Problem
When executing a Command Script with the advanced option of "Save script output with task status" selected, certain commands will not execute causing script failures and other problems. Not all have been tested, but some of the commands that do not execute correctly include:
- xcopy
- pause
The results therefore can be rather confusing, including but not limited to:
- Crashing altiris agent - which could happen when a task that should have been executed first is not and the following task generates an error
- Incorrect results - which happen because the results from the task indicate certain things have happened which have not, in fact, occurred.
- Failed scripts that work just fine when run stand-alone
- Missing data
Environment
TS7 on SMP 7.0 sp4
Cause
Development is aware and is researching the issue.
Solution
Currently, the resolution is to de-select this option or find another way to accomplish the same functionality.
