Using SCCM to run a .bat file

[Millsy79]

Hi

I'm trying to use SCCM to run a .bat file that will copy an .exe file from the sccm server to the classroom PC's.

 

using robocopy \\severname\folder c:\ doesn't work as apparently SCCM doesn't see UNC paths. So I have tried robocopy %~dp0 c:\ but this isn't working either.

 

what's the best way for me to copy this file to the PC's?

 

Thanks

Can you use Group Policy Preferences to copy the file?

Create a Package in SCCM (not Application) that includes your bat file and the file you're trying to copy. In the bat file I use this:

 

xcopy.exe "%~dp0Kar2ouche.lnk" "c:\Users\Public\Desktop"
exit /b 0

 

You then create a Program inside the Package in SCCM and give it the full bat name (in my case SCCM_Install.bat) in the "Command line" box.

 

I use this method to run a bat that unzips our Kar2ouche files to the local device over the network and then copy the shortcut to the desktop.

I created a self-extracting ZIP file when I had to do something similar and then deployed that via SCCM which did the trick for me.
