This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hello,
I am needing to recall placeholders for multiple users on different targets and was wondering if anyone had a VB script that could access a spreadsheet of target paths and run fsa utility to recall the placeholders. Just thought I would see if someone had already done this instead of recreating the wheel?

Thanks!
Travis

The only thing I can think

The only thing I can think off is if you extract all the paths to a text file and paste the fsautility command with switches to the begining of each line (coudld easily do this in excel aswell) and then saving as a batchffile and running.  ?You could also run it and export the output to a text file to keep a log of progress.

Another idea is, I have heard that run an AV scan can recall placeholders, have you tried running a test scan against some archived items in your environments to see if it does recall items.  If so can you use AV.

Hi TIA, I have tried the AV

Hi TIA,
I have tried the AV and it was very hit or miss, so I was looking at other options. I will mess around with the Batch idea to see what I can come up with.
Thanks!

We´ve got one

I think we´ve got one script that can take as an input a csv file and will recall in a programatically way the specified files.

Let me find it and check if I can provide it to you in the forum.

Hi Gonz, I think the script

Hi Gonz,

I think the script you are referring to is one I created that doesn't use FSA Utility. I also have one that does, but it's a "you can use this but its not supported" scenario....

thanks

It would be easier if you log a support case to pursue this.

Open a case, please

I can confirm that we have that script.

It is the one that mentions GPKGuy. 

But the best thing you can do it is to open a support case.

Thanks!
