Prompt user at Altiris Console for input?
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 3 comments
I am creating a task that initiates a FTP transfer to pull a file back from my remote locations to our Corporate offices. These files are transaction logs from our stores so they are dated. Is there any way to prompt the user at the Altiris Console for input to run the script with? I can run this task with a fixed date when I put it into the task commands, but I would like for our helpdesk to be able to run this task to get the file for whatever date without actually being able to edit the task itself.

I don't know of a good way to do this so I will follow the post for ideas, but you could make use of the computer property fields for a machine. For example have them fill in the entry for "Site: ", then in your script use %SITE%. I am sure there are other creative workarounds.
Also, you could make it prompt on the client side pretty easy with VBscript.
Client side won't work
Client side is not an option since these are servers and nobody uses them interactively.

You helpdesk could remote control and input the info. That's even easier if no one actively users the system. If that isn't allowed by them then use the first suggestion.
