XPSP2 Push
Using Landesk to push XPSP2 via the HKLM runonce. When the user boots down/up and logs in XPSP2 starts to install but takes up to a hour to install. Prior to Landesk XPSP2 was being installed via cd in about 20mins. Not sure if this could be the reason but when installing via cd we disable McAfee's On Demand Scan. If that is the case then how would I disable it when using HKLM runonce to install xpsp2?

Are many nodes doing the same thing at the same time ? I found it easier to put Service Packs on a CDROM with a Kixtart Script that installs the patches automatically and not put a burdeon on the LAN. Yes, if you have many coomputers it takes time. However, all you need is a multiple CDs and a team. since it it scripted, there is nor user intervention and the end, the PC is auto-rebooted. Put the CDROM in, run the scrript, go to next PC. At the end, go to the reboted PCs and remove the CD. BTW: Part of the script copies the SP2 installer from the CD to the hard disk, stops the McAfee VirusScan NT Services and then runs the SP2 installer. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

XPSP2 Push
Landesk is able to: push the package/unpack and add the reg entry to HKLM runonce. The actual pushing of the package seems not to be the issue rather the On Demand McAfee Scan when booting up......How were you able to stop/disable the McAfee Scan?

McAfee should NOT perform a "On Demand" scan at boot up. I inserted the following KiXtart script snippet to turn off the the McAfee "On Access" scanner. ;McAfee v4.5 SP1 ;----------------------------------------------------------- if exist ("c:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\*.*")=1 shell "%comspec% /c net stop mcshield nul" shell "%comspec% /c net stop AVSynMgr nul" endif ;Mcafee v7.1E and v8.0i ;----------------------------------------------------------- if exist ("C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\*.*")=1 shell "%comspec% /c net stop McAfeeFramework nul" shell "%comspec% /c net stop McTaskManager nul" shell "%comspec% /c net stop McShield nul" endif At the end of the script the PC would be rebooted. Note that in the script not only was SP2 installed but the c:\i386 folder was slip-streamed to SP2 level as well. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

However, the script can be converted to VBS. I prefer KiX Scripts :-) -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |
