Script with Exit Code options SCCM

Hi,

I want to make a script that will do something different depending on the edit code

A. biospassword1.exe - if the exit code is 1 clear the exit code so SCCM doesnt know about it, then go to step B then go to step C
B. biospassword2.exe - When run go to step C
C. ConfigureBios.exe

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

Anyone please?

Thoughts as in code? Does SCCM just run vbs/BAT? Never really used SCCM, but can help on the code side if it is :)

Steve

SCCM can run .bat and VBS scripts no problem. It can run pretty much anything.

It can also call the installers directly.

So if I understand you right:

Code:

---

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

returncode = WshShell.Run("biospassword1.exe")

If returncode = 1 Then
          WshShell.Run("biospassword2.exe")
        WshShell.Run("ConfigureBios.exe")
        WScript.Quit(0)
else
       
End If
WScript.Quit(returncode)

---

It'll fire off exeA, "If" that fails (with code 1), it'll run the other two exe's, then exit with a success code?

Shouldn't it still exit with an error if 2nd exes fail though?

(Can't really test it without the exes etc though, so might not work :( )

Steve

Basically run Step A, If its exit code 1 run B & C If its Code 0 run step C without B

I could give the .exe but they are configured specific for these Dell clients and will reset your BIOS password and reconfigure the setting.

Ah, try this one then:

Code:

---

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

returncode = WshShell.Run("biospassword1.exe")

If returncode = 1 Then
          WshShell.Run("biospassword2.exe")
        WshShell.Run("ConfigureBios.exe")
        WScript.Quit(0)
elseif returncode = 0 Then
        WshShell.Run("ConfigureBios.exe")
End If
WScript.Quit(returncode)

---

Only thing is do you want it to still fail, and return codes if 2nd+ exe go wrong? or only on first one?

Steve

If an exit code 1 comes up, and biospassword2.exe & ConfigureBios.exe run ok, i dont want SCCM to know about exit code 1.

I need both biospassword1.exe and biospassword2.exe as some machines out there dont have bios passwords set.

thanks again

What I mean is currently in my script

Code:

---

If returncode = 1 Then
          WshShell.Run("biospassword2.exe")
        WshShell.Run("ConfigureBios.exe")
        WScript.Quit(0)

---

If it returns 1, it'll run the 2 exe's then force exit script with 0 (aka tells SCCM all is good). However it'll force exit on 0 even if biospassword2.exe bombs etc, as it's still telling it it exited ok.

Did you want it to actually return the real codes from 2nd/3rd exe?

Steve

Im with you now :)
