Has anyone done something with SteadyState and SEP11?
The most important part is update script for the SEP11 to be included in SS image.

Add the below text to SoftwareUpdates.XML  above the statement "</softwareupdates>" at the bottom of the file. You can find this file in XML directory for steadystate 2.5.

 

  <software
    id="SymantecEP11"
    name="Symantec Endpoint Protection 11"
    detectionPath="SOFTWARE\Symantec\InstalledApps"
    detectionName="SAV Install Directory"
    append="SescLU.exe"
    script="SCTSymantecEndpointUpdate.vbs"
    category="Anti-Virus"  />

 

 

Then create this script file named "SCTSymantecEndpointUpdate.vbs" with the text below and save in the scripts dirctory for steadystate. Restart your machine after doing this and you will see Endpoint listed as a security program in SteadyState.

 

' ~~~ Force variables to be declared
' ~~~
Option Explicit

' ~~~
' ~~~ Turn on error handling
' ~~~
On Error Resume Next

' ~~~
' ~~~ Declare global variables
' ~~~
Dim sNortonPath, oShell, strComputer, oWMIService, ColProcesses

' ~~~ Create objects
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' ~~~ Set application path
sNortonPath = oshell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\LUALL.EXE\")

'~~~ Download Virus Signature
call oShell.Run("""" & sNortonPath & """" & " -s", 0, True)

' ~~~ Wait 5 minutes
WScript.Sleep (300000)

Does this work?

Has anyone successfully deployed/tested this?  What about future versions... will the script require changes?

Yes, it works!

I have just run a test of the Windows Steady State new custom scripts for SEP11 and it works!
The above sample code is proven working on TL045 Lenovo pc at Teaching Lab 2 for our Metropolitan College in Malaysia with no problem.

Awesome Script....

Just embedded into my XML and Scripts within Steady State.   WSS now recognizes the updates.
Just ran it on a Dell GX270 with windows XP in a Kiosk Setup.

Thanks ....

Tested and Working

This code works on an XP computer that is in a VM in our test network. If you have any doubt, you can follow the paths of the registry keys to make sure LUALL.exe and SescLU.exe are where the script says that they should be located.
