Hi
I have made an exe for installing screensaver from jpg images when ever i deploy the exe it prompts client to click on install.
I even tried /s & /qn while deploying but of no use.
Can we transfer 4 to 5 images to client pc’s on a particular folder via a single task
Awaiting your reply

Here’s the process we use successfully:
Compile images into a .scr file with a screensaver utility (we use Screensaver Factory)
Use Bigfix to deploy the .scr file to the client machines.
Use a GPO to set the client screensaver parameters and point to the <yourfilename.scr>.

Have you considered using the software distribution wizard?
You can point it at a folder of images to combine into a single “.tmp” file (consider it a zip file).
the wizard will ask you for a command to install, just leave it as setup.exe
When the software distribution wizard finished, edit the fixlet, and remove the “waithidden __Download\setup.exe” (after the “extract .tmp”
and instead just move your jpegs to the required directory with the action command move, or:
waithidden cmd.exe /c move /Q /F “{client folder of site “actionsite”}__Download*.jpg” “”

Hi,
I have created a task which is successfull deployed on clients which is as below
download http://server ip:port/Uploads/2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94/file.tmp
continue if {(size of it = 1034203 AND sha1 of it = “2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94”) of file “file.tmp” of folder “__Download”}
extract file.tmp
copy “__Download\file.scr” “c:\windows\system32\file.scr”
But now the issue is to trigger it from the registry which i am unable to get
The registry key is as follow
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop & string value “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=“file path”
Instance no 1
The issue is if any other screensaver is set then the value of SCRNSAVE.EXE does not change I used the following action to do the change but in vain
action uses wow64 redirection false
delete __appendfile
delete wizardedit.reg
appendfile Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
appendfile
appendfile
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
appendfile “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=“C:\WINDOWS\system32\file.scr”
move __appendfile wizardedit.reg
waithidden regedit /s “wizardedit.reg”
Also if screensaver is not set then the string SCRNSAVE.EXE is not present in registry the above action does not work
Can anyone help me to get out of this issue
How can I set this task in one action successfully
Awaiting your reply
Thanks in advance.

You have an issue with user context.
When BigFix runs a Fixlet/Task/Action it’s running as the System user, so you’re changing the HKCU of “NT Authority\System”, and not the currently logged in user.
Option 1
There is a utility available through teh bigfix support pages called “RunAsCurrentUser”.
You will include a download for it, just below your current download is fine (with another continue if statement). It can be as the .exe, so no .tmp extraction is required, then you can change:
waithidden regedit /s “wizardedit.reg”
to
waithidden runascurrentuser.exe /w /q “{pathname of windows folder}\regedit.exe” /s “{name of client folder of site “actionsite”}\wizardedit.reg”
Option 2
Don’t edit HKCU. Edit HKEY_sers. Not an option for all items in this area, but I think that the users screensaver settings can be affected there.
“” “ScreenSaverIsSecure”=“1”
and (for setting as a policy)
“” “ScreenSaverIsSecure”=“1”
e.g.
“” “ScreenSaverIsSecure”=“1”

Can anyone guide me with this as i am getting confused right now.
over here what my action script should be like as its still not working while setting the registry
download http://Server ip:port/Uploads/2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94/file.tmp
continue if {(size of it = 1034203 AND sha1 of it = “2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94”) of file “file.tmp” of folder “__Download”}
extract ubiscr.tmp
copy “__Download\file.scr” “c:\windows\system32\file.scr”
regset “” “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=“C:\WINDOWS\system32\file.scr”
waithidden regedit /s “wizardedit.reg”
uptill copying is concerned its fine but not in setting registry parameter
If possible can u rectify my above action to clear this thing up
(imported comment written by gjeremia91)
You are trying to use regset AND regedit.exe /s. Use one or the other (recommend regedit.exe)
Try:
download http://Server ip:port/Uploads/2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94/file.tmp
continue if {(size of it = 1034203 AND sha1 of it = “2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94”) of file “file.tmp” of folder “__Download”}
extract ubiscr.tmp
copy “__Download\file.scr” “{pathname of system folder}\file.scr”
delete __appendfile
delete scrn.reg
appendfile Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
appendfile
appendfile
appendfile “SCRNSAVE.EXE”="{escape of pathname of system folder}\file.scr"
appendfile
move __appendfile scrn.reg
waithidden “{pathname of windows folder}\regedit.exe” /s “{pathname of client folder of site “actionsite”}\scrn.reg”
I just tested it on my system and it works just fine.

