Here is what I used and it works fine
 
NET USE Q: \\Domaincontroller\NETLOGON
Q:\SYLINKDROP -SILENT -p "myuninstall password" Q:\SYLINK.XML
NET USE Q: /DELETE
If you do not use and uninstall password just leave out the -p.  I then copied the sylinkdrop.exe to the netlogon folder and added this to my login scripts.

Thanks that makes sense for client pc's, but I need to get it out to 500 servers where no one logs on for long periods of time.

Hi Dale,
 
You can use the tool Sylinkremote to roll out sylink.xml file on the machines in your network.
 
The bad thing is that the tool doesn't support Windows 2003 64 bit servers.
 
Incae you need that tool, let me know your PM.
 
You can use this tool with the help of Migration and deployment wizard in SEPM.

Hi erbarcelos,
 
Check your email, I already send it to you.
 
Further, i think in gmail.com, it doesn't allow .exe files.
 
If you didn't recieve the email, send me your alternate email address, i'll be happy to send the same.
 
rgrds,
SAM

I have used PSTOOLS http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx to run the sylinkdrop on distance and it works perfect
example of the script:
 
set computer=W02388-1
copy SylinkDrop.exe \\%computer%\c$
copy Sylink_Firewalled.xml \\%computer%\c$
psexec \\%computer% c:\SylinkDrop.exe -silent c:\Sylink_Firewalled.xml
pause
 
Regards
Jan
nb offcourse you're credentials on the receiving computer must be sufficient

Sylinkdrop

 I used a script that I created by exporting the domain computers as an input file for a psexec routine.  You can see it in detail here:

Sylinkdrop, smc

the following will do the same as Sylinkdrop (this has been posted on another forum (SylinkDrop Tool) by Sandeep.P)
smc -stop
copy required "Sylink.xml" to "C:\program files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection"
smc -start

This has worked for e.g. moving clients from one site farm to another.

I have been doing several tests with this and Sylindrop. I am finding that after running it a few times on the same client it stops working. I cannot figure out why. Can anyone help? We have MR3 clients and SEPMs.
We need a reliable tool to move clients e.g. in a DR situation and this Sylinkdrop approach looks more complicated than it at first appears.
