Hi all,

I have written a custom vbscript which will call IE to get object. The script success get object and show on prtg. Only problem is that it would kill after the script completed.

We tried IE.quit but find it only work when user run it. IE.terminate is not work on vbs. If the script run by SYSTEM, then it would not work. Is anyone can share the experience for how VBS kill IE process opened by SYSTEM user? Thank you.

Hi cheukieli,

It's also possible to run the script as another user. This can be defined in the settings of the EXE/Script Sensor. The corresponding setting is called "Security Context".

Hi,

I tested the following script and everything worked in the latest PRTG version:

Dim IE
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = 0
IE.navigate "https://google.com"
IE.Quit
Wscript.Echo "211:Quit_success"
