SCCM 2012 RTM - Difficulties deploying a VB Script (Invalid data file...)

[dverbern]

Hello,

 

Using SCCM 2012 RTM and having trouble deploying a version of SQL using a VB Script.

Importantly, when I run the VB script manually from its network store, it works without problems.

 

The execmgr.log reveals the following:

 

 

Executing program as a script due to file association execmgr 12/06/2012 6:23:42 PM 2768 (0x0AD0)

Invalid data file InstallSQL2000.vbs to execute using file association execmgr 12/06/2012 6:23:42 PM 2768 (0x0AD0)

Raising event:

[sMS_CodePage(850), SMS_LocaleID(3081)]

instance of SoftDistProgramBadEnvironmentEvent

{

AdvertisementId = "P012006B";

ClientID = "GUID:a4bcab4b-6532-484f-84c4-5d0820a7cde0";

CommandLine = "InstallSQL2000.vbs";

DateTime = "20120612082342.569000+000";

DriveLetter = "";

MachineName = "MER-8IKSB85370";

PackageName = "P01000CB";

ProcessID = 3336;

ProgramName = "SQL 2000 for FOCUS Toughbooks";

SiteCode = "P01";

ThreadID = 2768;

Win32ErrorCode = 2147942402;

WorkingDirectory = "";

};

execmgr 12/06/2012 6:23:42 PM 2768 (0x0AD0)

Raised Program Bad Environment Event for Ad:P012006B, Package:P01000CB, Program: SQL 2000 for FOCUS Toughbooks execmgr 12/06/2012 6:23:42 PM 2768 (0x0AD0)

EnterRsRuningState failed to run script InstallSQL2000.vbs 0x87d01106 execmgr 12/06/2012 6:23:42 PM 2768 (0x0AD0)

 

The VBscript itself simply runs a SQL 2000 setup.exe together with some parameters and an answer file. Runs properly when launched manually, but not when deployed via Task Sequence or by requesting it via Self-Service.

 

Any tips would be deeply appreciated!

have you tested running the script as the local system account, you can test this using a tool called psexec from sysinternals. start a command prompt as system

 

psexec.exe -s cmd.exe

 

and then run your script from within that SYSTEM command prompt.

Hello Niall! Thanks for your suggestion, I've made a change to our package to use psexec.exe with the switches you suggested, followed by my VBscript. I'll test and see how it goes.

 

Thanks for your suggestion.
