Here is my userexit.vbs


Function UserExit(sType, sWhen, sDetail, bSkip)
 oLogging.CreateEntry "entered UserExit ", LogTypeInfo
     UserExit = Success
End Function

Function setmodelalias()
 oLogging.CreateEntry "Entered UserExit Function 'setmodelalias'", LogTypeInfo\
 On Error Resume Next
 model = oEnvironment.item("Model")
 Select Case model
  Case "646557u","6463WA7","6463W9P"
   setmodelalias = "t61"
   ologging.createentry = "userexit - setmodelalias has been set to " & setmodelalias,logtypeinfo
  Case "20077JU","1953DAU","1953D7U"
   setmodelalias = "t60"
   ologging.createentry = "userexit - setmodelalias has been set to " & setmodelalias,logtypeinfo
  Case "1859BAU","18595RU","1859B9U"
   setmodelalias = "r52"
   ologging.createentry = "userexit - setmodelalias has been set to " & setmodelalias,logtypeinfo

  Case Else
   setmodelalias = model
   ologging.createentry = "userexit - setmodelalias has not been changed " & model ,logtypeinfo
 End Select
 On Error goto 0
End Function


Function GetWDSServerName()
 oLogging.CreateEntry "Entered UserExit Function 'GetWDSServerName'", LogTypeInfo
     On Error Resume Next
 oShell.run "wpeutil updatebootinfo", 1, True
 sWDSServerName = oShell.RegRead("HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\PEBootServerName")
     sWDSServerName = Left(sWDSServerName, InStr(sWDSServerName ,".")-1)
     oLogging.CreateEntry "WDSServerName = " & sWDSServerName, LogTypeInfo
 oLogging.CreateEntry "Exiting UserExit Function 'GetWDSServerName'", LogTypeInfo
     GetWDSServerName = sWDSServerName
 On Error goto 0
End Function

Thanks for any input

I am getting an error in the bdd.log file

unable to parse user exit script

Any ideas what this means.  I'm not getting very far with google.

Looking at the source code for ZTIGather.wsf, this error message seems to come from line 1835. This means that it has already found and read the file, but when it tries to perform a call to ExecuteGlobal on it, it fails.

Was there more info in that error message? ZTIGather.wsf should be outputing something like:
ERROR raised in User Exit: error description (error number)

It's most likely some kind of syntax error or typo.

I notice that in your "setmodelalias()" function, on the first line of the function it shows it ending with "LogTypeInfo\", should this have the backslash? Or is this just an artifact of the forum.. This could be your problem.

Cheers.

I had some problems getting the whole error to paste and stay in the message. It would show up in the edit box and then be gone when I posted the message. But yes the "logtypeinfo\" was one of several syntax related problems. That was one of those that no matter how long I stared at the script it just wasn't popping out at me so thank you very much for your help.

It is working great now.
