Is there a way to script the cleanup of the C:\ProgramData\Dell\Kace\Patches directory?
Is there a way to script the cleanup of the C:\ProgramData\Dell\Kace\Patches directory?
Either from Kace or with a file I can leave on the desktop for me to manually run each month if this happens.
It's fine if I need to logon and run a script locally. Stop and starting the ampagent with a script is not a problem, I have batch files that handle the processes fine. But I'm unable to delete the contents of the Patches directory with a script.
Some errors could be: "C:\....\Konea.log" and "KONEA_STARTED"
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
But I can close that cmd window, manually highlight the contents of the Patches directory and delete them all without a problem.
I've tried del C:\ProgramData\Dell\Kace\Patches\*.* /F
And other variations of Del or PSFile but no luck so far.
Thanks

reg.exe add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v delPatchDir /d "del C:\ProgramData\Dell\Kace\Patches\*.* /F /q /e"
next time the box reboots they will delete on startup.
Or create a script to do the run key if you want it to run every time the machine starts up.
