  • Really helpful. Thanks a lot. - tomlockbart 11 years ago
  • Is there an updated version of this list? I am looking for a user variable - thewruck 7 years ago
  • Hello thewruck, Looks like these have not changed since I created this blog. To find a list of variables, go to scripting, open a script, and click the blue question mark box next to Tasks. This will list the current variables. - KACE_Mary 7 years ago
  • Are there any variables for things like date and time? - ondrar 7 years ago
  • Calling $(KBOX_SYS_DIR) c:\windows\system32 is silly since the Kace client is 32 bit. - jszabo 6 years ago
