Script i can send to others to run SFC /Scannow and save results

questorfla · 06 Mar 2018

I often have to walk people through this over the phone. You would think it isn't that hard but many people today have never even seen a CMD box. I would like to come up with a script that would:
open a cmd window as admin
run SFC /scannow
and finally create the list of problems and repairs to send me. The below works for that.
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\SendTechsfcdetails.txt

I could probably even automate the end using 'ipmnote' but if they can't handle emailing me the results...
This is really for Users who can only run things by clicking an icon of which i have a few
I have tried a few utilities that i have used before for running a batch as admin but they dont seem to work for sfc /scannow.
Thanks

Hi, you could use Autohotkey to create a script including
Run *RunAs cmd.exe /c sfc /scannow

Launching the ahk file gives a UAC prompt and the scan starts.

You can compile the ahk with 1 rt click to produce an exe file.
