Hey all,

I am developing a very simple deployment solution. It works well but I'm having some trouble with the return/error codes. When I put a fictitious target computer name in tst.txt, it will return either 0, 53, or 9009 (due to DNS issues on our network). It will return a 0 when it has executed successfully on a real target computer. Here's the source below:

@echo off
echo ********************** >>errors.txt
date /t >>errors.txt
time /t >>errors.txt
echo ---------------------- >>errors.txt
cls
for /f %%a in (tst.txt) DO (
echo Executing on %%a
echo ======================
PSEXEC %%a -c "C:\deployment tool\dummy.bat" dummy.bat
echo %%a reported errorlevel: %errorlevel% >> errors.txt
echo ======================
echo %errorlevel%
pause )

It reads the names of target machines from tst.txt. Dummy.bat is the script that is to be run on the target machines. And error.txt is of course where the errorlevel is supposed to be recorded.

I know that there would be a fair amount of interest in a system like this and hope that we can get this up and running.

Thanks in advance!

Try this...

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET TARGETFILE=%~dp0targets.txt
SET LOG=%~dpn0.log

IF EXIST "!LOG!" DEL /Q "!LOG!"
CALL :TEE %DATE: =0%, %TIME: =0%
CALL :TEE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IF EXIST "%TARGETFILE%" FOR /F "tokens=*" %%C IN ('type "%TARGETFILE%"') DO (
	IF "%%~C"=="" GOTO :EOF
	SET COMMAND=PSEXEC %%~C -c "C:\deployment tool\dummy.bat" dummy.bat
	CALL :TEE running !COMMAND!
	CALL !COMMAND!
	IF NOT !ERRORLEVEL! EQU 0 (
		CALL :TEE %%C reported errorlevel: !ERRORLEVEL!
	)
	CALL :TEE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
)
PAUSE
GOTO :EOF

:TEE
	ECHO %*
	ECHO %* 2>&1 1>>"%LOG%"
	GOTO :EOF
