Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3 Bundles
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11 Bundles

Situation

Bundles with a Run Script Bundle action in the Launch tab may fail. If multiple lines are present in the script, ZCM may interpret them as one line causing the script to fail or not return the results expected.

Example:

The following script:

echo %prompt%
echo %programfiles%
echo %os%
echo %computername%


will run as:

echo %prompt% echo %programfiles% echo %os% echo %computername%
