Client Management Suite

Hi, We have remote users who will conect to the Lan through checkpoint. I was wondering if it would be possible for a script to kick off on the remote PC when they connect. Is there any way to configure the agent to do this ?

Joe.

Not sure this is possible but what would the script need to do?

Just create a policy with a single schedule in the past executing a "run script" task should do it.

Apply this policiy to your remote clients (probably a dynamic filter, maybe IP based).

for some reasons remote users who haven't been in the office seem to keep losing their drive mappings. Was thinking of putting a script to just remap the drives..

Joe.

We have the same issue in our environment that we've solved by placing the script on the desktop for users to reconnect the drives themselves.  Our current version Cisco vpn allows for preauthentication so that Windows connects after the vpn and maps normally.

That being said, a startup script won't work because the machine has already been started when the connection is made.  The suggested task with a date in the past would run once but not reoccur.

Does your checkpoint or client offer any ability to run a script upon connection?

Yep, thats what i understood on "kick off script when first connects". Later on i got he means "kick off script first, when connects" :)

If its Windows 7 you could configure a windows scheduled task in the os with a trigger (f.e. anything in the eventlog).

Yeah - If we can't solve by any other means we'll just stick a script file on the desktop and get them to run it when connected through. Checkpoint does have an SDL (secure domain login) option which I just came across. May give that a go.

cheers
Joe.
