teksupsm Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I have a simple script that I want to run to blackhole some DNS sites (I know there are other scripts our there that do this in powershell and VB). I am having some issues with getting it to run properly because it does not seem to be submitting my variables in the run statement. I have highlighted the part that does not seem to work (tried both run and run(@ComSpec... Global $domain = "somedomain.com" Global $ipaddr = "127.0.0.1" Global $command = "dnscmd.exe " Global $zoneparameter = string(" /zoneadd " & $domain & " /Primary /file 000-sinkholed-domain.local.dns") Global $ipparameter = string(" /RecordAdd " & $domain & " @ A " & $ipaddr) Global $dns1 = "dnsserver1.local" $domcreate1 = $command & $dns1 & $zoneparameter $ipcreate1 = $command & $dns1 & $ipparameter ;why don't these work? Run($domcreate1) Run($ipcreate1) ;or these? Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'dnscmd.exe ' & $zoneparameter, "", @SW_SHOW) Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'dnscmd.exe ' & $ipparameter, "", @SW_SHOW) Edited April 18, 2014 by teksupsm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunte922 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 By the looks of it, you're missing a quotation at the end of Global $dns1 = "dnsserver1.local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teksupsm Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 You are correct I was missing a " , however, the run command still does not work. If I debug to message box it shows the following. For the run commands.... Run($domcreate1) Run($ipcreate1) For the run(@ComSpec commands.... Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'dnscmd.exe ' & $zoneparameter, "", @SW_SHOW) Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'dnscmd.exe ' & $ipparameter, "", @SW_SHOW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution teksupsm Posted April 18, 2014 Author Solution Share Posted April 18, 2014 Found the answer.... It was the File System Redirect (2008 x64) redirecting C:\Windows\System32\ to C:WindowsSysWow64 I was able to specify in the script the working dir and now it works (see changes below) $domain = "somedomain.com" $ipaddr = "127.0.0.1" $command = "dnscmd.exe " $workingdir = 'c:windowssysnative' $zoneparameter = string(" /zoneadd " & $domain & " /Primary /file 000-sinkholed-domain.local.dns") $ipparameter = string(" /RecordAdd " & $domain & " @ A " & $ipaddr) $dns1 = "dnsserver1.local" $domcreate1 = string ($dns1 & $zoneparameter) $ipcreate1 = string($dns1 & $ipparameter) RunWait($workingdir&$command & $domcreate1)RunWait($workingdir&$command & $ipcreate1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
