  • 1.  Install SEP with a big number (Batch)

    Posted May 07, 2014 09:15 AM

    Hi,

    I need to install SEP with a big number using a (Batch) and it would be great if it can set to exact time.

    Thanks

    It's possible with scripting. Create the package and put it on a share (DFSR) and have the script pull the install down to the clients. I haven't seen any good scripts on here to do it though.

    I'd personally recommend taking a look at the SEP Integration Component for scheduled deployment of SEP en-masse using Altiris:

    #EDIT#

    Best part is that in being licensed for SEP, you automatically have the right to use this tool.  No additional license cost is involved

    If you're stuck on the scripting side of things, have you considered writing a GPO batch to copy down the installer, and create a scheduled task to perform the actual install?

    quick example:

    xcopy \\networklocation\setup.exe %TEMP%

    schtasks /create /tn InstallSEP /tr %temp%\setup.exe /sc once /st 20:00:00 /sd 05/31/2014 /ru "System"

    As I mentioned though, I'd still recommend going with the SEP Integration component if I were you.
