  • 1.  Need Assistance with Move Client Utility

    Posted Apr 30, 2015 06:58 AM

    I have used this utility before 4 years. But I totally have forgot in using it. Requesting help from someone who will be able to provide assistance to me.

     

    We have a huge junk in Default Group. I have categorized based on host names to which group do they need to be moved. Here is the requirement:

    2 Computers - Computer A & Computer B

    Domain - Default

    =================================================================

    Move Client VBS:

    Dim DBUser : DBUser = "dba"
    Dim DBPass : DBPass = "symantec"
    Dim TempGroupName : TempGroupName = "Default Group"

    =================================================================

    Source Path: My Company\Default

    Destination Path: My Company\Test

    Can someone help me in using the sript to move from Default Group to Test Group.

    I tried with the below links but I couldn't accomplish:

    Sample-SwitchClientGroups.txt  included with the tool which provides detailed examples. You may use this to base your directives upon.

    It should be as simple as:

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

    Create a Hostgroups.txt file with the below contents:

    Computer A,Test
    Computer B,Test

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

    Update the moveclient.vbs script with your company's DB creds, and make sure it looks at the "Default Group" only by making sure the line below says "True" (this assumes you leave the TempGroupName as you posted in your OP):

    Dim OnlyCheckClientsInTempGroup : OnlyCheckClientsInTempGroup = True

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

    Place both files on the SEPM and run it on the SEPM.

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

    That is pretty much it.  Obviously lots of other optins available regarding nested groups, domains, the ability for it to search the entire group structure for machines and not just the "TempGroup", but the above should get you (re)started :)
