  • 1.  Intelligent Updater - how to "skip" the question to execute

    Posted Mar 12, 2010 02:47 PM

    I need to execute Intelligent Updater in some computers.
    Normally when executing it a new window appears asking if you really want to execute the update, and waiting a response (Yes or No) from the user to continue the execution.
     I would like to know how to "skip" that question to execute the update.
    I have to write a script or something like that. So if there is a parameter to set the response to "Yes" it  would be fine.
    Thanks a lot.

      Enable inbox on the clients and then you will just need to drop jdb on the client

    to enable Inbox

      create a registry value on the SEP client called "TPMState" underHKLM\Software\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SMC. 
      TPMState = 0x80

    In a command window, type in [intelligent updater file name].exe /? for a list of command line options.

    Hope this helps,

    What happens when you try to run it in silent mode (/q) on the client ?

    You want to run in remote?
    You can try the /q command   it works without prompt.
    c:\> 20100314-003-v5i32.exe  /q

    If you want to do this remotely, you can use PSExec, to execute the intellgent update install file.

    PSTools (PSExec is in this zip):
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx

    Create a batch file, and run the batch.

    Something like this should do the trick:
    REM ******* Updating <HOST> ********
    copy 20100314-003-v5i32.exe \\<host>\C$\windows\temp
    ECHO Updating <HOST> virus def files, Please wait...
    c:\psexec \\<host> c:\windows\temp\20100314-003-v5i32.exe /q
    del \\<host>\C$\windows\temp\20100314-003-v5i32.exe

    Simple, but it may save you some time if you have a few computers to update.

    Thank you! I have just tested and the option /q works!
