Kace script


Hello,

 I have a VBS script that will create a folder on the c drive to place the results of the search. However its not working in windows x64. I want it to run in both OSs. Also if there is a easier way to create the report.

I run the script to place the results in the folder, then run force update to pull the TXT file , then run a report .


PST VBS

strComputer = "."
on error resume next
set wshnetwork=createobject("wscript.network")
scomputername=wshnetwork.computername
set wshnetwork=nothing
Const OverwriteExisting = True

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from CIM_DataFile Where Extension = 'pst' AND (Drive = 'C:' OR Drive = 'H:' or drive'w:')")

If colFiles.Count = 0 Then
    Wscript.Quit
End If


Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("C:\kbox")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("c:\kbox\pstfiles.txt" , True)

For Each objFile in colFiles
    objTextFile.Write(objFile.Drive & objFile.Path & "")
    objTextFile.Write(objFile.FileName & "." & objFile.Extension & ", Size ")
    objTextFile.Write(objFile.FileSize /1024 & "kb" & vbCrLf)
Next

objTextFile.Close

  • I think your issue is actually due to not running script in the right architecture. Since it works in 32 bit and not in 64 bit, you will need to run the 32bit cscript bit from here:
    C:\windows\sysWOW64\cscript.exe

    Try running this batch in your remediation step:
    @echo off
    If exist C:\windows\sysWOW64\cscript.exe (
    Echo 64 bit OS... Going to Success
    Exit /b 0
    ) else (
    Echo 32 bit OS... Going to Failure
    Exit /b 1
    )

    Success:
    Run from here C:\windows\sysWOW64\cscript.exe

    Failure:
    Run From here C:\windows\system32\cscript.exe - Desktop Jockey 7 years ago
