hi all experts,

just wondering if there is an easy way to pass on the TS variables into a batch file. I have a working Run Command Line step on my TS as follows:

cmd.exe /c "set tsname=%_SMSTSPackageName% & .\mybatchfile.bat"

This is ok when only passing on 1 variable, but not with many variables as you can imagine. '

Any idea of any other way that fits in with multiple variables scenario?

Thanks,
Xm

does this one help ?

thanks Niall, but not sure how the link above relates to my question - would you mind to shed some light?

I *think* what Niall is getting at is to use a VBScript instead (or some other COM aware tool) or asking why are you wanting to do this? Knowing why often helps us help you.

if it was the case then the reason I want to do this is that because we have quite a lot of batch files that it would take a lot of time if I was having to convert to VBscript etc. So the easiest way I think is to get those SCCM variables that I need and put it in the existing batch files script to work with.

I do have workarounds to those which I've been using i.e. one of them is the command line that I mentioned above. However, it's the fine-tuning time, so I'm trying to make the scripts run better.

Using the same method that you posted this is what I did for use of multiple variables.  This is how I tested to see if it would work as expected.

Run Command as follows.
cmd.exe /c "set deployroot=%computername% & set scriptroot=%username% & C:\runme.bat"

Runme.bat file.
@echo off
echo %deployroot%
echo %scriptroot%
pasue
