Hi Arnold, that's quite strange. Can you paste here your dcdiag output? Btw this is one command "DCdiag.exe /S:DC /TEST:fsmocheck | find "test FsmoCheck" | find /v "failed". Basicly what does it do is to find "test FsmoCheck" line within the output and then it will try to search for "failed" word on the same line (or you can swap it for passed one). Regarding the result (true or false) it will output 0 or 1 errorlevel. Rgds, Petr

It doesn’t work. It always returns -1. No matter what I check. Regards, Arnold From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Petr Bohac Sent: dinsdag 16 september 2008 08:51 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Capture external output Try the following command: DCdiag.exe /S:DC /TEST:fsmocheck | find "test FsmoCheck" | find /v "failed" regarding the result you will get errorlevel 0 or 1. You can test it in command prompt running the command and then type echo %errorlevel%. Then just make a batch file. I think it should work in salive though I didn't test it.

I run this command: DCdiag.exe /S:mydc /TEST:fsmocheck /F:C:\LOG\FSMO.log and want to know if the log contains the string “passed test FsmoCheck” or “passed failed FsmoCheck” Are there any SA customers who are doing this test already and/or is there another way? Are there any COM examples? Regards, Arnold From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Sent: donderdag 11 september 2008 09:21 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Capture external output If the output is send as errorlevel (that it would only be a number) then SA can get that back via the EXTERNAL ERRORLEVEL check. If "string" output needs to be returned to Servers Alive then you will have to create a COM check for this. Dirk Bulinckx.

I mean, I can for example execute “DCdiag.exe /S:mydc /TEST:kccevent” that displays the result on screen or in a log but can I sent the output through SA.
