Trend upgrade via remote access

[John]

Hi

Is it possible to upgrade trend wf 3.6 to wf 6.0 remotely?

Thanks

Regards

Yes using RDP
Assuming it's SBS2003
However I've found it's easier to REMOVE the Clients first in 3.6
from the web console
(They often need re installed anyway.)

Then put
\\server\ofcscan\autopcc.exe
in the SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.Bat
login script

When they Login again it reinstalls Trend (Assuming they have admin rights.)
If not I just remote from the Server to each PC with the Domain admin
then use
shutdown -r -f -t 0 from each PC to restart it
(Then all PC's have the Trend Installed)

Takes a while but you can do it all Remotely
PS Check how much SPACE you have on C: Drive before upgrade you may want to
uninstall it completely and move it to another drive (The extra Features in
6.0 add some bulk to it.)

You can either Hope the Update applies on the clients
(About 80% effective in my experience)

or First Remove the Client Piece (From the Trend Console)
and then put in the Login Script
Like I said in my previous post.

If you are unsure what I said.
Just do an Upgrade
and when people complain and says Trend keeps saying I need to upgrade
(Then Deal with the individual PC and un install and re install trend on
that )

You can also push out client installs from the console - you just have
to provide the admin credentials (I *think* domain admin but I don't
recall)

Well you can try. (yes it is domain Admin creds)

I've had better luck just putting it in the login script on SBS2003.
(Besides if the PC is OFF then you get it at next login.)

Yes I'm lazy :)
