How to call a Visual Basic Script (VBS) inside of the SMA Scripting module?

The first thing to do is determine how to call a Visual Basic script outside of the SMA (Systems Management Appliance) environment and then compare to the SMA environment.

On a command prompt, there is an executable in Windows called cscript.exe that can be used to run Visual Basic Scripts. It resides in C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory.

For example:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe Test.vbs

To run a script as a batch file (.bat), with credentials, create a batch file use the following syntax.

To prompt you for the password:
runas /user:username "cscript.exe //D \\avnwdc13\renameprof\install_service.vbs"

To include the password:
runas /user: username /password:password "cscript.exe //D \\avnwdc13\renameprof\install_service.vbs"

In the K1000 Environment:
The following example uses "Launch a program" in the SMA scripting to call a Visual Basic Script:

On Success
1. Launch “$(KACE_SYS_DIR)\cscript.exe” with params
“”$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\dump_eventlog.vbs“
”$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\eventlog.txt“”.

Or create a batch file to call your script:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe Test.vbs

Remember to attach the actual vbs script file in the dependencies section.
