Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues figuring out how to complete certain tasks
with a batch file, whether it be not knowing the right syntax or if it can
even be accomplished with a batch file. Heres my problem.
I work in the IT department at a local bank and we are in the
process of deploying new PCs for some of the employees with older work
stations. I just finished staging about a dozen of them and in the next month
or so we will be recieving a shippment of about 20 or more.
Our staging process involves several different things including
running the initial setup of windows, updating windows, configuring certain
things in the system properties such as adding the computer to the local
domain, installing several different programs, and changing the security
properties for a few different things. Needless to say, this is a very long,
time consuming process. I can spend between 2 and 3 hours on each individual
machine, and thats before it even leaves the IT department!
Just recently I thought "Hey, I could probably use a batch file to
do most of this stuff". So, I began constructing the code and, of course, ran
into many problems. I've learned alot about how batch files work and their
syntax but I'm not very experienced with them.
Here is a list of problems that I've ran into:
1. I don't know how to change system properties or if it is even possible
-I need to add the computer to the local domain
-I need to uncheck the Allow Remote Assistance in the remote tab
2. I need to map a network drive
3. I have to change the security settings for a folder
-I need to add the Domain Users group with full control privledges
*I already found the command (cacls) but i keep getting
the error
message "The trust relationship between this
workstation and
the primary domain failed". Whats that all
about?
4. I need to access the Computer Management Console
-Add APP-ZEUS to the Power Users group
5. I need to change the trusted sites in internet security settings
-Uncheck the Require Server Verification box
-Add an IP address to the sites
6. And last but DEFINENTLY not least, I want to know if its possible to
automate software installations and setups with a batch and, if so, how.
Ok, I know thats alot but help would be greatly appreciated. I've
searched the web but it seems like I'm getting everything except what I need.
If you don't know about everything but still have an idea about some things,
any help would be beneficial.
Thanks,
Rusty Roser

I need help closing a CMD window when it is executed from Access.
1) The batch file is called from Access.
2) Access closes,
3) the batch runs a copy of the access database (creating a backup)
4) Once the copy is complete, the batch file opens the Access database
again
5) EXIT should close out the cmd window but it does not execute that
line

I need to execute a batch file via ASP.Net. In my VB.Net code, I'm
using System.Diagnostics.Process to call the batch file and its
appropriate command line arguments. I'm using
System.Diagnostics.Process.StandardError and
System.Diagnostics.Process.StandardOutput to capture and view the
output and error messages. My web.config file has the following:

Hi,
I am creating a small batch file that (hopefully) will copy files from one name to another. however one batch of files cause problems - for the application they are going to be used in, they have to have a % sign in the name - i.e. 1194EL%2f03.jpg (they are all image files).
When I run the following, the % sign is removed, obviously as it has a certain use in batch files.
copy 10_20tc_500.jpg 10%2f20X1%2f2TC.jpg
copy 10_20tc_500.jpg...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
