We recently upgrade our Hyland Onbase server to a new version, 8.2.
This required a touch to be done to each device, as the following software needed to be loaded.
- The Hyland Code Access Security
- The Visual C ++ run-time components
- And .net 2.0 sp1
To install these the user needed Admin rights, & I didn’t think it would be a good use of time to sit at each device, and wait for .net 2.0 sp1 to install. This and we had over 50 devices to hit.
Here was my solution
I copied all the files to a share, lets call the server test, and the share onbase
We run spybot corporate on all of our devices , therefore I had to shut that down first, and I introduced ping’s to pause the bat file, to allow the computers to load before starting the install.
I used taskkill to kill spybot more than once, for the same process, because of the variation of computer speeds in our environment.
I had to copy the Code Access Security to the desktop to get it to see the XML file correctly, from which in pulls the production server name.
Therefore, I developed a login script that did the following.
Here we go
“
net use Z: \testonbase$
Z:
taskkill /f /im Tea*
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
taskkill /f /im Tea*
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
vcredist_x86.exe
taskkill /f /im Tea*
NetFx20SP1_x86.exe /qb /norestart
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
mkdir "C:Documents and Settings%username%Desktoponbase"
copy "Hyland Code Access Security.msi" "C:Documents and Settings%username%DesktoponbaseHyland Code Access Security.msi"
copy settings.xml "C:Documents and Settings%username%Desktoponbasesettings.xml"
"C:Documents and Settings%username%DesktoponbaseHyland Code Access Security.msi" /passive
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 127.0.0.1
rmdir /S /Q "C:Documents and Settings%username%Desktoponbase
net use Z: /delete /Y
logoff
“
Therefore, with this script all you had to do was login to the device and walk away.
I hope someone can get some use from this.
