Kace1000 scripts and Kace2000 Post installation tasks

I had read somewhere that with the latest versions of the appliances that there was more coordination of tasks. For example I have a Kace1000 script that uninstalls all Reader versions and then installs Foxit. I would like to have the same actionas a post installation tasks.

How can I do that?

Thanks.

  • can you post your k1 script so I can convert them to PO Tasks for you - SMal.tmcc 8 years ago
    • I am not sure how to 'post' my script. There are 2 batch files, each running .msi install packages.

      One is
      AdbeArCleaner_v2.exe /silent /product=1 /cleanlevel=0 /installpath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0" /scanforothers=0 /LogLevel=2

      And the other one is
      msiexec /i "EnterpriseFoxitReader730.0118_enu.msi" /qn /norestart /l*v "%TEMP%\FoxitReader_InstallLog.txt" MAKEDEFAULT=1 LAUNCHCHECKDEFAULT=0 VIEW_IN_BROWSER=1 STARTMENU_SHORTCUT=1 DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0

      Each bat file is a task in the script in KACE - jfrasier 8 years ago

ok you will need to create 2 different application tasks.  upload the exe or msi to the task and in the "parameter" window put exactly the lines like you posted

AdbeArCleaner_v2.exe /silent /product=1 /cleanlevel=0 /installpath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0" /scanforothers=0 /LogLevel=2

msiexec /i "EnterpriseFoxitReader730.0118_enu.msi" /qn /norestart /l*v "%TEMP%\FoxitReader_InstallLog.txt" MAKEDEFAULT=1 LAUNCHCHECKDEFAULT=0 VIEW_IN_BROWSER=1 STARTMENU_SHORTCUT=1 DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0

check reboot if needed,

like this

  • OK, thanks. For some reason I thought it would be more seamless, like you somehow connected the 2 appliances and could use scripts back and forth.

    I really do appreciate your help.

    • One of the requests on the User Voice is for better integration of tasks between the appliances (although I can't find it right now). You can also export your resources from the K1000 under Settings, Resources and then import them to the K2000. - chucksteel 8 years ago

if you have it as managed installation in the K1000 you can export it and import it in the K2000 as post install task.
