Sophos Endpoint API or Command that Triggers to run the full scan and updating anti virus

You can trigger a scan from any of the Management Consoles (SEC or Cloud) on demand.

As for a client side initiation of an update.

Function CallUpdate()
  dim objALC : set objALC = CreateObject("ActiveLinkClient.ClientUpdate.1")
  objALC.UpdateNow 1,1
  set objALC = nothing
End Function 

Hi Azron,

Thank you for the updates. Can you provide also the code on how to perform a full scan on a machine?

Hello Alfie,

a default scan can be run with "<%ProgramFiles%|%ProgramFiles(x86)%>\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\BackgroundScanClient.exe" {F86EBCD5-687E-40B1-800D-021062361F6C}
