Engaged Sweeper III
Good Morning,

we currently have a problem with a few hundred hosts with incorrect or no computer description entered. We already found a working solution using psexec.exe from the sysinternals suite to accomplish it via the command line, but we would love to add it to lansweeper as a custom action. We´ve tried to add it in several attempts, but it seems that we are running against a wall.

The Command line is:
PsExec.exe \\hostname reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters /v srvcomment /d "Custom Computer Description" /f

We would love the wenn clicking the custom action, the user is asked to enter the wanted Computer Description Tag and nothing more...

Can somebody help us accomplish that?

Here is what I do, I'm sure I got it from a post here a long time ago...

I Call it "Change Description"
cmd.exe /C {actionpath}change_comp_desc.vbs {smartname}


Change_Comp_desc.vbs
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

strComputer = Wscript.Arguments.Item(0)
strDescription = Inputbox("Enter Description:")

Set Obj= GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer).InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each x In Obj
x.Description = strDescription
x.Put_
Next

WScript.Quit

Hope That Helps!
