How to suppress VB Script black screen prompt in PXE/Boot Image

Question

Hello,

We are executing a VB Script in PXE (from Boot Image) using prestart command, it does its work well, however this throws a black screen during its execution time. We don’t want this prompt to be seen by Helpdesk people during Image. We have tried suppressing it using wscript.exe /cscript.exe //Nologo switch, but no luck.

Appreciate any pointers

Thanks, Vasu

Answer 1

The parameters are incorrect. nologo and b need to be prefixed by two forward slashes:

wscript.exe //nologo //b dell_rid.vbs

Have you simply booted into WinPE and launched a command-line to perform testing?

Answer 2

Hi Jason, this is latest one actually but we tried two forward slash also for NOLOGO and B as well in different sets, still prompt appears. Yes, we load PC into WinPE and Cmd launch for testing

Just wondering as Prestart is officially supported by Microsoft and most of commands including Microsoft given examples are on VBS... I assume they might have given it a thought for black screen suppress etc :-). We are trying to check Powershell, leaving VBS behind

Answer 3

Yes, this is perfectly supported. It's just a command-line.

Without more testing on my part, I can't explain the behavior here.
