Hello, Chris.

Telling from the screen output, I wonder if any error occurs at all. Rather it seems as if "change user" always returns 1 on successful completion?! Confused
C:\>CHANGE USER /INSTALL
User session is ready to install applications.

C:\>echo %errorlevel%
1

C:\>CHANGE USER /EXECUTE
User session is ready to execute applications.

C:\>echo %errorlevel%
1
So actually, the exit code 1 might be a cosmetic issue only. You might add "exit /b 0" as the last commandline of "hsrfix.bat". Yet, somehow doing so defeats the purpose of exit codes.

Regards,
Sven

Thanks for the speedy reply.. Below is the screen output at the time of the errors
 
 
C:\PsTools>sleep 5

C:\PsTools>psexec -u <domain>\<useraccount> -p <password> @server.txt "C:\Installs\hsrfix.bat"

PsExec v1.94 - Execute processes remotely
Copyright (C) 2001-2008 Mark Russinovich

\\server1:


C:\WINDOWS\system32>echo
ECHO is on.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>CHANGE USER /INSTALL
User session is ready to install applications.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>regsvr32 /s "<path to dll>.dll"

C:\WINDOWS\system32>regsvr32 /s "<path to dll>.dll"

C:\WINDOWS\system32>CHANGE USER /EXECUTE
User session is ready to execute applications.
C:\Installs\hsrfix.bat exited on server1 with error code 1.
 
 
 
 
The more I look at it it would appear to be something to do with the change user /install or /execute command that seems to be causing the error code 1.
 
As previously stated the account being used is a domain admin
 
The change user commands are to ensure the server is in the correct mode for the installations that are being rolled out and then taken back out afterwards as per MS's advice for TS installations
 
Thanks Chris

Hello, Chris.

May we see the complete screen output which psexec displays, please? (Camouflage confidential names before posting, please) psexec should display 1 or 2 lines near the exit code message explaining what went wrong.

Regards,
Sven

Could someone please help I am trying to use psexec to remotely register a couple of dll's on a machine following a implementation that would appear to have slightly wrong however the below command exits with error code 1
 
psexec -u <domain>\<userobject> -p <password> @servers.txt -i "C:\Installs\hsrfix.bat"
 
Within this bat file is the command to register two dll's
 
CHANGE USER /INSTALL
regsvr32 /s "path to.dll"
regsvr32 /s "path to.dll"
CHANGE USER /EXECUTE
 
BTW this server is a citrix server hence the change user commands.
 
I have full domain rights and I am using my own credentials to carry this out.
I have also tried without the -i option
 
Any ideas would be gratefully recieved....thanks
