CMD command not returning results in a Form

Post by simon.briggs »

Hello all

After searching I can't find anything that covers this issue.

I am trying to put together an app for our service desk to use to unlock files on our NAS. I'm trying to use 'openfiles /Query /S <server> /FO CSV' to pull the list of open files from the NAS. This code works by itself when run in the console but when triggered as a button press on a form nothing is returned in the console. I call dfsutil on a different button press which works without issue. Openfiles runs by itself and will give an access denied error as openfiles requires local admin to run. It appears as though the command completes but just returns nothing where it should be returning a reasonable amount of information.

$cmd = 'openfiles'
$arg1 = '/Query'
$arg2 = '/S'
$arg3 = '<server>'
$arg4 = '/FO'
$arg5 = 'CSV'
& $cmd $arg1 $arg2 $arg3 $arg4 $arg5

Found the answer by including a script file and calling it from the form.

Call-script_ps1 | Out-Default

The above returns the expected data.
