We have been using the right click context menus for some time now on both XP and Vista computers with no problems. Now that we have upgraded to BES 8.0 and our workstations are Win7, some of the right click options are not working. I even tried using BigFix Labs’ install fixlet to set up the context menus to see if that made a difference.
It seems that launching anything out of the c:\windows\system32 directory fails. For example, running mmc to launch remote computer management.
I tried adding system32 specifically in the User path variable, and using the full path in the command as well. None of these values for ShellCommandRelevance work.
"mmc.exe compmgmt.msc /computer=\\" & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = "DNS Name
" ) of current computer)
"c:\windows\system32\mmc.exe compmgmt.msc /computer=\\" & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = "DNS Name
" ) of current computer)
"c:\windows\system32\mmc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc /computer=\\" & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = "DNS Name
" ) of current computer)
I run any of these from start -> run (swapping in an ip address) and they work.
Oddly, if i first launch cmd then i can get mmc to come up. Both of these options work, the first leaves a cmd prompt on the screen. Using the second, the cmd box pops up then goes away.
"cmd /c mmc.exe compmgmt.msc /computer=\\" & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = "DNS Name
" ) of current computer)
"cmd /c START mmc.exe compmgmt.msc /computer=\\" & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = "DNS Name
" ) of current computer)
Does anyone have the remote manage right click option working on Win7 and BES 8? Worst case, I can use the cmd trick, but I would like it to work like it used to.
