VirusScan Enterprise uses
MCUPDATE.EXE to perform update tasks. You can use the same
executable command
MCUPDATE from the command line, or as part of a
batch file, to run update tasks.
The
MCUPDATE syntax does not require any specific order in its
elements, except that you cannot separate a property and its value. The syntax
consists of:
- File name — The
name of the executable file:
MCUPDATE.EXE.
- Options — The
option is preceded by a forward slash (/) character and is not case-sensitive.
The command format is:
MCUPDATE [/<type> [/TASK <guid>]]
[/option].
Note: In the previous format,
<type> can be ROLLBACKDATS or UPDATE.
The
/TASK clause is optional. If you use it however,
you must also specify an update task ID (guid). The task ID you select must be
for an update or a rollback DATs task. Do not select to scan ID. If you do not
specify a task ID, the default update task is used. Task IDs are located at:
hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection\Tasks\
The
/option clause is not required. To perform a
silent update task, use
/QUIET.
Note: The
/QUIET option is not supported for use with
the rollback DATs task. This example performs a silent update task:
MCUPDATE /UPDATE /QUIET.
