I have some trouble executing/using vbs scripts linked to printers. They are located in %windir%/System32/Printing_Admin_Scripts
The objective is to plan a weekly print task to preserve ink cartridge
Looking at the scripts, everything was available for me to create this task
The main script to use is prnqctl.vbs
Before to create my task, I have tried to test the script and this is what I got (sorry for the french version, I will try to update the screenshot in english later):
There is obviously something wrong.
I have tried to google the error code, nothing conclusive.
I have tried to run my script in admin mode and also under admin session, same problem
I have made some research on CIMWin32, it seems to be a dll and I can find it in some locations of my filesystem
My OS is W8.1.
If anybody has a suggestion or solution, I'm interested in
==>cscript C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnqctl.vbs -e
Unable to get printer instance. Error 0x80041002 Not found
Operation GetObject
Provider CIMWin32
Description
Win32 error code
The error culprit is clear: you should provide a valid -p argument. It's a mandatory parameter in case of -e operation:
==>cscript C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnqctl.vbs -e -p "Fax"
Success Print Test Page Printer Fax

I'm trying to get a Jenkins job to run sfdx force:data:soql:query commands in order to migrate configuration data sets between our production org and our sandboxes after a refresh. Certain configurations do not persist on a refresh so we need a way to move that data.
Running the queries from the command line on the Jenkins server work as expected, however the job when it runs fails with the following error:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
The job does three things:
Authorizes to the DevHub, lists out the connected orgs, and then performs a SQOL query to just print some data - 16 lines to be exact. Here are the commands in the shell script of the job:
sfdx force:auth:jwt:grant -i ${CONNECTED_APP_CONSUMER_KEY} -u ${DEV_HUB} -f ${JENKINS_HOME}/certs/prod/server.key -r [...] -a DevHub
sfdx force:org:list
sfdx force:data:soql:query -u ${DEV_HUB} -q "SELECT Id, Name FROM [...tablename...]" -r human
I am completely stumped on why this is happening. Again, running the SOQL command directly on the server through PowerShell or Command Line works as expected. I would appreciate any help with this.
This one stumped me for a long time but we finally got it figured out.
If you are seeing this error, make sure to check your machine's environmental variables. I saw a TON of other answers pointing to this as the issue where the install of SFDX path name had spaces in it as in C:|P:rogram Files\SFDX\bin but only showed some weird command line FOR loop that made no sense what so ever.
What we did was to completely uninstall all of SFDX making sure none of it was left on the machine and reinstalled into a folder we made where there was no spaces in the path name.
Once we did that, our job worked like it was supposed to. I hope this helps others who run into this same issue.
I'm trying to dump a jena database as triples.
There seems to be a command that sounds perfectly suited to the task: tdb2.dump
jena#debian-clean:~$ ./apache-jena-3.8.0/bin/tdb2.tdbdump --help
tdbdump : Write a dataset to stdout (defaults to N-Quads)
Output control
--output=FMT Output in the given format, streaming if possible.
--formatted=FMT Output, using pretty printing (consumes memory)
--stream=FMT Output, using a streaming format
--compress Compress the output with gzip
Location
--loc=DIR Location (a directory)
--tdb= Assembler description file
Symbol definition
--set Set a configuration symbol to a value
--mem=FILE Execute on an in-memory TDB database (for testing)
--desc= Assembler description file
General
-v --verbose Verbose
-q --quiet Run with minimal output
--debug Output information for debugging
--help
--version Version information
--strict Operate in strict SPARQL mode (no extensions of any kind)
jena#debian-clean:~$
But I've not succeded in getting it to write anything to STDOUT.
When I use the --loc parameter to point to a DB, a new copy of that DB appears in the subfolder: Data-0001, but nothing appears in STDOUT.
When I try the --tdb parameter, and point it to a ttl file, I get a stack trace complaining about its formatting.
Google has turned up the Jena documentation telling me the command exists, and that's it. So any help appreciated.
"--loc" should be the same as used to create the database.
Suppose that's "DB2". For TDB2 (not TDB1) after the database is created, then "DB2/Data-0001" will already exist. Do not use this for --loc. Use "--loc DB2".
If it is a TDB1 database (the files are in the directory at "--loc", no "Datat-0001"), the use tdbdump. An empty database has no triples/quads in it so you would get no output.
Fuseki currently (up to 3.16.0) has to be called with the same setup each time it is run, which is fragile regarding TDB1/TDB2. If you created the TDB2 database outside Fuseki and only use command line args, you'll need "--tdb2" each time.
Fuseki in next release (3.17.0) detects existing database type.
I have a job that needs to run a script on a remote computer. I'm doing so by using psexec via "Execute windows batch command":
C:\PsExec.exe \\computername -u username -p password -accepteula c:\xxx.exe
When I run the job I get the following error:
c:\PsExec.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command
** PsExec.exe is located under c:\
Any ideas?
First Define psexec.exe path in environment varaiable "PATH" or else place psexec.exe file in C:\Windows\System32\
And to Download Psexec.exe file
https://download.sysinternals.com/files/PSTools.zip
One possible explanation is the version of PsExec.exe: 32bits or 64bits.
If you have the 32 one on a 64bits machine, that command would not be recognized indeed. PsExec64.exe would.
