Safeguard v5.5 to 6.0 - running SFC (System File Checker) tool

jb111

I understand once Safeguard has been installed, chkdsk should be only be run with the following switches: /F /V /X

Does anyone know if it's safe to run System File Checker?  The command looks like this: sfc /scannow  We are trying to add service pack 1 to a couple Windows 7 machines and they appear to have corrupt system files.

Thanks

PS - Off topic but also wanted to mention: I recently discovered we can do System restore when Safeguard is installed - did not think this was possible

    Hi jb111,

    running System File Checker on a SafeGuard Enterprise protected machine should not be a problem. Running SFC with the /scannow parameter should trigger the Windows Ressource Protection scan and repair damaged system files if neccessary.

    Just did a quick test with a SafeGuard Enterprise 6.00.1 Client (Device Encrpytion, Data Exchange, File Share and Cloud Storage modules installed and actively used) - verification went to 100% and resource protection did not find any integrity violations. No impact on the SafeGuard Client.

    Regards,

    Chris
