Sample Run​

Sample Run

Dependencies​

The machine must be a Windows-based device; otherwise, the script will fail.

Variables​

  • @psout@ - The result from the PowerShell Script
  • @SFCLog@ - The contents of the SFC scan log file
  • @SFCScanReport@ - This variable includes error information

Process​

This script will stop the Windows Update service and clear some folders to ensure there is space to run the SFC scan and store the output. The CWA script will execute a PowerShell command that runs SFC /Scannow and ensures that the output log file is in UTF-8 format, allowing Automate to read the log file. Automate will wait until the command completes and then evaluate the results.

  1. If the command output does not find any issues, the script will jump to the "AllGood" label and exit successfully.
  2. If the command output contains "unable to fix," the script will jump to the "CreateTicket" label and create a ticket.
  3. If the command output contains "found corrupt," the script will jump to the "CreateTicket" label and create a ticket.
  4. If the command output contains "successfully repaired," the script will jump to the "Repaired" label and exit successfully.
  5. If the script is unable to process the log file, it will jump to the "ErrorReadFile" label and create a ticket with the relevant information.

Output​

  • Script log messages
  • Tickets
