system file from pl/sql code, stored procedure/package. Its look more like C-language code, but is usefull. So, write a sql or stored procedure and create the batch file. For that matter, you can write any type of file, just you can write whatever you want to a file.
Cheers

Windows 7 with Login Script from 2008 R2 server Duplicates Drives

I have a single user that when they login to the domain and their login script runs, it ends up giving them duplicate drives. I can copy the script to another account and not have the issue. I have not tried logging in as the user on another machine yet,
to see if the error follows the account. Anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this? I have removed all of the drives from both the command line using
net use /del *
An example of the login script is
net use z: /delete
net use z: \\servername\sharename
Its random which drives it will duplicate to.

Hi Mgibson-TC,
Can we run this script locally to check what’s the result?
You can try Ed (DareDevil57)’s suggest first, if this issue persists, we can do some tests to narrow down this root cause.

How do I reset the default file association for .bat files on Windows 8.1?

Windows 8.1 allows the user to change the file association for .bat files. I made the mistake of using this facility to change the default file association for .bat files to Notepad++. Now when I attempt to run a .bat file, the script for the .bat
comes up in Notepad++, instead of its being run as an executable file! All my .bat files are now useless. I tried finding a way to change this back to the original executable setting, including deleting Notepad++ from my system, but nothing
has worked.
There are discussions that I found on the Internet about this problem, and the solutions to which I was led have not worked either. Most of the solutions apply to Windows 7 or Vista, but not to Windows 8. There are a few solutions that purport to apply to Windows
8 and 8.1, but they do not work for me.
(Disconcertingly, some of the solutions presented for the problem that apply to Vista or Windows 7 and are dated as early as 2009, so this problem has apparently been around for some time, but Microsoft still keeps .bat files on the Control Panel facility that
enables the change to be made. I cannot see why, but there it remains.)
Can someone please help me change this file association back to the original setting for Windows 8.1? Remember, most if now all the links that address this issue are focused on Windows 7. I need an answer that has been tried and proven to apply to Windows 8.1.
Nothing I have tried works.

Hi,
For the issue, we can restore Default File Extension Type Associations through adding the registry entries.
1. Download the .reg file from the following link.
http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/tutorials/8025d1345781188-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-bat.reg
Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.
3. Double click on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
5. Sign out and in, or restart the computer to apply.
6. If you are logged in as a standard user and this still does not help, then have the administrator also merge the needed .reg file for the listed file extension or protocol below while logged into their administrator account.
Hope this helps.

Windows\temp files to delete

May I delete any old .tmp .ctm .rpt or .rptconMgrCache file from the windows\temp directory ??? Or do you know where there is documenation concerning this? My windows\temp file is growing out of control and the folder needs to be manually cleaned up. Thanks
Dan

a typical solution would be to create a windows bat file to delete files in that directory and to schedule it with windows task manager to run after hours. Usually if a file is being used it shouldn't be deletable (locked by the OS). I don't see any reasons not to deete them.

Tim

Novell Client and Login Scripts?

All:
I'm a former administrator of NetWare 3.x, 4.x and 5.x systems and am
intrigued by the NLSBS 9 offering. I have downloaded the trial version
and have installed it on a test server.
Since I am "old school", I was wondering if I could use the Novell Client
for Windows XP and login scripts to automatically map shares using groups
like I did back in the day.
I'm very new to the Novell/Linux world since every organization I've
worked for in the past 10 years abandoned NetWare for Windows. I'm sure
a LOT has changed since the Linux OS was brought on board, so I thought
I'd ask.
Thanks,
Greg

Not sure. It would depend on whether Novell is still offering a product upgrade to the OWS from Windows 2000 SBS and what that price looks like. Otherwise, I was more thinking about the software side itself, re: the Linux side. Either way will work. Just work out the figures.
>>> <[email protected]> 5/23/2006 5:02 am >>>
I guess I'm looking at it this way: If I purchase the 5-user upgrade
license of NLSBS for $211.00 which includes upgrade protection, then
according to Novell, I can upgrade to OWS for free after July 31st. A 1-
user license for OWS at CDW is about $125.00. $125.00 x 5 = $625.00.
Is my logic flawed?

Flash Updates Via AD Login Scripts

Does anyone have any suggestions on applying Flash updates to
network computers using Active Directory batch file login scripts?
Also, we need to figure out how to detect if the application
exists, install it if it does, or not to install it if it does not.
Also, how will the patch know if it's even applicable?
Of course this would apply to Shockwave Player as well.
Thanks

Have you read this, it may help.

Hi,
The PA is running with the same account executing the .bat file on the server.
Yes, the bat file can be executed with that user outside of CPS.

