One2Many Script Repository

Is there a way that I can execute a vbs script with the administrator credentials?  I am trying to update a folder by deleting the existing files and extracting a zip with the new set of files.  this works great if I am logged in with the administrator account.  However, when I try to execute the script with the standard user account logged in, I get a message that I need permissions to delete files.  

The high level is that I delete existing files in a public\desktoip\links folder structure, then unzip a new folder structure in it's place.  I have the administrator credentials applied when I set up the credentials.  any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey there,

  Thanks for the replies. Sorry it's been some time since I've checked back on this. Anyway, @j_helland is this possible on the Rescue LogMeIn centralized script setting? So far, that's the only option I see where I can upload files and/or custom scripts? Not entirely sure if it's the same with the One2Many feature.

 As for purpose of the script, I am trying to have the files residing on one server and have our technicians transfer those files to their clients so that we don't have to download each of those files from our file server using the client's computer. More like a drag and drop feature that we have used before from a different platform. Thank you.

Hey CarlCapone, if you set up a "custom" One2Many, upload the files, then use the example syntax below, you can transfer multiple files using a simple DOS format: 

copy file1.txt "C:\folderpath"&&copy file2.txt "C:\folderpath&&copy file3.txt ................

Essentially you'll need to separate each command by the double ampersand, which tells DOS that a new command is coming. I've been using this methodology for complex One2Many pushes for about 6 years and it takes some trial and error, but it usually works!

Scripts do not allow the ability to transfer files.

You'd need to issue commands to something in order to do the copy.

Examples of methods:

Initiating a VPN connection then transferring from a fileshare.

Initiating an FTP download (Something like this: FTP through PowerShell )

Using an already available file transfer utility like SCP.

You can use the custom package option (One2Many Task). It will download all files you upload to the task. If you use a PowerShell script, you can refer to the random directory LMI puts the files in through the variable $PSScriptRoot as the script will be in the same directory.

#Rudimentary example

#Uninstall old products since they cause new installations to abort
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -match 'Awesome Program'}).Uninstall()

#Start Install
Start-Process -Wait msiexec -ArgumentList "/i $PSScriptRoot\AwesomeProgram.msi TRANSFORMS=$PSScriptRoot\AwesomeProgramTransform.mst"

#Install dependent program
Start-Process -Wait msiexec -ArgumentList "/i $PSScriptRoot\DependentProgram.msi"

#Install second dependent program
Start-Process -Wait msiexec -ArgumentList "/i $PSScriptRoot\AnotherDependentAwesomeProgram.msi"

#License the program
Copy-Item -Path $PSScriptRoot\AwesomeLicense.lic -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\AwesomeProgram\LicenseFile.lic" -Force

Hi everyone,

   I am kinda wondering if someone has successfully transfered files using a script instead of the file transfer/manager in LMI. If anyone is willing to share a working script, that would be awesome. Thank you. 

P.S. I've posted on the other thread as well. 

did the effort to have a "new and easier to use script repository via groups" stall again?

For one-liners, I get around set execution policy on PowerShell scripts by using the command:

powershell "put command here"

Watch out for commands that use double quotes though.

Example:

powershell "(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'Some Name Here' }).Uninstall()"

What One2Many really needs is the ability to chain tasks sequentially. I know you can just send a script with complex logic but if you already have the individual pieces as tasks, it would be nice to be able to just chain those together.

echo off

rem bye lmi by Tarcis

if %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% equ AMD64 goto amd64
cd "%ProgramFiles%\logmein\x86"
logmein uninstall

goto end
:amd64
cd "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\logmein\x64"
logmein uninstall

:end
exit

you mean right-clicking on the file before you add it to the One2Many task?  Or after ?
