Displaying text string in CMD file

[MrBaker89]

Hello Guys, 

 

I have a CMD file setup to run a powewrshell script when the user logs on to map network drives.

 

-Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser Unrestricted" >> "%TEMP%\StartupLog.txt" 2>&1 

-File "%SystemDrive%\Scripts\MapDrives.ps1" >> "%TEMP%\StartupLog.txt" 2>&1

 

I would like to add text at the start to warn the user not to close this window and then add text to the bottom once complete

 

Can I use the ECHO function or do I need to use something else?

Just out of curiosity, why not simply run the script from the DC

You could also put the text in separate text files and say something like

 

COPY filename  CON 

 

con being the name for CONSOLE, the command window... but you'll see at the end of the text the message "1 file(s) copied", which is outputted by the copy command

You can hide that message by redirecting the output of copy command to NUL device (the text continues to be sent to command prompt)

 

COPY filename CON >NUL

 

and if you don't want the commands to be echoed back to to user you can say

 

@echo off
