Question about SAVconf.xml

Ra

Hi,

I want to manage my PCs without Enterprise Console 4 and use only the Update Manager to create the CIDs. Then I want to configure the PCs with SAUconf.xml and SAVconf.xml (Using ExportConfig.exe and ConfiCID.exe). Nearly everything works fine.

But what I don't understand is the following: If someone change the configuration of the VirusScaner on a PC (e.g. turn off scans on file read) the configuration is not overwritten by SAVconf.xml from the CID.

What I found so far: If I change the SAVconf.xml and run ConfiCID.exe again for the CID the configuration is of the PC is updated (e.g. scans on file read are enabled again).

Does that mean that the SAVconf.xml is only applied once? Is it only applied when the file changes (checksum based)?

Maybe someone can explain how it works.

Thank You and best regards

    Hello Ra,

    I expect that SAVconf.xml is processed (and applied) when SAV is "installed" (i.e. the AutoUpdate log says Installing Product SAVXP). This happens whenever "something" has changed in the CID's savxp subfolder. Editing SAVconf.xml and running ConfigCID is a change but an added or modified identity is also.

    You can either wait for an authoritative answer or simply give it a try (as updates are issued almost every day it shouldn't take too long to find out).

    Hello,

    after some more testing it seems to work like this:

    Everything is checksum based. If the SAVconf.xml file is unchanged it will never be applied again on clients. So the local virus configuration could be changed and will never be overwritten by the settings from SAVconf.xml.

    Workaround/Hack:

    Append an XML-comment  to the SAVconf.xml with e.g. the date (e.g. <!-- 20100815 --> ). Then run "ConfigCID.exe CID_PATH". Then the settings are applied again on the client PCs.

    Any comments on this?
