Right now, the process is in Proof of Concept, so we aren't implementing yet. I know where to go if more help is needed!!!!

You can try it without that part and see if it works...Ben Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:35:44 -0800 http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=17059#17059 17059@http://forum.bigfix.com Topic: Action Script for low bandwidth connections Message: The files that are being uploaded need to go to another server for processing (basically, its retail outlets, and the files being uploaded are end of day transactions)Also, I tried to use the Upload task for dump logs and modify that to work for sending upsteam. I included the command to allow the file to be 10MB to be transferred. It didn't seem to work, as we attempted a 3mb file to go to the server, and the log file for the upload manager said max size exceeded. I can provide the code I used in the morning once I'm back in the office.

See: http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=68 (if you are running Tasks or custom actions, completed/failed status is determined if all lines executed).Here are some examples to run some scripts:waithidden cmd.exe /C C:\test.batwaithidden cscript.exe C:\test.vbswaithidden msiexec.exe C:\test.msi /quietNote: actions run with a current working directory of the directory of the Fixlet site (not the folder the file was downloaded in)... So if your batch script is expecting files from the extracted package, then add "cd __Download" to the front of your batch script before you run it...)Ben Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:09:30 -0800 http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=17010#17010 17010@http://forum.bigfix.com Topic: saving preferences Message: The settings are stored in the HKCU\Software\BigFix branch of the registry...Ben Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:57:03 -0800 http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=17008#17008 17008@http://forum.bigfix.com Topic: Create Column to Show How Many Clients Per Relay Message: Try this:1.
