Creating Batch File

[MikeH]

I am trying to create a batch file that will execute a program. This program will run on my Windows 10 pc. But when I made the batch file and try to run it I get a "This app can't run on your pc" error. Any ideas how I can run this program? FYI This program I'm trying to automatically run will run on any windows pc.

I think it must be a security issue considering it's a batch file I am trying to run.

Hmmm.... So you want some help coding but do not want to provide the code you are using?

Have you tried runas administrator?

Check the event logs from the time the job was supposed to run.

The user account that you are running the task as may need to be granted the privilege to run as a batch job:

Further, there is a 'History' tab on the properties of the scheduled task - what errors or return code is given when the task fails to execute?

LOL, Coding? NOT. My code is "Start c:\d7II\d7II.exe"
I'll explain what I'm trying to do. First I am using Max Focus. I am putting together a service with managed antivirus, computer checks Web protection, etc. Right now I have no business clients. So I wanted to put something together for the residential customer. I also have D7II. One thing I was concerned about in offering this to residential customers was the amount of spyware, toolbar cleanup and so fourth. I made a profile in D7II with simple malware type of scans and cleanup. I was trying to make a script of batch file, add it to max focus to execute on a predifined schedule.
Somehow the D7II executable I had on my desktop was changed and would not run. Compatibility issue. I deleted it and replaced it. Runs fine. The batch file runs fine. When I run the .exe from max focus dashboard nothing happens.

I would not want clients having access to my D7II. I prefer to just have a layered security approach. For residential we do Managed Bitdefender/Unchecky/Google Chrome/uBlock Origin. So far it's worked quite well for us. The only thing that needs to be automated is the MAV scans, which is super easy via your RMM dashboard.

Ok, much clearer. I've not used Max Focus so can't help there. I agree with @Slaters Kustum Machines, I don't think I'd want to leave D7II on their machine. Not sure but I don't think that @FoolishTech's intention was for it to be run in an unsupervised, remote environment. Maybe PM him to see what he thinks.

Dsupportsuite from my understanding is better suited for what you want.
