Hello,

Is there a way to script an install/update (either with ADS or WSH) on Active Directory? I need to update the PCAnywhere host settings with a new authentification method. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi schwooba,

I think i didd't get you correctly, so let me ask you few questions.

1.Do you want to install pcA host remotely to a machine on your Active Directory? or

2.You have a host runnig in your network & you want to update its configuration settings?

And in this scenario where is WSH?

Thanks

Hi Asj,

First of all, thanks for the prompt reply.

We will actually be using both methods. We have a need to install a new host and updates current configuration settings in our AD network.

WSH (Windows Scripting Host) is installed on the network and workstations.

Hi schwooba,

As far as my understanding, i think you want to automate the process to run a new host & also to change some configuration settings.So in pcA we have provided OLE interfaces to create a new host & also to change the configurations of the existing host files.It provides APIs for writing custom programs to automate certain functions in pcA. Details about OLE automations can be found in the OLE automation guide that is there in the installation CD.

Hope this helps.