HI Gjeremia,
Thanks for the provided solution but here also i am getting stuck up in the last line tried these three options
Option 1 only
Action site
waithidden “c:\windows\system32\regedit.exe” /s “SCRNSAVER.EXE\scrn.reg” it is getting failed
Option 2 only
File path
waithidden “c:\windows\system32\regedit.exe” /s “c:\windows\system32\file.scr\scrn.reg” it is getting failed
Option 3 with
path & action site
waithidden “c:\windows\system32\regedit.exe” /s “C:\WINDOWS\system32\file.scr"SCRNSAVE.EXE”\scrn.reg" it is getting failed
(imported comment written by gjeremia91)
When you say your action failed, it would be helpful if you could pull the lines from the client log that shows WHY it failed.
Also note that you wrote
Aakashk
Option 2 only File path
waithidden “c:\windows\system32\regedit.exe” /s “c:\windows\system32\file.scr\scrn.reg” it is getting failed
but I wrote
waithidden “{pathname of windows folder}\regedit.exe” /s “…scrn.reg”
It appears you are hard-coding pathnames, probably not a good idea.
regedit.exe should be in the windows folder not the system folder
Assuming the download file is “ubiscr.tmp” and it contains “ubi.scr” and you included the correct sha1, this can be run with NO changes (not even to the IP/port because your BES Server will perform the download, no one else, and it gets the file from itself (at 127.0.0.1)):
download http://127.0.0.1:52311/Uploads/2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94/ubiscr.tmp
continue if {(size of it = 1034203 AND sha1 of it = “2cb9976eb94fe64392813263a0c398390348eb94”) of file “ubiscr.tmp” of folder “__Download”}
extract ubiscr.tmp
delete "{pathname of system folder}\ubi.scr"
copy “__Download\ubi.scr” “{pathname of system folder}\ubi.scr”
delete __appendfile
delete “{pathname of system folder}\scrn.reg"
appendfile Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
appendfile
appendfile
appendfile “SCRNSAVE.EXE”=”{escape of pathname of system folder}\ubi.scr"
appendfile
move __appendfile "{pathname of system folder}\scrn.reg"
waithidden “{pathname of windows folder}\regedit.exe” /s “{pathname of system folder}\scrn.reg”
if the above fails:
1 please include the client log.
2 check that “C:\Windows\System32\scrn.reg” exists
3 check that “C:\Windows\System32\ubi.scr” exists
4 check that “C:\Windows\regedit.exe” exists

Hi,
I am stuck in the relevance for the screen saver
(name of operating system = “WinME” OR name of operating system = “Win2000” OR name of operating system = “WinXP” OR name of operating system = “WinXP-2003” OR name of operating system = “Win2003” OR (name of it = “WinVista” and product type of it = nt workstation product type) of operating system OR (name of it = “Win2008” or (name of it = “WinVista” and product type of it != nt workstation product type)) of operating system) AND ((not exists key “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop” whose (exists value “SCRNSAVE.EXE” whose (it as string = “C:\WINDOWS\system32\myscreensaver.scr”) of it) of native registry))
this is what my relevance is.
Here the issue is in some PC the screensaver which i deployed is present but then also it shows as this machine is relevent for this task.
Please guide me where in this relevance issue is present

There probably is no logged in user. You should add ‘exists current user’ to the applicability relevance.
