Run commands before and after a job
Carrying out commands before and/or after a job can allow you to stop certain Windows services and then restart them
again afterwards. If you’re using O&O DiskImage on a Microsoft Exchange or SQL-Server, you could stop these services
beforehand, create the image and then have them automatically start again once the imaging is done. You no
longer need to create a script to do this.
Before Job
If you select this option, the commands entered in the text field will be carried out before the job begins. You can also
import existing command files so that their contents will be shown in the text field. Just click on Import select the file in
the dialog (.BAT, .CMD or .TXT). Confirm with OK.
Note: Please make sure that all commands exist and are able be carried out on the target computer. All commands
will be carried out under the SYSTEM User and his permissions.
After Job
If you select this option, the commands entered in the text field will be carried out when the job is completed. Entry and
application is similar to the command instructions in “Before Job”.
Note: Please make sure that all commands exist and are able be carried out on the target computer. All commands
will be carried out under the SYSTEM User and his permissions.
