command line wont run in server 2008 R2

[lhk69]

Any idea why this wont work??

#include <Process.au3>

Run("c:\windows\system32\dirquota quota list >> g:\quotareports\err.txt 2>&1", "c:\windows\system32")

_RunDos("c:\windows\system32\dirquota quota list >> g:\quotareports\err.txt 2>&1")

Neither will work. Runs fine from command prompt. But when I try to code it, it cant seem to find the path to the executable.

Ive also tried "shellexecute"

keeps returning.......

'c:\windows\system32\dirquota' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Runs fine on Windows 2003 R2

Yes, the exe is there.

Thanks in advance.

Nobody? Anybody??

I have never had an issue where I cannot get a command line function to run in the background. Is it specific to server2008?

This works on server2003.

ANY suggestions?? Help. Im stuck.

I cant think of anything else to try.

Here is the WHOLE code......

When you use Run you have to specify an EXE or BAT or ... file (for details please check the help file).

So this might return a result.

Run("C:\Windows\System32\dirquota.exe quota list >> g:quotareportserr.txt 2>&1", "C:\Windows\System32\")

[AdamUL]

What is the server "Role"? Is one of the "Roles" defined as "File Services"? You need to have " File Server Resource Manager" installed for dirquota to work, and that is installed when you select "File Services" from "Roles" under the "Server Manager".

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have already tried adding and removing the ".exe"

I tried changing all the the double quotes to single quotes.

Run('C:\Windows\System32\dirquota.exe quota list >> g:quotareportserr1.txt 2>&1', 'C:\Windows\System32\')   <---dosent work

_RunDos(@COMSPEC & ' /c C:\Windows\System32\dirquota.exe quota list >> g:quotareportserr2.txt 2>&1')  <---dosent work
RunWait( @COMSPEC & ' /c Echo On&&G:&&cd quotareports&&dir>multi.txt', '', @SW_HIDE )  <---works!!!!
RunWait( @COMSPEC & ' /c dirquota.exe quota list >> g:quotareportserr3.txt 2>&1', '', @SW_HIDE )   <---dosent work

Adam.

Thanks. Excellent idea. But - Yes, File Services are installed as a role. The command works just fine from the command line if I envoke it. But if I try to dode it to run in the background - FAILURE!!

[JLogan3o13]

This may or may not help, but I tried this out on one of my 2008 R2 boxes. For me, dirquota was not in the System32 directory. The script did not work when I copied it there; AutoIT stated it could not find the executable even though the path was clearly defined. I was able to successfully call it when I copied to the root of C: though, so perhaps a permissions issue?

[lhk69]

JLogan3o13 - thanks. I actually tried that too.

I think I figured it out. I compiled it with 64bit and it seems to be working. I need to do a little more testing. but I think its working.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

[AdamUL]

I'm glad you got it working. So it was 32-bit file redirection. If you need to compile it as 32 bit, turn off the redirection in the script.

DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "int", 1)

It is in the help file under "Running under Windows 64-bit Edition".

Adam

[lhk69]

Adam.

Thank you. That is new to me. I never knew I had to do anything like that. I will dig into the help file.

Thanks again.

[UEZ]

This works for me:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#include <constants.au3>
Global $sOutput = @ScriptDir & "Err.txt"
If FileExists($sOutput) Then FileDelete($sOutput)
Global $sCommand = "DirQuota.exe "
Global $sParameter = "quota list >> " & $sOutput & " 2>&1"

Global $sData
Global $pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $sCommand & $sParameter, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
While 1
    $sData &= StdoutRead($pid)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
;~  ConsoleWrite(StderrRead($pid) & @LF)
    Sleep(20)
Wend
MsgBox(0, "Test", FileRead($sOutput))

Very nice. MUCH better, more streamline code than mine. I am obviously a rookie. Thank you for the lesson.

[AdamUL]

Here are two more examples, that are similar to how UEZ wrote his, but reads STDOUT and writes the file with FileWrite.

x64

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#include <Constants.au3>
Global $sFileOut = @ScriptDir & "Err.txt"
If FileExists($sFileOut) Then FileDelete($sFileOut)

Global $iPID = Run("DirQuota quota list", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_MERGED)

ProcessWaitClose($iPID)
Global $sFile = StdoutRead($iPID)
FileWrite($sFileOut, $sFile)

MsgBox(0, "Test", FileRead($sFileOut))

x86: Turns off redirection.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#include <Constants.au3>
Global $sFileOut = @ScriptDir & "Err.txt"
If FileExists($sFileOut) Then FileDelete($sFileOut)

DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "int", 1) ;Turn off Redirection.
Global $iPID = Run("DirQuota quota list", @WindowsDir & "System32", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_MERGED) ;@SystemDir returns @WindowsDir & "SYSWOW64" under 32-bit.

ProcessWaitClose($iPID)
Global $sFile = StdoutRead($iPID)
FileWrite($sFileOut, $sFile)

MsgBox(0, "Test", FileRead($sFileOut))

Thinks Adam. Looks like I still have A LOT to learn. Thanks to ALL who contribute. LONG LIVE Auto-It!!!
