Vb strart up script/ trying to deploy zenworks agent
I am trying to deploy the ZenWorks agent through group policy using a VB start up script. I am getting a Windows Script Host error (The system cannot find the file specified. Line 17 Char 2). Here is my script.
Option Explicit
Dim strSiteCode
Dim strMode
Dim strParams
If WScript.arguments.count > 0 Then
strParams = WScript.arguments(0)
End If
Dim WshShell, lngExitCode
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If ClientInstalledAndAuto("") = False Then
Dim oExec, strCmdLine
strCmdLine = ScriptDir & "\PreAgentPkg_AgentComplete.exe" & strParams
lngExitCode = WshShell.Run(strCmdLine, 0, True)
WshShell.LogEvent 0, "Started ZCM agent install: """ & strCmdLine & """" & CHR(10) & "Exit code was " & CSTR(lngExitCode)
Else
WshShell.LogEvent 0, "ZCM agent is installed and set to Automatic. No action required."
End If
Function ScriptDir
ScriptDir = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName,Len(WScript.ScriptFullName) - Len(WScript.ScriptName) -1)
End Function
Function ClientInstalledAndAuto(strComputerName)
ClientInstalledAndAuto = False
On Error Resume Next
If Len(strComputerName) = 0 Then
strComputerName = "."
End If
Dim objWMI, objList, objItem
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strComputerName & "/root/cimv2")
If err.number <> 0 Then
Exit Function
End If
strMode = ""
Set objList = objWMI.ExecQuery("Select StartMode from Win32_Service where Name=""Novell ZENworks Agent Service""")
For Each objItem In objList
strMode = objItem.StartMode
Exit For
Next
If strMode = "Auto" Then
ClientInstalledAndAuto = True
Else
ClientInstalledAndAuto = False
If Len(strMode) = 0 Then
WshShell.LogEvent 0, "Novell ZENworks Agent Service not found."
Else
WshShell.LogEvent 0, "Novell ZENworks Agent Service is to: " & strMode
End If
End If
End Function
I have placed the agent exe file in the Group Policy, start up scripts folder that my script is in.
I need help in the worst way. I anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Three things:
- The tortuous route to get ScriptDir is unnecessary. Have a look at the FileSystemObject object's methods and properties. You can get path, filename, ParentFolder, etc, etc.
- I suspect your strCmdLine has a space in it, in which case you need to quote it. I normally recommend that, rather than clutter up your string with actual quote marks (which eventually become invisible - put 4 consecutive quote marks on a page and then try to visually count them: are there 4? Or 3? ), you use Chr(34):
