Automation Folder File Location

[Migration User]

In the console, you can right click on an object and tell it to install the Automation Folder.  I will receive status updates that it is copying down, but it always fails for me on "Executing File".  I THINK this is my over-zealous virus scanner killing it (I say think, because it DOES kill it if i run the installer manually)

 

Where does the console copy its temporary file on the client system so it can run?  I want to whitelist that for my AV

 

thanks!

Usually the directory used is c:\windows\temp for scripts, I'm afraid I don't know for the automation folder installer.

Isn't there a log for the virus scanner?

My lab box is 3.2 at this time but I think that the pathing is the same.   

The source of my automation folder is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\AutoFolderPkgs\nameofmypackage\x64\AF_nameofmypackage.exe

On a client  (if you bring up the agent status on the client you can see the job take place includeing the paths used)
c:\windows\temp\AF_nameofmypackage.exe.

On the root of the client drive there is also a few logs files that might assist to determine if it is executing or being killed before it executes.

autoutil
autoinstx   (x being the number of times the installer has ran)   In my case it was autoinst3

Hope Andy's location and the logs can get your situation worked out.

it was c:\windows\temp

 

I was confused because I had that rule already, but when we updated Kaspersky, it ignored all custom entries on its converted policy.  I had to put that one back

 

thanks!
