Incorrect Function

Ronny Brehm — Tue, 06 May 2008 19:45:39 GMT

I have a new installation of RDP 3.8 to replace an existing 3.7 installation. This is a brand new installation on a new Windows 2003 SP2 VM. The installation went fine and I can PXE boot my test server into altiris and drop the image with no problems. Default settings are all in place. The problem comes whenever it tries to copy files to the server in the build process. I get an Incorrect Function error as in the included picture and logs. Is anyone familiar with this?

And here are the logs from the build.

Heyy Ronny,
Make sure the RDP Server has a DHCP IP; not a Static IP.

Regards.

I am having the same issue on my windows 2003 build, but lost at what you mean what you say the RDP needs a DHCP address, my network is setup as follows:-
10.0.0.1 static RDP Server
10.0.0.2-10.0.3.253 DHCP Range running from my RDP server, what have i done wrong?

Thanks,

James

I wasn't sure what he meant either. My case is still open, I'm having a couple other people here look at it and if I don't have it fixed by Tuesday I'll open a ticket with HP. I'll update this post when I figure it out.

I am having the same problem deploying a job with any kind of a script file. Are there any logs anywhere? Even the standard out of the box default deployment jobs.

Hubert - Also check you can actually see the disks.

Boot the server and go into the array controller. If you cant it means the array controller mezz card is not seated correctly.

Did someone find a solution to this problems? It started happening to me as well. It says incorrect function, module win32. I'm using scripted windows installation which have worked week before and nothing has changed. Tried it today and it keeps failing

I've been modifying some scripting previously done by someone else and a recent change I made started causing my first script in a build to error with the Incorrect Function message. It turned out that there was a specific line referencing the MKDIR command which existed previously but must have been getting IF'ed around as I never previously had this problem. Through my modifications, this line started executing and caused the Incorrect Function error for me. Apparently when MKDIR attempted to execute without a valid directory, it was returning a "the syntax of the command is in correct" error which was apparently captured by RDP and reported as an error. Once I correct the line, it executed properly.

I suggest inserting PAUSE's after each of the commands in your failing scripts so you can see if there are any commands being executed that generate errors.

I have had "Incorrect function" while running scripted installation of server 2003 os jobs or any other, using WinPE as boot environment. After I got error, I run couple of jobs using linux pre-boot. This somehow helped and I could run jobs with WinPE afterwards.

Has anyone experienced similar issue with version 3.82?

I am thinking about upgrading from 3.80.

Does anyone have a fix for this.

The only way I have found is to reinstall RDP.

not that it always works, restarting services via Altiris configuration interface helps

has anyone seen same error in 3.82?

If these are DOS style commands that are attempting to run (i.e. not vb script) try prepending "cmd /c " to the command: e.g. cmd /c runme.exe

Ronny, did you ever find out what the problem was? We have the same error message on our system. Thanks Mario
