Halo,

I’m new to BigFix action script so I have a problem to run below script

cscript “C:\temp\ky\scripts\Prnport.vbs” -a -r MyQ_10.250.1.1 -h 10.250.1.1 -o raw -n 9100

with option that users can change numbers with action parameter query command.

So I found some on the net but with no luck.

My script:

action parameter query “Port” with description "Name of printer port "

action parameter query “IP” with description “IP address”

waithidden cscript.exe C:\temp\ky\scripts\Prnport.vbs -a -r ((parameter “Port” of action) as string)} -h ((parameter “IP” of action) as string)} -o raw -n 9100

In the console it say “Completed” but nothing happens on the target.

In log
At 11:51:24 +0200 - actionsite
Command succeeded action parameter query “Port” with description “Name of printer port” (action:130873)
Command succeeded action parameter query “IP” with description “IP address” (action:130873)

Please help as to solve this issue.

Hi ,

Use the following command :

waithidden cscript.exe C:\temp\ky\scripts\Prnport.vbs -a -r {parameter “Port”} -h {parameter “IP”} -o raw -n 9100

swap041 has the correct syntax on the waithidden command.
Be advised also that as BigFix client is a 32-bit application, by default it will run the 32-bit version of cscript.exe which frequently does not behave as you’d expect.
You can disable the 32-bit redirection by adding

action uses wow64 redirection false
anywhere in the action before running the waithidden command.