I can see the age of this question and my answer may not be relevant to this topic since I was technically trying to solve a different problem, but maybe this will help other people who are stuck.
c:\PsExec.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command
I was trying to disable the Maintenance Configurator with PSExec (my problem is the never ending maintenance bug) and kept running into the same error as the OP BUT I got PSexec64 to run this command:
C:\PsExec64.exe -s schtasks /change /tn >"\Microsoft\Windows\TaskScheduler\Maintenance Configurator" /DISABLE
BY checking the "Run this program as an administrator" option under the Compatibility settings for "PsExec64.exe"
Don't know if this has solved my problem yet, but I think the OP would have been able to run his process if he had done this. Dear OP did you ever solve that?
I have the following problem: I have an ANT-task in Jenkins-CI that (apparently) needs access to OSX' window server (it needs to show a window). After doing some research, it appears that only the currently logged in user and the 'root' user (or SUDO) can access OSX' window server.
The ANT task (Adobe ADL) is one that actually 'runs' a build, so it has to popup a screen.
I'm on a macBook running OSX 10.7.something (Lion), Jenkins 1.487, Ant 1.8.4.
What i have tried so far:
to start with, tried the 'barebone' < exec > task to invoke ADL. Works, but getting error that means that Jenkins running as daemon (with homedir /Users/shared/Jenkins/Home) cannot access OSX' Window Server.
Run Jenkins as myself, by changing USER_NAME, GROUP_NAME, JENKINS_HOME in the jenkins launchd.conf file: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Thanks+for+using+OSX+Installer
this gives a lot of errors/trouble, which i tried to solve in communication with the creator of the Jenkins CI but, unfortunately to no avail.
Try to have Ant run an < exec > task (running a shell script) in which i try to sudo with a password using this sneaky way of passing a password to the stdinput: echo < password > | sudo -S < command > which is really bad, but as i'm running Jenkins locally (not reachable from the outside of my LAN) it's np.
Tried to have Ant run an < exec > task, using a 'redirector' with as inputstring my password. also superbad, but yea, i just want it to work. which it did not.
Tried a Jenkins SSH plugin: didn't work. I could, however, SSH to my own localhost using terminal, thing is, i don't know what the Jenkins SSH was trying to do (how can i figure that out anyway?) so i don't know why it wouldn't work.
Tried to have Ant run an SSHEXEC task (which, after some hours, finally worked. Ant for mac is borked, something with optional .jar tasks not being re-named correctly or something) but i'm getting a "com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail" which i googled for, and can't seem to resolve. only applicable solution is to have sshd accept password auths, did that, still got the same error.
I think what i want to accomplish was NOT worth the 2 days that i spent so far on this problem, although i learned a lot. However, i just want this to work and will not accept defeat, yet :)
My question: have you had to solve a similar problem, how did you go about it? are there any other methods i can try to solve this problem? Is there a method mentioned that should JUST _WORK_ and i did something wrong?
[edit] I have decided to go with the Jenkins standalone app, as i think (for me) this is a nicer solution in total, as my laptop is not a build server. Also, the Jenkins app can start at startup so it actually acts as a local server.
Just a quick guess: if you don't want the interactivity of the script, and the script can do without it, you can try to set the headless mode on the java command-line:
-Djava.awt.headless=true
I have decided to go with the Jenkins standalone app, as i think (for me) this is a nicer solution anyway, as my laptop is not a (headless) build server. Also, the Jenkins app can start at startup so it acts as a server too.
I'm trying to use Powershell ISE as a console app with little success. Comskip is a command line tool and I'm having a AHK script executing the Comskip commercial stipping normally through cmd.exe. Works fine, but lately I started using Unicode characters (star-rating) in the filenames and as you all know these won't display especially good in the console.
Investigation led me to Powershell ISE which is supposed to support Unicode. Running Comskip from ISE proved to be quite challenging. It works fine if typing in everything manually, but the problem starts when calling it from an another script.
Now the problematic part is if using the code calling the ordinary Powershell console it all went fine. But the same code calling the ISE fails and I can't see why. Can any of you? The error message I get doesn't give any explicit clues on what went wrong. The error message only says:
Usage: powershell_ise.exe or powershell_ise.exe fileName.ps1
The AHK line calling the ISE looks like this:
latest_file := "C:\Program\Comskip\q.ts"
Run, PowerShell_ISE.exe "C:\Program\Comskip\comskip.exe" -t --videoredo "%latest_file%"
Now if using the Powershell console the same code executes alright:
latest_file := "C:\Program\Comskip\q.ts"
Run, PowerShell.exe "C:\Program\Comskip\comskip.exe" -t --videoredo "%latest_file%"
How come I get these anomalies?
PowerShell ISE does not have ability to run commands like powershell.exe has. Reason for that is simple: ISE was designed as an interactive environment where powershell.exe had been thought out as something both for interactive and "batch" operations, like the one you tried to complete.
The error you get is IMO descriptive enough: you can only run PowerShell_ISE (no paramters) or specify .ps1 file that ISE will open once it started. In v3 there are 2 new added ( -NoProfile and -MTA) but still - nobody designed it as batch processing tool.. sorry.
