Error message: Custom script failed on the console machine. The script is too long -
Description
A Backup that run a script as a post-backup action is failing with the following error message.
Error message: Custom script failed on the console machine. The script is too long
-
Cause
The command line length is limited to 1024 characters. Taking into account that the script is encoded, and besides the script, other parameters are also passed, the real length of the script is limited to about 400 characters. -
Resolution
This limitation exists only in one case: for console scripts (on Console Side tab) that are executed under an explicitly specified account.Therefore, as a workaround, you can:1) Turn off "Use the following account to run scripts" option and execute the script under the current account.2) Run script on a domain controller (use DC Side tab).3) Remove unnecessary comments from the script.
