Here's a WiseScript I wrote to help out with the chore of installing updates to the Novell Client. To install the Client updates silently, acu.txt must be configured and the setupnw.exe runs with the /acu /acu.txt parameters.

To use the script, rename it to .wse and compile it with WiseScript for Notification Server.

Here's a very useful WiseScript you can use to install the Novell GroupWise client. One of the things the script does is validates whether or not GW is already installed before continuing.

Seventy Five Percent of my users are remotely connected through VPN and work on production when connected, so reboots, service packs, and production app upgrades are all tricky to handle.

If you are not comfortable using the self reg table in Wise for registering DLLs, here's a WiseScript that can register the set of DLLs in the application. Better yet, the WiseScript can be used in a custom action.

Support and development personnel are now mainly using virtual platforms for their test environments.

GPartEd is a very handy tool which will allow you to resize your virtual HDD as well as physical ones.

This is a tool created with WiseScript that asks for the ItemGuid you are trying to locate within the Altiris Console, the SQL Server name, the database name and the version of SQL that the NS is using.

When you want to know what an MSI contains or if you want to just extract a single file from a single MSI you usually open a cmd and type something like "msiexec /a name.msi".

Here's a script (written in WiseScript) that checks to see if OSQL exists on a PC. If the script finds OSQL, it retrieves file pathname.

The script can be used to find OSQL and to run SQL statements using the OSQL engine.
