I am trying to run this command in jenkins after a MSbuild
xcopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk\Projects\results\results\obj\Debug\Package\PackageTmp" "Y:\Extraction_Zone\Jenkins\" /E
Y: is a mapped network drive. This runs fine in cmd.exe but when trying to run it in Jenkins, I am getting the error Invalid drive specification.
Here is the output from jenkins:
Time Elapsed 00:00:04.03
[trunk] $ cmd /c call C:\Windows\TEMP\hudson3389873107474371072.bat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk>xcopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk\Projects\results\results\obj\Debug\Package\PackageTmp" "Y:\Extraction_Zone\Jenkins\" /E
Invalid drive specification
0 File(s) copied
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk>exit 4
Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure

Any help would be appreciated.
I too had a similar issue once. Try granting the Jenkins service "Logon as This account" right under services.msc and make sure the account you type there is the same as the one you use for running cmd.exe.
These commands based on Java JAR files worked for me:
cmd
net use x: \\
xcopy "dist\" x:\ /Y
And that's it! I spent lot of time figure out this issue and nothing worked until I wrote CMD and NET USE!
Neither I didn't need to change permission on jenkins service nor use runas command.
But I must mention that everyone had read and write access to the network drive.
I had the same issue with my Windows Task running a batch file (I know it is not exactly same) where I tried to copy file to network location i.e. shared drive. I used the UNC path and mapped drive as well but the error was same. For me it was error number 4 - MS DOS error code.
The solution was to use net use command! Hope that it helps.
Easy fix for most things.
Make a batch command with what your trying to run, filename.bat with the command prompt text inside.
Make a normal windows shortcut for the batch command, edit the shortcuts advanced properties and check the "Run as admin" (tricky tricky).
Now run the filename.lnk shortcut from jenkins command line call, this will get you around all the jazz.
:)
The solution of adarshr (i.e., modifying the log on credentials of the service) has worked for me for a part of the problem: in my case, this allowed me to successfully check out a mercurial repository (using ssh protocol), which I could not do when using 'Local System account'.
However, I still have different behavior between running a command-line script or running the same script from a jenkins 'execute shell' script in the build section. In my case, I compile a Python extension. In Jenkins, I cannot import the extension (I don't see any error, but the execution simply stops, so I suspect it crashes).
If I uninstall the service and run the slave agent as a Java Web Start, I do get the same behavoir. It is a temporary fix for me, but it means that when I reboot the windows build machine, I have to manually re-start the Java Web Start application.
So -at least in my case- it is clear that this is a credential problem.

I've solved my issue with the CIFS plugin.
Faced similar issue and found two ways to solve.
Type 1:
Tell Jenkins about mapped drive.
1.Goto -> Manage Jenkins -> Script Console (Groovy Script).
2.Run below command
def mapdrive = "net use Y: \\\\copy_nework_address"
mapdrive.execute();
println "net use".execute().getText()
Type:2
1.Goto -> cmd -> run "net use" to know network address
xcopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk\Projects\results\results\obj\Debug\Package\PackageTmp" "Copy_Network_Address\Extraction_Zone\Jenkins\" /E
Conclusion:- I prefer 2nd types as after every restart i should run Groovy Script.

