Dat level scan of all clients 1

[bentley45]

I use Virusscan Enterprise 7.1 with no EPO. How can I scan all workstation clients on my network and see what their current DAT level is?
Thanks.

it would take a bit of work, but you could create a script to check the value of this key on each workstation.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Enterprise\CurrentVersion\szVirDefVer

(should probably check szEngineVer too.)

Sadly I have no script to offer.

Or you could get ePO

run a report in EPO called Dat Definition Deployment Summary

Doh!!

Doh!! Xavier2,

I said in my post that I did not HAVE Epo.

ahh, my fault for not being able to read, I'm a moron as most of you all can tell....

Doh!!

 

[Windexx]

Use reg query against the registry key holding virus def. Throw it into a for loop. You can further refine the output but this is just a down and dirty example...normal disclaimer Use at own risk

just a quick example **barely tested**!

:ut all machines in text file one on each line called c:\machines.txt

for /f %%a in (c:\machines.txt) do (call :step1 %%a)
goto :eof
:step1
set machine=%1
if "%machine%"=="" goto eof
echo ----------------------------- >> c:\log.txt
echo %machine% >> c:\log.txt
reg query "\\%machine%\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Enterprise\CurrentVersion" /v szVirDefVer >> c:\log.txt
goto eof
:eof

We are using GFI Languard and I am unable to get it to show me what systems are at a lower DAT level than they should be. Is there a way to modify this script so I can send it out with LANguard and it will put the registry value for DAT level as well as the machine name? I don't have a way of getting a list of all machine names that I am sure is up to date. Thanks for your help.

It's been a long time since I played with Languard. It would take some time for me to read up on it again. I can't promise anything but if I get the time I can look. Won't be for the next couple days or so.

This is to Windexx, I am trying your script and it is crashing at /f with the Windows script host error Expected identifier, code 800A03F2.
I don't use visual basic that much so any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I used the script I just put it all in a batch file and it runs great.

In the past I created a batch file that went out and did a directory on the DAT file of each machine, the batch file created a TXT file with the date of the dat file. Using Windows search I was able to break them down by version number.
