I use this as a batchfile.....works well....you have to enter the password when you run it and it requires a reboot of the machine...

Hi,

unfortunately we can't offer support for writing custom action scripts.

If default actions like "Open C$" don't work, could you send us a screenshot of the error message on your screen.

Note: Actions are being executed on your Lansweeper server. In order to execute a script on a target machine, you need to create a deployment package and deploy it to the target computer.
