I actually just rolled out the agent to all of our coputers Monday morning. While I didn't do any checking on the OS (I'm loading on all Windows OSes), I've added a statement to my code to check for 95/98/2000Pro. This should do the trick:

code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If @ProductType="Windows 95" or @ProductType="Windows 98" or @ProductType="Windows 2000 Professional"
$=ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator\Agent", "Installed Path")
If ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator\Agent", "Installed Path")="" or @error<>0
SHELL "C:\Lscript\Poaginst.exe /s C:\EPOagent"
EndIf
Endif

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I prefer to look at the registry to ensure that the program is properly installed and not have to be concerned with what folder it is installed in. This script checks to see if you're using one of the OSes that you want to check for. It then checks the registry to see if the agent is already installed. If not, it installs it from a library called C:\LSCRIPT to a library called C:\EPOAgent.

There is no reason to create a log file, since this information can all be accessed through the ePolicy Orchestrator console.

I've been using ePolicy Orchestrator on our servers for about 3 months. I would never go back to using scripts to update them. Now that I'm using it for desktops as well, I'll never go back to using scripts to roll out updates and upgrades. This program is so powerful I can't believe that everyone isn't using it.

Hehe, great advertising for it [Smile]
Its apparently as I have just found out, what we also will be using very soon.
This will help a lot.
As to yourself Vin,
Trust me, Kix is worth learning, it can pretty much do anything, Obviously the larger the procedure the more complicated the script. I myself tend to go simple, but if you are stuck the script freaks on here (sorry guys) can probably help you do pretty much anything.

ntdoc, I just HAD to reply on your post...

the comment:

ePolicy Orchestrator is the first and only truly scalable tool for managing and enforcing anti-virus
protection and policies.

is in no way correct. maybe for the ppl that have never heard of F-Secure it sounds right but I'll not buy it.

cheers,

Welcome back VIN,

Top Poster says to say hi...

Lonkero, that was not my statement, but from the NAI site. I said it looks like a rip-off of another product from Symantec.

Just a quick question...

Is the ePOAgent specific to the type of OS you have? What I mean is: will the same install package work on Windows 95,NT,2000, etc?

Either I didn't read these posts very well, or I'm not really following where the trouble is with adding the agent to the logon script...

I have been testing eP0 for deployment for the past couple months (the project is on hold right now due to political considerations). To this point, I have assumed that the agent would be "pushed" to Windows NT/2000/XP and sent to Windows 95 via logon script (using @INWIN to determine if the machine has Windows 95 on it).

Is this the best way, or is one better?

(On that note, I will search for SMS client install instructions and post a new topic if I can't find what I need....)

Brian

Brian, I'm testing the latest version (2.x) of the EPOAgent as well and I haven't had any problems installing the same agent exe on Win 9x or WinNT based machines.
