Using AT command with %systemroot% variable

[eggohead]

Hello,

I am having some touble using %systemroot% or %windir% in an AT command to schedule a remote software installation. It works fine if use a static maping such as the c:\winnt\sytem32 or d:\winnt\sytem32. I would like to use these variables as some machines have different windows directories. Can this be done, Do I have the wrong syntax? - thanks for your time

This will not launch:

at \\REMOTECOMPUTER 12:25 %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\msiexec.exe /i "\\REMOTESHARE\Microsoft Apps\visio.msi" /qn

The static drive mapping below works fine:

at \\REMOTECOMPUTER 12:25 e:\winnt\system32\msiexec.exe /i "\\REMOTESHARE\Microsoft Apps\visio.msi" /qn

I am curious how the envionmental variable expansion would work. It may be expanding the variable and reflecting the computer on which the command is run, rather than the remote computer.

I suspect you can drop the pathing completely, as %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32 is going to be in the Path already:

at \\REMOTECOMPUTER 12:25 msiexec.exe /i "\\REMOTESHARE\Microsoft Apps\visio.msi" /qn
