#14998 - 2001-12-07 05:20 PM Script not working over Dialup
Anonymous
Unregistered


I have a script which updates McAfee's engine, to do this I first have to create the site from which the local computer obtains the setup files. If I run this script over a DSL VPN connection or on my LAN, it works with no problem at all. Everytime I run over a Dialup connection, the script performs the registry hacks correctly but the "Site" does not show up in the McAfee scheduler. Because of this, the Upgrade fails with the message "...There is no site configured for upgrade operation."

If I manually create the site but enter in some incorrect information, my script will correct the information and upgrade with no problems at all.

Here is the exact script I am trying to run:

$McInstallDir = ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion","szInstallDir")
$McUpgradePath = ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1\","szUNCLocation")
;$UpgradePath = ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Update\Update Site1","szUNCLocation")

If ($McUpgradePath = "") OR ($McUpgradePath <> "\\server\itapps\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate")
;SHELL "%comspec% /c regedit /s I:\distribution\virus\mcafeeupdatescripts\McAfeeEngineRegistry.reg" ; /s disables any pop up windows from appearing on the users computer

cd $McInstallDir
SHELL "%comspec% /c mcupdate.exe /task upgrade"
sleep 20 ; Time for McAfee VirusScan to reinitialize itself before trying to perform a DatUpdate
EndIF

Oh, these are all NT 4.0/W2K workstations and the user is a local admin to the machine. Drive letter "I" is mapped by the batch file calling this script and each machine is running McAfee 4.5 SP1.

Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated!!

Fudd,

Have you thought about copying the scripts to the client machines and then running them from the client and not over to the server?

Just a thought.

Dear,

We have take also a look at it. Special attention takes te way you try to
upgrade with f.e. RUN command.
Your code:

code:

 $mcinstalldir=ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion","szInstallDir")
 $mcupgradepath=ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1\","szUNCLocation")
 ;$UpgradePath=ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Update\Update Site1","szUNCLocation")
 IF ($mcupgradepath = "") OR ($mcupgradepath <> "\\server\itapps\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate")
       ;SHELL "%comspec% /c regedit /s I:\distribution\virus\mcafeeupdatescripts\McAfeeEngineRegistry.reg" ; /s disables any pop up windows from appearing on the users computer
       ADDKEY ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "bAnonymousLogin", "1", "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "bProxy", "0", "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "bRebootSystem", "0" , "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "bRetrieveOnly", "0" , "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "bSiteEnabled", "1" , "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "bStoreAfter", "0" , "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "dwInternetAcessType", "0" , "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1", "dwProxyPort", "0" , "REG_DWORD")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szFTPLocation","","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szftpPassword","","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szftpUserName","","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szProxy","","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szSiteName","Philips","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szStoreFolder","","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szUNCLocation","\\server\itapps\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","szUpgradeCMD","","REG_SZ")
       WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\Shared Components\McUpdate\CurrentVersion\Upgrade\Upgrade Site1","uUpdateFrom","1","REG_DWORD")
 ENDIF
 IF exist("I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\*eng.exe") ; Only need to rename and extract once
       DEL "I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\setup.exe"
       SHELL "%comspec% /c rename I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\*eng.exe setup.exe"
       RUN "I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\setup.exe /e I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\extracted" ; /e extracts the executable EndIf
       SLEEP 30 ; time for Extraction to complete
 ENDIF
 IF COMPAREFILETIMES("I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\extracted\mcscan32.dll","c:\Program Files\common files\network associates\virusscan engine\4.0.xx\mcscan32.dll") = 1; Downloaded file is newer than current file on the computer, proceed
       CD $mcinstalldir
       SHELL "%comspec% /c mcupdate.exe /task upgrade"
       SLEEP 20 ; Time for McAfee VirusScan to reinitialize itself before trying to perform a DatUpdate
 ENDIF

The part we should change to:
code:

 IF exist("I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\*eng.exe") ; Only need to rename and extract once
       DEL   "I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\setup.exe"
       SHELL "%comspec% /c rename   I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\*eng.exe  setup.exe"
       RUN   "%comspec% /c start /w I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\setup.exe /e I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\extracted" ; /e extracts the executable
 ENDIF
 IF COMPAREFILETIMES("I:\distribution\virus\updates\engineupdate\extracted\mcscan32.dll","c:\Program Files\common files\network associates\virusscan engine\4.0.xx\mcscan32.dll") = 1; Downloaded file is newer than current file on the computer, proceed
       CD    $mcinstalldir
       SHELL "%comspec% /c start /w mcupdate.exe /task upgrade"
       SLEEP 20 ; Time for McAfee VirusScan to reinitialize itself before trying to perform a DatUpdate
 ENDIF

Also possible to copy first the setup.exe file to your TEMP directory and do
the extraction on your client before running the upgrade fom your client.
With the start /w call your script will wait for completion of all
processes (father & child) before it will continu.
greetings.
