smart start scripting toolkit issue (systype/guicmd)

[kbashir]

Hi,

i am new to smart start scripting. I have managed to do the installation for dl360g2 with compaq smart start scripting. but as i had few different compaq machines I was implementing this in autoexec.bat

s:\cpq\systype ssstksys.ini
if errorlevel 53 goto DL580
if errorlevel 50 goto DL380
if errorlevel 49 goto ML530
if errorlevel 47 goto ML350
if errorlevel 71 goto DL360g2

but with this it correctly identifies the machine (if u run it on command line for dl360g2 it says system id: CPQ0724) but does not goto the section for the particular machine like dl360g2.bat in the autoexec.bat.

Another issue i was having was with guicmd.exe. If i have this line in cmd.txt
C:\ntcsp\setupex.exe /smartstart:C:\ntcsp\mgmtpwd.txt

Manully it runs ok but with guicmd it gives a install error.

Try moving the "if errorlevel 71..." line above the "if errorlevel 53..." line.

DOS return codes (errorlevels) will return "true" if the return code was equal to or higher than the specified errorlevel.

Hi,

Try using the following two commands in your cmd.txt file:

c:\ntcsp\setupc.exe /silent c:\ntcsp\bp000128.xml
waitonprocess SETUP50.EXE 120

Each time you change to a new SS package, just change the name of the xml file to match the one that came with the new SS package.