I am currently attempting to use FileZilla Pro CLI on a Windows machine to connect and upload to a site in that is working in the Site Manager.
The issue is, the command below works perfectly when pasting it directly into the cmd line. However when saving it as a batch file, it simply just gets to the fzcli> prompt and then nothing happens.
The two line breaks are on purposes to override the requirement for a password and it works perfectly when pasted in.
Does anyone know if this is a cmd line issue, or if my commands need to be different to work in batch file mode?
fzcli
connect --site 0testsite01
put C:/inetpub/wwwroot/websites/sftp/files/customer/test-01.txt /test-sftp/testuser01/test/test-01-uploaded.txt
PAUSE
Your batch file executes fzcli in an interactive mode. The fzcli then waits for you to interactively enter the commands. Only after you would exit the fzcli, the batch file would continue. And fail, as it will try to execute connect as a batch file command. The fzcli does not know about the batch file. Nor does the batch file interpreter know about the fzcli commands.
It's a common misconception. You will find plenty of similar questions basically about scripting any tool that has its own commands. For example: sftp, ftp, psftp, winscp.
To provide commands to fzcli, it seems that you need to use --script switch. The fzcli documentation gives this example:
fzcli --mode standalone --script C:\Scripts\script-file
I'm trying to run a batch file from a local Windows server that calls on computers in my domain to pull from the shared folder and run an exe. I'm not sure if my script is trying to do too much or too little.
So I run the below batch locally
X:\pstools\psexec.exe \\Computer -d -u DOMAIN\user -p password -i \\SERVER\test\testfile.bat
and testfile.bat:
#echo off
pushd \\SERVER\test\
call program.exe
popd
When I run the script, psexec runs and I get a confirmation that testfile.bat was started on target computer. On the targeted computer nothing happens. If I navigate to the share on the targeted computer and run testfile.bat, I get "CMD.EXE was not started with the above path as the current directory.UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory." From there the computer runs the called .exe with no issues.
If I target this towards another server in my domain it executes perfectly, but not on domain computers. I thought maybe a GPO issue, but I can't find a solution.
Thanks for any knowledge or help provided!
Thanks for all the tips everyone! This is how I ended up getting it working for anyone who might have the same issue.
Script on Server:
x:\pstools\psexec.exe \\Computer(or text file with computers listed) -d -s cmd /c (batchfile.bat)
Similiar to what I was trying before, but to ensure you run the command line as System on the remote PC you have to specify "-s cmd". The /c copies the batch to the remote system to run locally. You can include a "-f" to overwrite if you've already copied it previously. I just put the batchfile in the pstools folder.
Batchfile.bat:
pushd \\networkdrive
call (.bat/.cmd/.exe/etc.)
popd
I disabled the firewall for testing, but I believe you have to open TCP-445/UDP-137 for PSEXEC. Otherwise, that's it. Super simple solution.
The issue
I am trying to create a batch file that will execute the following two commands:
cd /some/path
dotnet run
that produces the following output:
It starts my localhost server.
Trying To Accomplish
What I would like to do is, put those two commands in a batch file and automatically open Chrome to the server address, HOWEVER, the dotnet command takes some time to finish. So somehow, I would have to keep monitoring localhost to see if it is available.
Any help would be appreciated. Although opening a CMD window, typing those 2 commands, and waiting a minute isn't all that much of a problem, it sure would be nice to just click on a batch file.
Thank you.
You can create a batch file like this code :
#echo off
Set "ApplicationPath=%UserProfile%\source\repos\PruttPos\PruttPosSystem\"
CD /D "%ApplicationPath%"
dotnet run
Start "Chrome" Chrome.exe "http://localhost:5000"
pause
I have a batch file that I need to run within my NSIS installer. It just mount a network drive using NET USE Z: \server\folder. The installer seems to work fine, the cmd is launched and the commands even output like everything is fine 1, but the drive isn't actually mapped
image with commands output
the nsis section is
Section ""
;Install path
SetOutPath $INSTDIR
;the bat file
File network.bat
;execute bat
Exec '"$INSTDIR\network.bat"'
SectionEnd
If I execute the bat manually the drives get mapped perfectly. I also try executing the net command directly by using nsExec::ExecToLog '"C:\Windows\System32\net.exe" use z: \\server\folder' or Exec "$SYSDIR\Net.exe use z: \\server\folder" or ExecWait '"cmd.exe" /C net use z: \\server\folder' but I get the same result.
The bat content is the following:
NET USE Z: /d
NET USE Z: \\server\folder
pause
What am I doing wrong? What else can I try? Im testing installer on a Win10 Home edition if it helps.
Thanks in advance.
Mapped drives are not shared across UAC boundaries.
Applicable solutions/workarounds:
You can use the RequestExecutionLevel User attribute in your script if you do not require administrator rights to install your application.
Use UNC paths (\\server\folder)
If you are installing a application, the application can set the mapping when it is started.
Use the ShellExecAsUser plug-in to execute the batch file in the context of Explorer.exe
Anders answers works great and clarify me on which was the problem, in my context I couldn't use 1-3 options so I start doing 4 and it lead me to this use explorer to run as current user it gaved me a simpler solution.
Exec '"$WINDIR\explorer.exe" "$INSTDIR\network.bat"'
Just point one more thing, if the installer, is not ELEVATED, this logic is not relevant, because then you can just run Exec which will have the same elevation as your process.
I'm try to create a batch file that will, among other things like installing the newest version of our software, first UNINSTALL the old version. I have used "wmic product get name" to find the actual name of the program, and then I have scripted the following code to uninstall the program:
wmic product where "name like 'Borland CaliberRM 10.1'" call uninstall /nointeractive >> C:\users\pbrandvold\Desktop\log.txt
When it's finished, I get this message:
Executing (\\PHIL-BRANDVOLD\ROOT\CIMV2:Win32_Product.IdentifyingNumber="{ED8B0A1F-8E90-478A-82B6-7C885A628257}",Name="Borland CaliberRM 10.1",Version="10.1.0.84")->Uninstall()
Method execution successful.
Out Parameters:
instance of __PARAMETERS
{
ReturnValue = 1603;
};
I can't think of what is happening - why won't this uninstall? I've also tried using the msi, and running:
msiexec.exe /qn /x "Borland CaliberRM 10.1.msi"
Which doesn't work either.
I had this issue when trying to uninstall and reinstall Web Deploy using wmic via a batch file. It did not help running the batch file with elevated privileges.
The only way I could get it to run correctly was to open a Command Prompt window with elevated privileges and run the batch file through that.
The solution I ended up going with was to turn my batch file into an executable using a Bat to Exe converter. http://www.f2ko.de/en/b2e.php
The issue occurs due to the user's privileged of uninstalling the program.
Just open the command prompt as 'Run as administrator and run your command to uninstall the program.
Example :
open cmd with admin:
run below commands
wmic
product get name
product where name="YOUR_PROGRAM_NAME" call uninstall
