IR5 - The Official Windows 7 Rearm Solution

Isn't there an option to use system, like /rl system or something like that. I'm almost shure there is cause I also made a batch once that created tasks. With system permission I thought the task even runs without any users logged on, so when just the logonscreen is showing the task will still run.

 

Try the following code, I convert the group id to name and use the /ru switch.

Code:

for /f "tokens=4 delims==, " %%A in ('"wmic /Namespace:\\root\cimv2 path Win32_AccountSID|find "S-1-5-32-545""') do ( set cname=%%A )
schtasks /create /tn "Rearm" /tr "'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe' /c cscript.exe /b C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs /rearm && 'C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe' -r -t 90 -c 'Please save your work. Windows will reboot in 90 seconds'" /sc daily /mo 30 /ru %cname% /rl "highest" /f
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 echo Run this batch file as Administrator

@ Stannieman

Using SYSTEM makes the process invisible to the user, we need to display a warning that Windows is going to reboot. That is why we are using the Users group which will run interactively.

 

It is /ru SYSTEM and it will run in background if a user is logged on with a normal user account.

 

The XML file is fine, noticed you have unchecked power options.

 

It creates the task

 

@ hell tourist

Can you try this code.

 

It stops with bad syntax.

 

Thank you for your feedback

@timesurfer

You can prune some of the unneeded code in 1.bat

For the first Line how about "Click OK to restart your PC and do the following steps"

 

No, you can keep the XML file. I'll provide you a new batch file.

 

You have disabled the trigger in the task.

In the XML file set Enabled to true just below StartBoundary

 

Why are you actually using batch files? Isn't it better to use a real exe program? You can add a lot more error handling then, things like if it rearms then check whether windows is still in trail, and when it's out of trail a popup can come up to let the user know the pc needs another reboot to get things in place again etc. You can even let the user chose what the time between rearms should be, where the exe that does the rearm job is placed and which name it has etc.

 

I see, but why is it neccessary to press F8 on reboot? Anyway, I started to make a simular program some time ago but stopped development, I'll pm all the files to you if you want. It isn't finished, but I think the installer was nearly completed, the rearm exe still needs more work. It's a vb.net 2008 project

 

The easier way to know when the grace period expires is slmgr /xpr
