Scripting

I have a .bat script that I manually run remotely using psexec on Windows to reset the WMIC on K1000 clients that have stopped reporting their inventory.  (They will show as online in KACE and stay online for hours, but the "last inventory" field will say several months ago - even if I force inventory.)  Resetting the WMIC solves the inventory problem.  So, I put that .bat file as a dependency of a K1000 script, created a smart tag that gathers clients that are online but haven't been inventoried for 1+ months, and runs that .bat file against them.  The script runs and says that it completes successfully, but those machines still don't inventory.  I looked at the logs from the run of the script, and it says it ran for 30-40 seconds (which is faster than when I run the .bat manually against clients), and the logged output from the .bat file is truncated partway through the log. 

Is there any limit on Kace script runtime or the amount of output it generates?  The .bat file generates a LONG output because it is iteratively calling the Microsoft MOF compiler on all of the WMIC files.

Here is the .bat itself:

echo off

net stop winmgmt

cd %windir%\system32\wbem

if exist Repos_backup rd Repos_backup /s /q

net start winmgmt

exit

As you can see, the log truncates at "storing data in the"....  which should say "... the repository" and then continue on with logging the compiling of more files.

And, here is the "debug log" in full:
