Hello All,
I'm trying to deploy a remote silent installation on my network using the task Remote Execute but he follow message appear:

The process was not started successfully. Start code: 2. Access DeniedException in Task: Non zero exit code

I use a Network domain admin user to distribute the software, I've specify the name of PC, and I reported the correct command (this is correct because executing from a PC as Administrator the program was installed.
I've tried to esxecute that with the version 7.0.9 and 7.1.2 but the resukt is the same
see the attched screen shot

does anybody has an advise to get over this issue?

kind regards
Alessandro

Try creating a local admin on the remote machine and use that as a Credential to see if that works better.

But with the new functionality of Execute Task it might be better, if you have the licenses, to use the remote mode (in Execution context) of Execute Task.

Hello,
I've tried to use the Remote Execute using local Administrator (PcName\Administrator) as Credential, and the error reported is the same
The process was not started successfully. Start code: 2. Access DeniedException in Task: Non zero exit code
I've see that the same error appear when I use a netwok share independently of using local administrator or network Administrator
Trying move the installation folder on local PC an execute task again the follow error appears
The process was not started successfully. Start code: 9. Path Not FoundException in Task: Non zero exit code

About the functionality you suggest to me, I don't understand how to use it because I've to install the program on some client Windows 7 from the Visual Cron Server. could you please give me the procedure step by step?

in order to solve this issue I've attached the zip files of the job about Cognos, that it didn't work and you can find another job about Lync installation that I used and it works well; this can clear my target that I want to have for Cognos installation.

Thanks a lot

I deleted the attachment. I advise that you do not post settings here unless they are not sensitive.

It does not strange that the error is start code 9 when trying to use Remote execute on local file. This does not work.

Here are the steps for Execute Task in remote mode:

1. install VisualCron Server on remote server
2. create an execute Task and use same local (remote) path
3. edit the Execution context of the Execute Task. Create a Connection to remote server if you have not done that. Select it in the Execution context. And, set it to Remote mode.
4. run the Task

I can use your method because I've to install a client application on 60 windows 7 client, so it doesn't seem it's good idea install Visual Cron server on that client. I'm trying to deploy installation remotely and automacally by Visual Cron, and into the last attachment you could find another job successfully run for Lync installation.
in that job I copy the installation folder on client and I Excute Remotely typing the follow path and it worked
C:\LyncSetup_x64.exe
so I don't understand this different behaviour....

I guess it depends on what you do in the script/executable. For example if you are trying to access network resources you might run into a problem.

Hi there,
I've find a work around, I've changed the script as the following:
from
C:\Cognos10\win32\issetup.exe -s
to
C:\Cognos10\win32\issetup.exe -s cogname.ats
I didn't understand the reason why but, cutting the second parameter, it works.

another point maybe could be interesting:
copying the installation folder locally on PC and executing the the installation command is possible to install remotely a program using Remote Execute

thanks a lot
bye

You should use:

Command: C:\Cognos10\win32\issetup.ex
Parameter: -s cogname.ats

Not all in the same field (command).
