As the SEP RU6MP1 released, there are some new features of the DoScan.exe. There are more options for the DoScan.exe on RU6MP1. The screenshot below shows the options on SEP RU5:

And, the newest help and options of DoScan.exe on RU6MP1 shows as below:

Here are the mainly 5 options and their usage:

1) DoScan.exe /ScanName "Weekly Scheduled Scan"
   - Only one scan is allowed to pass in as of now. The name of a local scan or admin scan can be passed in as a parameter.
   - Scan options are the same as from the named scan in the command line.
 
2) DoScan.exe /List
   - Lists all the admin and local scans present in the system.
   - Attaches to the same console if launched from a console or creates a new console to display the output if launched from a Windows GUI.
Notes:
Before run the command 'DoScan.exe /ScanName "Weekly Scheduled Scan', you need to run the 'DoScan.exe /List' to find out what scan name can be used. Below is the example of the 'DoScan.exe /List':

 

3) DoScan.exe /ScanDrive "A-C,E,V-S,Z"
   - You can leave spaces in between drive letters but the entire string should be within quotes. This example will scan drives A, B, C, E, S, T, U, V, Z. 
   - Scan options will be taken from the default quick scan options.
 
4) DoScan.exe /ScanDir "%WinDir%\System32" /ScanDir "%Temp%" /ScanDir "C:\Test"
   - Multiple directories can be passed in with multiple /ScanDir switches.
   - Relative paths or Environment strings are permitted in the path. Internally these will be converted to fully qualified names.
   - Scan options will be taken from the default quick scan options.
 
5) DoScan.exe /ScanFile "C:\Test.log" /ScanFile "%WinDir%\Notepad.exe"
   - Same as the /ScanDir switch. Multiple filenames can be passed with multiple /ScanFile switches.
   - Relative paths or Environment strings are permitted in the path. Internally these will be converted to fully qualified names.
   - Scan options will be taken from the default quick scan options.

Log file...

While it appears that specifying a log file has been pulled from this version of DoScan...it should be noted that a "Log File" is created in the default location referenced by the RU5 DoScan Help screenshot above.

A single Log File is created for each "Day" DoScan is run. For example, I've run DoScan about 8 times today and there is a single Log File in the location referenced above. The file is named "08262010.log" and it contains the information for all the DoScan's I've run today.

DoScan.exe not wait for terminating in a script shell

When I have upgraded from MRU 5 I can't use anymore DoScan from line command. I had a batch script which wait for /SCANALLDRIVE before proceding with next command (shutdown). My command was "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\DoScan.exe" /cmdlinescan /SCANALLDRIVES /LOGFILE="C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Sym_Log.log"

Now LOGFILE is not an option (ok).
In MRU 5 DoScan.exe remained active until the end of scan but now anymore, and PC go to shutdown before scan ends.
I'm wrong or there is another command to reach my goal? I want script wait for DoScan.exe terminating, because it's a part of a weekend maintenance script for my clients.