Oracle bat scripts on windows log file generation

I want to generate logfile/recording of this .bat file, msglog file is not generating any thing , any idea or any other suggestion how i can generate logfile ? like we can do in crotab scropt>> script.log etc

sqlplus ops/***** @ C:\u06\users\db\oracle\scripts\ops\datastore\scripts\main\main2xwk.sql msglog=opsshell3.log

DBA2011 wrote:
i am hoping to log all the action main2xwk.sql do, in one single logfileAnd exactly how do you anticpate that passing sqlplus the string 'msglog=opsshell3.log' will accomplish that? What do you expect sqlplus to do with that?
Let's deconstruct your .bat file
set ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\10
set ORACLE_SID=clinThe above two lines simply set a couple of environment variables, to be used by some process running in the same enviornment in whatever manner said process chooses. Since your next step executes sqlplus, we know it may choose to use them, and in fact it does.
sqlplus ops/***** @ C:\u06\users\db\oracle\scripts\ops\datastore\scripts\main\main2xwk.sql msglog=opsshell3.log The above line tells the OS to locate an executable file named 'sqlplus'
and make available to it the character string 'ops/***** @ C:\u06\users\db\oracle\scripts\ops\datastore\scripts\main\main2xwk.sql msglog=opsshell3.log
to use as it (sqlplus) sees fit. We know from the SQLPLus docs that sqlplus will parse that out as follows, with a 'space' as the delimiter.
"ops/*****"
will be broken down into username 'ops' and password '*****' and used to issue a connection request to a local database instance identified by the value of the environment variable ORACLE_SID.
"@ C:\u06\users\db\oracle\scripts\ops\datastore\scripts\main\main2xwk.sql "
Well, if you had closed the space between '@' and 'C:', sqlplus would have attempted to locate the file 'C:\u06\users\db\oracle\scripts\ops\datastore\scripts\main\main2xwk.sql' and process it. However, since you seem to have a space there (all I did was copy and paste the code you posted) it probably just gave up and did nothing because it found nothing appended directly to the '@' and the strings that follow the space after '@' have no special meaning at all to sqlplus.
"msglog=opsshell3.log"
If you had closed the space after the @, and sqlplus was able to locate and process 'main2xwk.sql', it would simply have used the string 'msglog=opsshell3.log' as the first command-line substitution parameter to be used by main2xwk.sql, however it was written to use it. Was main2xwk.sql written to accept a command-line parm? See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch5.htm#sthref1080

Need Windows bat script help

Apparently I've been in Unix land a little too long, because I'm trying to do something in a windows .bat scirpt that i know is possible in a Kornshell. I just don't know for sure if it is possible on windows.
I am trying to assign a variable the value of a command. More specifically, I'm trying to assign the variable as the contents of a file.
So in a Kornshell I would do something like this...
DBS_NAME=$(cat DBS_NAME.txt)
echo $DBS_NAME
So I have gotten this far in the .bat script...
set DBS_NAME=type DBS_NAME.txt
echo %DBS_NAME%
but everything I've tried to resolve the "type" command (to display the contents of the file) is not working, I keep ending up with the text of what is after "set DBS_NAME=" on the output.
Does anybody know if this is possible in windows?
TIA,
Robert

The echo is there to display the value of DBS_NAME for testing.
I'm actually trying to read this in so I can pass it to a maxl command line, and instead of the variable passing the App.DBname (contents of the file), it is passing 'type C:\DBS_NAME.txt' to my maxl script, and so it is failing.
Here is the test bat script...
set DB=type C:\DBS_NAME.txt
essmsh C:\Test.mxl %DB%
and its maxl output below...
(I overwrote the user, password and server below)
Notice that it is failing on the word 'type'. This should be the App.DB being passed (the contents of the file), but instead it is still only passing the text of the command.
MAXL> login <user> <password> on <server>;
OK/INFO - 1051034 - Logging in user [000694098].

What do I need to have in the bat file so the 2nd line of the script will run? and where does it go?

Creating new BAT file script to stop, restart and disable S I agent

We have just installed BOXI3 and are in the process of updating some bat files for stopping, restarting and failover (to our backup servers)and disable services on the Central Configuration Manager.   In my old scripts we called each service Examples (
sc
servername.net config "bobjspcengine" start= disabled
sc
servername.net config "BOBJWebiServer" start= disabled)
I have a few questions
1. Server Intelligence Agent... Where would I find it's name   like the BOBJWebiServer example?
2. If my bat file stops this agent does that automatically stop the CMS, Webi, Report services?
3. This is for our support team in order to easliy stop Tomcat and other services for failing over to our DR sites and backups since the script automatically stops, starts, restarts disables and enable services..., is this the best approach?   We put these bat files out on the servers and all they do is click on them to start the failover process.

Try using
Process Monitor for looking the key.
For example, you may set the required value through the group policy and see what windows registry keys are changed.

Stopping/Starting Portal via BAT file on Windows

In our landscape we have the ABAP and JAVA stack installed on separate servers for security reason. We are trying to implement windows updates via SUS and need to automate the stopping and starting of SAP. The bat file that was created works when stopping and starting the ABAP portion of SAP but on the Portal server it will take it down but when trying to start Portal, the J2ee Server will not start, but when I use the SAP MMC all servers starts up without any problem. Below is the start up bat file, any assistance will be greatly appreciated:

REM
REM end of script

I looked up some training material and in TADM10 - Unit4 - Starting and Stopping a SAP NetWeaver AS Java.. the following is stated:
Under Windows, the SAP system can also be started and stopped without a GUI by
calling a command by means of the executable files startsap.exe and stopsap.exe. This
can be done using a simple telnet access.
To start an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
following command: startsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
To stop an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
following command: stopsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
For the SAPDIAHOST parameter, enter the name of the host on which the instance is
to be started.
So the script is correct, its all according to SAP advice... very strange
