Title
Unable to execute xcopy command in script using the KACE SMA -
Description
The symptom of the problem is deploying the xcopy command in a script using the KACE SMA appliance, the xcopy command doesn't show any error message in the execution log and does not copy the files to the destination location. The xcopy command works fine outside of KACE SMA appliance in a command line. This can also happen to other commands as well beside the xcopy command. -
Resolution
Some commands have issues running from within the Scripting environment in KACE because they try to execute before the script releases control of the files they are trying to manipulate.
The current workaround would to pre append the start /wait command in front of the xcopy command.
For example:
xcopy \\printsvr\installs\ABC c:\Drivers\ABC\
Use the following instead:
start /wait xcopy \\printsvr\installs\ABC c:\Drivers\ABC\
