Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

  • A while ago I found out that you can escape Quotes in VBscript by doubling them to avoid "& Chr(34) &":
    Path = """C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\KACE\amptools.exe"" retrust" - chrpetri 4 years ago
  • When I run the script doesn't throw any errors but doesnt look like it's working. In the agent log it shows exception error " [AMPTools:AgentTools::PerformRetr] AgentTools:PerformRetrust - caught exception from boost::filesystem::remove".

    But if change the script to to runkbot it works

    Option Explicit
    Dim WshShell, Path, Return

    Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

    Path = Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\KACE\runkbot.exe" & Chr(34) & " 4 0"
    Return = WShShell.Run(Path,1,TRUE) ' |

    wscript.quit

    any ideas? - bozadmin 4 years ago
