SOLVED Env variable not getting created with Script in SCCM

[leo815]

Hi team,

I am currently working on a software prerequisites deployment and I have a following script that doesn't create the user environment variable but creates the C:\Scratch folder. I have even tried replacing the first line in the script with setx VALUE KEY but still doesn't work. I can get setx and [System.Environment] power shell command to work directly on the PC but need it to deploy via script as I want to create this environment variable and create c:\scratch folder in one hit.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('VALUE,'KEY',[System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
$f1 = "C:\SCRATCH"
New-Item $f1 -Type Directory
$rule=new-object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule ("BUILTIN\Users","FullControl","ContainerInherit,ObjectInherit","None","Allow")
$FolderACL = Get-ACL -Path $f1
$FolderACL.SetAccessRule($rule)
Set-ACL -Path $f1 -AclObject $FolderACL

How exactly are you deploying this? Did you test your script using the local system account? are you deploying to to the user or the device?

“What is the local system account?” “What privileges does the local system account have?” “What’s the difference between the ‘site server computer account’ and the ‘local system account’?” “How can I utilize the local system account?” These are questions that come up from time to time. Fear not...

I am deploying script via SCCM script.
I have tested the following 2 scripts separately and they work on their own but when I combine it with the C:\scratch folder, only the scratch folder gets created but not the environment variable.
1) [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('VALUE,'KEY',[System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
2) setx VALUE KEY

This is now resolved by running the following command

setx LICENSE_PATH LICENSENUMBER /M

Thanks team.
