Add BAT Script

Add BAT Script

You can create your own batch scripts to run as a pre-installation, mid-level, or port-installation task in the KACE Boot Environment for Windows before or after installing the operating system, or re-imaging a target device.

1.
Complete one of the following steps:
a.
On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Pre-installation Tasks to display the Pre-installation Tasks page.
b.
On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Mid-level Tasks to display the Mid-Level Tasks page.
c.
On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Post-installation Tasks to display the Post-installation Tasks page.
2.
On the list page that appears, select Choose Action > Add BAT Script.
3.
On the page that appears, in Name, enter a logical name to identify the task.
The task runs in the KACE Boot Environment (Windows).
4.
In BAT Script, enter the script.
You can use the following commonly used commands available from within the KACE Boot Environment (KBE):
◦
bcdedit.exe
◦
bootsect.exe
◦
chkdsk.exe
◦
format.com
5.
Select the Reboot Required check box to reboot the appliance and run the next task in the sequence.
6.
In Expected Return Code, enter a code that the task should return, if applicable. Otherwise, leave the default value of zero '0'.
In general, most tasks exit with a zero '0' code, indicating success, but you can set it to any positive value, as applicable. Some installers exit with a different code, even when the install is successful. For example, anti-virus installers are typically successfully installed but exit with a different return code because they require a device reboot.
7.
In Notes, add a note to identify the task.
8.
Click Save.
The task is now available to assign to scripted installations, sysprepped system images, and non-sysprepped system image deployments.

Common DiskPart command-line options

Common DiskPart command-line options

You can use DiskPart scripts to select objects, remove partitions for a disk, create a partition, make partition active, and to assign drive letters.

Selecting objects

•
select disk=[n]
•
select partition=[n]
•
select volume=[{n|d}]

Use the parameter n to specify the number of the object to select. You can also select Volumes by the drive letter, specified as d.

Cleaning a disk

•
clean [all]

Removes all partitions from a disk. The all parameter specifies that every sector on the disk is zeroed.

Creating partitions

•
create partition primary [size=n] [offset=n]
•
create partition extended [size=n] [offset=n]
•
create partition logical [size=n] [offset=n]

Creates a primary, extended, or logical partition. If size is not specified, the partition consumes the remaining available space. If offset is not specified, the partition is created in the first available space. After the partition is created, it is selected.

Making the Boot partition

•
active

Marks the currently selected partition as the active or bootable partition.

Assigning drive letters

•
assign [letter=d]
•
Assigns a drive letter to the currently selected partition. If a letter is not specified, the first available letter (starting with C) is used.
