#142461 - 2005-06-27 09:15 PM Script to edit Mcafee Repository List
spmccain spmccain Lurker Registered: 2005-06-27 Posts: 2	I have been assigned the task of developing script that will change the repository list on the VirusScan software. We are changing servers so I need to edit the UNC path for the superDat updates to be downloaded. So far I can't find any registry entries or files with the current path saved. I was hoping I could find it then edit it with a kixtart script. Does anyone know how I can do this or what I should do?

I would look into adjusting C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network Associates\Common Framework\SiteList.xml if you do not have ePO. Caution: I have never altered this file. How did you originally establish the site list? _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

It has the ability to upgrade, downgrade, rollout DATS, Extra Dats, SDATs all from one convenient interface. You can schedule scans, updates, pull new files all automatically.

I created a package and deployed it via SMS... This would be done after modifying the sitelist.xml to reflect your new repositories...

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Does that not then assume ePO and if so, why not just deploy with ePO? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Network Associates has tools to create Repositories, Alert Managers, etc. without the use of ePolicy to tie them all together. _________________________ -- oobnuker - .KIX hack - no really.

Seriously, McAfee's solution to Enterprise AV has always seemed like a hodge-podge of mismatched parts thrown together. Now, Trend, on the other hand, always appeared to be built from the ground up as a complete Enterprise package - from ther Server down...as opposed to from the client up like McAfee. _________________________ -- oobnuker - .KIX hack - no really.
