Scripting with 5.5 upgrade, multiple questions
Has anyone else noticed that when there is a " in a scripting task that the K1 interprets it as " ?
Specifically the "Reboot a windows system" script that I believe is a canned script has this problem.
Also have there been any hotfixes or patches that people have had installed on their machine since the 5.5 upgrade?
Our core financial platform was scheduled to be updated this past weekend and through the K1 it just did not work.
I used the exact same script that I used last time we did the upgrade which back then it worked like a charm.
We found that it pushed the script to a number of machines, but it only ran on 2 of 311 machines!
I know that it can run a script because I did a few smaller scripts on Friday which worked just as they should.
I'm not above saying I screwed something up, but something just isn't working right in 5.5 for us.
Thanks folks.

I had some scripting issues after our upgrade too. I had support working on a ticket for the '"' issue. The sent me some hotifxes that didn't resolve the issue. However the technician suggested I use Firefox in lieu of IE to update the broken scripts and it worked. The quotes (") saved as normal via Firefox and the changes then stuck. So I ended up just manually fixing our scripts which worked in our case...we're talking a doable amount here.
Another issue I've noticed is I now have to check the "wait for completion" box on the script tasks in order for most scripts to work - which is not something I've had to do in the past...

Wonder why firefox would work properly and IE wouldn't? And you're right I never have had to do the "wait for completion" box before. Thanks for the info sir. - AFCUjstrick 11 years ago

I talked with support and they are looking through logs on why the script didn't run.
The guy also gave me about 4 different hot fixes. - AFCUjstrick 11 years ago
And yes I've restarted the K1 multiple times over the last two days. - AFCUjstrick 11 years ago

We also had a few scripts that changed to having '"' and I just manually fixed them all - Thankfully it was only a few out of roughly 80 scripts.
Also having to check the "wait for completion" box on the script tasks in order for most scripts to work - which is not something I've had to do in the past either.
I have 2 support tickets open with KACE, one regarding the syntax of custom inventory rules and one regarding the Run Now Script Page clearing in the middle of push to 34 devices.
