Hi, i have the following problem with my task sequence. my intention is to run a script whcih is part of a package i created before. also part of the package is a script the first one calls. the whole package contains 2 files. First one is a cmd-file(opendiskpart.cmd) which runs diskpart and the second is a script(script.txt) which includes the commands diskpart should import. I tried to run a command line "cmd.exe /c opendiskpart.cmd" . but nothing happens, i think the client doesnt recieve any packages, so the command line cant call the mentioned script within the package. when i initiated the client to recieve new policies and packages the cache folder keeps empty. The reports i get dont reveal any helpfull information to me. The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Run Command Line) in the group ( ) with the error code 1 Action output: =======================[ smsswd.exe ] ======================= PackageID = 'BRD00019' BaseVar = '', ContinueOnError='' SwdAction = '0001' Getting linked token WinHttp credentials set failed to get the token information List of files to be downloaded Downloaded file from http://BRD-CFG1.BRD.NET:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKGC%24/BRD00019/diskpart.cmd to D:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\BRD00019\diskpart.cmd Downloaded file from http://BRD-CFG1.BRD.NET:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKGC%24/BRD00019/script.txt to D:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\BRD00019\script.txt Resolved source to 'D:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\BRD00019' Working dir 'D:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\BRD00019' Executing command line: Run command line Process completed with exit code 1 D:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\BRD00019>diskpart.exe 0<d:\script.txt ?????????????????????????†???????4Command line returned 1 The system cannot find the file specified.. The operating system reported error 1: Incorrect function. Finally i have 2 questions. 1. does a call for command-files or vbs-files via command line allways use the package i chose, or does it need any path? 2. how to create such a package correctly and how has the command line look like, to call a file from the package? Thanks in advance

You can use %~dp0 in .bat/-cmd file to get the directory where the script actually was started from. You don't have to prefix opendiskpart.cmd with "cmd /c". The batchfile should look like "diskpart /yourparameters %~dp0YourINIfile".

i tried your suggestions, but after advertising the task sequence the status doesnt change from running action: run command line to failure or success. i think the client is looking for the package i selected. but the package isnt recieved by the client.

Regards, Madan

that was also my idea and renamed the files. but that wasnt the solution.

What does diskpart.cmd contain exactly?
