SYMPTOMS

If you use a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) advertisement to run Clitravl.exe to set or modify Travel mode on SMS clients, the advertisement return a "failed" status even if Clitravl.exe runs successfully.

CAUSE

Clitravl.exe returns error code 1 even if it runs successfully. You can confirm this by verifying that the Travel mode properties are selected on the clients and that the advertisement status is "failed."

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior and to cause the correct status to be returned, you can run Clitravl.exe from a batch file to detect and set the return status. This is a sample batch file:

clitravl.exe /TRAVEL=ON
if errorlevel 1 exit 0

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Clitravl.exe returns 1 if Travel mode was already on or was just turned on.
Clitravl.exe returns 0 if Travel mode was already turned off or was just turned off.
