Hi,
I'm wanting to push a full system scan to all of our networked computers. We just started using Lansweeper to deploy packages. So, I'm wanting to know if there is a way to achieve this from Lansweeper. If not what are some suggestions. I have posted in the Lansweeper forums as well, so I can cover both ends.
Thanks,
John
You can easily kick this off from the SEPM console by right clicking clients and selecting
Run command on computers >> Scan
Running commands on client computers from the console
About commands that you can run on client computers
Hmm. I guess we don't have the managment console here. I just got hired on with this company, so I'm still learning our setups. The way it is set up right now, is they have been installing Symantec as unmanaged. They don't want to "hog server resources". In the past, they have always gone to each computer and started the scans after hours. I'm not digging that idea. Especially since we have 2 locations now.
Yea unfortunately unmanaged is just that...you have to configure each one separately and have no central management over clients.
Yay for me!
So do you think it would be possible to say... set a script to get symantec to run a full system scan? Worst case, I can do it caveman style at each terminal. Really, I'm more interested in the knowledge now.
checkout DoScan:

May fit somewhat
Ok my logic could be way off here.
So, first, You have a script call DoScan.exe to run. Then, have the script use the commands in the DoScan console to perform the scan. Is that a thing, or did I just make up a whole bunch of nonsense?
Yea you just need to script doscan to run a scan on the machines.
Since you're running unmanaged clients there is no way to configure a SEP client manually remotely. It all needs to be done at the GUI.
Doscan should hopefully workaround that,
Ok, so I got a vbscript to open DoScan. When I run the script it just opens a command prompt and closes quickly before I can see anything. Then nothing happens and it is not running in task manager. The only thing that happens when I actually double-click DoScan.exe is it opens a blank cmd and help window with a list of some commands. So now im assuming I need to add those commands into the script, but I'm not sure how. The command I think I want is /ScanDrive "C" I'm just not sure how to work it into the vbs. Am I close, or do I have no idea how DoScan works?
