I have just installed Splunk on Windows 2008R2 and wish to collect Netflow data - installed Netflow Integrator.
When attempting to configure "Netflow Integrator Server Configuration" I get an error just below "Netflow Integrator Server Status" and just above the 3 icons for Start, Stop and Restart
Error
'cscript' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
No helpful errors generated that I can find. Server has been restarted more than once, no difference.
Any ideas?

Cscript.exe is a command-line version of the Windows Script Host that provides command-line options for setting script properties. Please check that you have it here %systemroot%\system32\cscript.exe.
Then make sure the “NetFlow Integrator” user (Splunk user) has access rights to run it.
If you require any additional assistance, please submit a request at:

I have created another machine with fewer restrictions and resolved this problem. Will have to spend some time to work out why additional security restrictions on server have broken the execution of cscript.exe when all appears to be in order.

Thanks for that.
Environment variables appear correct -
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
Running in a non AD windows server, logged in a local admin
Confirmed that cscript.exe has read & execute permission for Splunk user
Will pursue the permissions angle
