Log4Shell Mitigation Script - python version no longer recognized?

Kara_Shindle

So I tried to run the Log4Shell Mitigation Script for ArcGIS Server on the 20th.  I ran this in cmd as Administrator.  The script ran until it got to the -delete and I then got two error messages.

The first was cmd error saying "access is denied"

The second was a windows pop-up saying" This app can't run on your PC."

 

Now, my scripts using the python path:

[Drive]\ArcGIS\Server\framework\runtime\ArcGIS\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe

I have two scheduled tasks that use this python.exe directly and both no longer work.

"could not find a usable Python Installation at the specified path. " and It gives me a bunch of stuff on the x32 & x64 bit.  This server was spun up by ESRI Jumpstart in February of 2021 and I have the appropriate versions.  

 

Why is this python.exe no longer recognizable after I had the Apache4Shell Mitigation script fail?  Everything failed directly after I tried running the mitigation script.

Edit: 

I did run in cmd as Admin

I stopped the license manager and the ArcGIS Services before running the script.

Ok - so it looks like the python.exe application was gone after I ran this script - the .exe showed a file size of 0 and didn't have the python icon anymore.  I have a development server created at the same time using the same files and Powershell script, and I ended up copying the python.exe from that server onto this one.  Worked...  Not a great solution and I still have no idea why this happened.
