Running All Available Programs on an SMS 2003 Advanced Client
Recently a customer complained that you can't run more than one advertised program at a time on a client, but they could in SMS 2.0. Here is an example VBScript that runs all available advertised programs on a client.
'rslaten 10/10/2007
'Example of how to run all available programs
'If you want to select some programs, but not all, then use C# or VB.NET to build a simple UI
'or accept parameters into this script to only run certain programs
Set UI = CreateObject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set ads = UI.GetAvailableApplications
For each o in ads
WScript.Echo "DEBUG: Program = " & o.Name
lastRunTime = o.LastRunTime
bIsMandatoryProgramPending = UI.IsMandatoryProgramPending
While bIsMandatoryProgramPending
WScript.Sleep(10000)
bIsMandatoryProgramPending = UI.IsMandatoryProgramPending
WScript.Echo "DEBUG: Program is running, sleeping"
WEnd
WScript.Echo "DEBUG: Running program: " & o.Name
UI.ExecuteProgram o.ID, o.PackageID, True
bProgramComplete = false
While Not bProgramComplete
WScript.Echo "DEBUG: Checking if " & o.Name & " has completed running..."
WScript.Sleep(10000)
Set p = UI.GetProgram(o.ID, o.PackageID)
If p.LastRunTime <> o.LastRunTime Then
WScript.Echo "DEBUG: " & o.Name & " has completed running..."
bProgramComplete = true
End If
WEnd
Next
