So, my goal for the day was to create a little batch file which would do all of the basic cleanup for our loaner laptops for a quicker turn-around when we get them back in the IT department.
Most of it is working (deleting documents, desktop, etc; resetting desktop links, scanning for viruses, etc), but of all things, I am having difficulty with Disk Cleanup. My code is essentially:
import reg DiskCleanupSettings.reg
cleanmgr /sagerun:1
On another device I ran cleanmgr /sageset:1 and made my selections, then exported the registry settings. This then imports those settings to the laptop, and runs them.
The issue I am running into is that when I run the script as administrator (which is needed for other parts of the script) it will scan for the file cleanup, but then do nothing. If I just run the bat as a normal user, most of the rest of the script
fails, but this part will scan and clean up the files as expected.
Question is 2-fold:
1)Why is this behaving this way? I would love to understand it.
2) Other than creating a 2nd script to run as a normal user, is there a way to run one command with different rights so it runs correctly?
