  • 1.  logon script for endpoint

    Posted Mar 27, 2009 09:17 AM

    Is there a way like Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.x has to install the endpoint client with a logon script?
    I checked around and don't see anything on this.

    Or is there a way to check a computer in a domain when a user logs on to see if symantec endpoint is installed and if its not to install symantec endpoint.
    Symantec av has this.  Can you do something similar with endpoint?

    Hi,

    The sep clients can be installed via group policy objects. When the users login, a logon script can be run to install the SEP client.

    This method is used  if you have a major deployment required, for example 2000 + machines to be installed. You can find the details of this method in the installation giode that comes with the product.

    Cheers,
    Aniket

    If you absolutely want to install it via a script, you would need to ensure the user(s) have the right to install software on the machine.

    You could install it via GPO, however, if it is already installed from a different method, you might end up with 2 installs or other problems.  MSI packages create their own registration keys in the Registry.  Alternatively, you could deploy from the SEPM manager itself.

    @Echo off

    If EXIST c:\symantec (
    IF EXIST c:\symantec\rtvstart.exe GOTO END
    )
    IF NOT EXIST c:\symantec\rtvstart.exe GOTO MAP


    :MAP
    net use [drice letter]: \\[server and share of install package MSI] /PERSISTENT:NO

    goto INSTALL

    :INSTALL

    msiexec /quiet /I "[mapped drive from above]\[install package MSI]" INSTALLDIR=c:\symantec

    goto END

    :END
    Exit

    ***********************

    Something like that can work from a batch file or being called from or added to a Logon script.  Probably be integrated into Kixstart or Scriptlogic if you use those...
