    Hi guys, I am having the same issue..

    Should the script be calling WSCRIPT or CSCRIPT in the package or
    not.. tried both ways and nothing gets rolled out as a VBS. When I do the
    script
    manually on the 20 test machines that were targeted for deployment it works,
    just does not work via SMS. We also have a LANDesk test environment and the
    package for this did work .. with any vbs..
    any ideas. Can I get the steps posted if you did 6000 machines It should work
    for 5000 or less.. what could I be missing ? I don't get any erros and log
    entries
    thanks so much..
