OK - I finally got around to cleaning this up.

Depending on SQL colation and settings, the NOW function wasn't working (see the comment above), so I've updated it to be a bit more picky and safe, instead of assuming everyone would have the same "default" in SQL.  The new SELECT is easier to use, or you can follow the comments above.

The drive mapping thing is really weird.  I've found that if you have Z mapped, this task fails, but if not, works like a champ, so I've taken to removing the mapping at the end.  I'm still working on why having it mapped fails.

I also found out that the copyfile line was failing, because it lacked a final \ in the destination.  That's now fixed.

NOTE:  I'm also working on collecting the DA logs that are created, but that's a bit trickier.

I found that the NOW token (that I had to create in NS) returned a value that could not be used to create the destination folder (even using the Replace command). Therefore, I added a couple of variables (FullDate and MyDate) to collect and use the time stamp using VBScript's NOW command instead of creating a NOW token in NS.

I tested this in both DS 7.1 and DS 7.5 and it worked for me.

The modified script is as follows (the changes to the original script have been highlighted):

Dim fso, f, WshShell, WshNetwork, oDrives, vMap, LogsFolder, NewFolder, Prod, Destination, AdminAcct, AdminPwd, FullDate, MyDate

'---------------------------------------------------
'
' Below are some variables you need to be aware of and customize before running this script
'
'---------------------------------------------------

AdminAcct = "YourAccount such as Example\Admin"     'Must have rights to map a drive back to NSCap
AdminPwd = "YourPassword"     'Associated password to the above account
 

' Prod may need to be changed to D or whatever your production drive is while in automation
' or run GHConfig which I don't yet know how to do here.
' Most Win7 Systems have a recovery partition, so Prod would be D: instead of C

Prod = "C:"
LogsFolder = "z:\AutomationLogs"    'Folder under NSCap to store the logs on the NS/SMP
'---------------------------------------------------
' End Customizations Section
'---------------------------------------------------

FullDate=NOW
 

MyDate=Right("0" & Month(FullDate),2) & Right("0" & Day(FullDate),2) & Year(FullDate) & "_" & Right("0" & Hour(FullDate),2) & Right("0" & Minute(FullDate),2)

'The above line, adds a zero to each part of the date, but then only uses the right two numbers.

'This ensures that each field such as the Month Day will always have two numbers.

NewFolder = "%COMPNAME%_" & MyDate
Destination = LogsFolder & "\" & NewFolder
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

vMap = "Yes"
Set oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives
  For i = 0 to oDrives.Count - 1 Step 2
    IF oDrives.Item(i) = "Z:" THEN vMap = "No"
  Next
IF vMap = "Yes" THEN WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "z:", "\\%NSSERVER%\NSCap", ,AdminAcct ,AdminPwd

If (fso.FolderExists(LogsFolder)) Then
  Else
    fso.CreateFolder(LogsFolder)
  End If
fso.CreateFolder(Destination)

On Error Resume Next
fso.Copyfolder Prod & "\Windows\Panther", Destination & "\Panther"                'MiniSetup or SOI troubleshooting
fso.copyfolder "x:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Logs", Destination         'for DS 7.1
fso.copyfolder "x:\Program Files\Symantec\Deployment\Logs", Destination & "\Logs"   'for DS 7.5
fso.copyfile "x:\ghosterr.txt", Destination                                       'Ghost troubleshooting

Haven't had a chance to try it anyway.  Ended up viewing it in Firefox, and it does wrap.  In IE 10, it doesn't wrap.  Thanks for checking back.

were you able to make this work?  I did not see your post - terribly sorry.  The text actually wraps when I look at it.  If you're not seeing it wrap, maybe try a different browser - like IE?  Maybe the community has some limitations for browser support.  Again, on my screen, it wraps.

I had to make a few fixes to the article after testing in a few "new" environments.  Hope it helps.  I changed the NS server token, added a note about a possible known issue I need feedback on, and included the SQL for one of the tokens.
