Action script is there already and isntall.bat file is as follows:-

@ECHO OFF
start /wait \server1\system\wci\appsrc\Office2010\setup.exe /adminfile C:\install\Excel2010\Excel2010.MSP /config \server1\system\wci\appsrc\Office2010\Excel.WW\config.xml

11

try

delete __appendfile
appendfile @echo OFF
appendfile C:
appendfile "start /wait \server1\system\wci\appsrc\Office2010\setup.exe /adminfile C:\install\Excel2010\Excel2010.MSP /config \server1\system\wci\appsrc\Office2010\Excel.WW\config.xml

move __appendfile c:\install\Excel2010\Install.bat

wait “c:\install\Excel2010\Install.bat”

My apologies , I found the issue i was connecting a remote server which prompt me user ID and password due to different domain , so i added this sample command into install.bat and it worked with my original script.

net use z: \networkshare /USER:domain\username password /PERSISTENT:NO

Thanks for your help.

Sorry I wasn’t going to step in here, but…you probably need to do some more reading on BigFix and get an understanding of what’s happening here. And the first thing is to change the passwords on whatever username/password you had put into that fixlet/task.

The full content of all Fixlets, Tasks, and Actions are accessible to any client on your network, to anyone who knows how to look for it. Your password is compromised.

In general,

  1. Do not use BigFix to execute a Batch File that references another system on the network.
  2. Bundle up the entire Office install package, and download it to the client with a “prefetch” or “download” command. The Software Deployment Wizard should have done this for you?
  3. Don’t download the Batch File. Build it on the fly with an “appendfile” or “createfile” command. Makes it much easier to troubleshoot later.
  4. The “Retry error, attempt 8 failed for MoveFile”…occurs because the target file already exists. You have to delete it first, as in
    delete c:\install\Excel2010\Install.bat move __appendfile c:\install\Excel2010\Install.bat

Ok, thanks for your great suggestion Jason, i will keep this in mind.

Actually that office bundle is almost 4GB and if i download full then it would take much space on the clients , that is why i am calling install location which is on the remote location via batch file in bigfix.

If install package size is 4GB then how to overcome this situation?

Thanks

16

I just let the client download the install package from the BES server.

17

Ok thanks…

What Jason stated is the best way to do this for a few reasons

  1. 4GB of space on a client should not be an issue. The only thing you may need to do is increase some default cache sizes, which is something that I do all the time anyway.
  2. When you download with BigFix, you will be taking advantage of the download throttling. If you try to run the install from the remote server, there is no throttling.
  3. Local installs will complete way faster than remote. If find that even taking into account the time it takes to put the code on the local system, it is still faster.
  4. If you leave it local, then repairs can be done locally.

You can also pre-cache the files so that they are ready for a scheduled install at a later time.

Ok, thanks for your suggestion.
