How to run Repair on SEP 11 from command line in XP and Vista form the client side.

  • 1.  How to run Repair on SEP 11 from command line in XP and Vista form the client side.

    Good morning. I know you can stop and start SEP with SMC -stop and SMC -start. I want to know if you can repair the SEp install from command line?

    I am needing the equivalent of Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Vista) -> Right Click on Symantec Endpoint and select Repair.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, Sandip. Do you know of going through add/remove programs, right-clicking and selecting repair is doing a v, or some other option?

    This looks like what I needed, I will most definately try it out. Thanks!
