using Adding a Remote Job

[diebos]

I am trying to delete a file on a remote computer using the More Functions/Add Remote Job. This should be a fairly simple task but the final solution continues to elude me. I running a command line “del /f c:\netsweeper\ns_walog.txtâ€. It never deletes the file and after looking at the event viewer it states “the system cannot find the file specifiedâ€. I can run the command on the local machine from a cmd prompt and it runs correctly. What am I missing???

Re: using Adding a Remote Job

You might want to try a quick test using Create Macro instead. You'll select a few test computers in the right-hand window, then go to Tools->Create Macro. The Macro Command String should be:

del \\%E%\c$\netsweeper\ns_walog.txt

Enter an Output Filname of something like:

c:\delwalog.bat

Click OK and Hyena will create the delwalog.bat file. Go to your Command Prompt and type delwalog.bat and see if that does what you are needing.

That does work but I left out the part where that I need to do this to about 900 remote computers. It did give me some ideas to try.

Thanks!
