Hi, i am using a script for creating a system recovery point. This script works for Win 7, but not on Win 8.1

can anyone help me adjust the script, so it work also for Win 8.1, or give me any other script to do it?

here is the script that works for Win 7:

'------------------------------------------------------
'Create an instant System Restore Point under Windows 7
'------------------------------------------------------
If WScript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then
  Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
  oShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """ Run", , "runas", 1
Else
  Set oWshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  oWshShell.Popup "Creating a SystemRestore point. Please wait.", 2, "System Restore", 0
  swinmgmts = "winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore"
  GetObject(swinmgmts).CreateRestorePoint "Scheduled Restore Point", 0, 100
   MsgBox "System Restore Point created", 0, "System Restore"
End If

Hi,

With PowerShell it's much easier. Just use CheckPoint-Computer cmdlet.

Hi,

Have you tried PowerShell? How was the result? Could you let us know what the error message appear when it ran in Windows 8.1?

Why didn't you use the built-in tool?
