Script Description

Returns the health status of at most 2 batteries installed on the laptop, in terms of capacity that it can still hold. Useful for identifying the batteries to be replaced and optimize the power settings of the devices.

Execution context and suggested scheduling

Run the script as 'local system'. The script should be executed manually.

A timeout of 120 seconds is recommended.

Parameters

None.

Outputs

Label	Type	Description
Battery1 Health	Ratio	Health ratio for battery 1, expressed as a percentage
Battery1 Designed Capacity	Int	Initial capacity of battery 1, in milliamp hour (mAh)
Battery2 Health	Ratio	Health ratio for battery 2, expressed as a percentage
Battery2 Designed Capacity	Int	Initial capacity of battery 2, in milliamp hour (mAh)

Test Scenarios

Disk Cleanup

4.1.0.0 - Campaigns now can be called independently
4.0.0.0 - Added support for a Chatbot to execute script without campaign
3.0.1.0 - Recycle bin cleaning is done similarly for Windows 7 and 10
3.0.0.0 - Fixed issue affecting deep cleanup. Added input parameter 'RemoveFilesOlderThanDays' and 'MaximumDelayInSeconds'
2.0.0.0 - Added campaign to notify about completion of cleanup. Code refactoring. Removed Windows 8.1 support
1.0.0.0 - Initial release

Script Description

An assisted-help campaign is triggered to perform a light (recycle bin) or a deep (recycle bin and user temporary files) clean.In order to run a silent execution, campaign can be skipped by providing an empty GUID as input DiskCleanupCampaignId. In such case, CleanupLevel determines how cleanup will be processed.

Execution context and suggested scheduling

Run the script as 'interactive user'. The script should be executed manually.

A timeout of 720 seconds is recommended.

Parameters

Label	Description
Disk Cleanup Campaign Id	UID of the campaign to allow the user select which cleanup process will be done. Provide an empty GUID to avoid executing this campaign
Cleanup Completed Campaign Id	UID of the campaign to notify the user about the finish of the cleanup process. Provide an empty GUID to avoid executing this campaign
Remove Files Older Than Days	Files accessed less recently than this threshold will be deleted. Provide number of days
Maximum Delay In Seconds	Maximum random delay set to avoid overloading server hosting virtual machines. Provide number of seconds less than 600
Cleanup Level	Cleanup level to support Chatbot solution. Relevant only in case empty guid is provided in DiskCleanupCampaignId parameter. Accepted values are [Light/Deep], by default Light is applied

Outputs

Label	Type	Description
Cleanup Space	Size	Space freed

Further Information

All files inside user temporary folder whose last access time is older than 'RemoveFilesOlderThanDays' input parameter, will be removed if deep cleanup option is selected in the campaign. Please note that LastAccessTime could be disabled by default in NTFS. If so, LastWriteTime will be used instead. Parameter 'MaximumDelayInSeconds' can be used to add random script execution delay. It should be used in virtualized environments to spread over time number of I/O requests on server hosting virtual machines.
