Scripting Question
Issues with pushing out scripts via KACE - maybe there is a better way?
I'm new to scripting with KACE. Previously we were using SCCM and I could easily make packages to push out whatever file/batch I wanted and am looking to do something similar with KACE. So my current scenario is that I want to push out the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller to a group of machines. The issue is that they have various old versions of Flash Player so I want to do a blanket push that sends and runs this file on all of them. In my script I have the following:
Windows Runs As: Local System
User Notify: (not notifying)
Dependencies: uninstall_flash_player.exe
(I also tried including the batch file to run the program as a dependency which did not work either, currently I am not doing it that way)
On Success:
Launch A Program
Directory: $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)
File: uninstall_flash_player.exe
Wait For Completion checked
Parameters: -uninstall
Windows Runs As: Local System
User Notify: (not notifying)
Dependencies: uninstall_flash_player.exe
(I also tried including the batch file to run the program as a dependency which did not work either, currently I am not doing it that way)
On Success:
Launch A Program
Directory: $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)
File: uninstall_flash_player.exe
Wait For Completion checked
Parameters: -uninstall
So when I run that it is pulling the uninstall_flash_player.exe to the target computer (it shows under C:\ProgramData\Dell\Kace\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\65) but it is seemingly not running it and flash player is not removed. Side note: If I use a batch file, the file literally just tells it to run: uninstall_flash_player.exe -uninstall and that has always worked fine.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
