Client Management Suite

I'm trying to create a task which will delete an exe file from the logged on users desktop so far I have not been able to do this on a windows 7 machine from within Altiris 7.1 sp2 to a machine. I have tested the script directly on the machine from a CMD window and it works fine  but it won't work from the quick run option from the Task Status window. The script I have is as follows: Del "%homepath%\Desktop\Elior Signature-v2.9.exe"

If I put a pause line in it states: Could Not Find C:\Windows\system\Signature-v2.9.exe

Am I using the wrong variable for the logged on user? I can't find an answer to this although I'm sure it'll be simple in the end any help is greatly appreciated as always. thanks

You need to run the script in the context of the logged on user, by default it will run in the context the Agent runs in, the Local System account.

Thanks for the response I hadn't thought about that, is there a way of running this script from a task which will reference the logged on user account?

First of all you may try something like %systemdrive%%homepath% instead of %homepath% only, because %homepath% will return \Users\UserLogin without letter drive.

And for your task you must set Run As parameter to 'Current logged-on user' (under 'Advanced...' button at Run Script task edit page). It will look like this:

Just to clarify, i have managed to get this to work now using: Del "%homepath%\Desktop\Elior Signature-v2.9.exe"
 and using the advanced option to Run As Current logged-on User as above

Thanks guys for steering me in the right direction.

resolved by using:Del "%homepath%\Desktop\Elior Signature-v2.9.exe"
 

Then choosing the Run as option logged on user in advanced setting of the task.
