Administering via command line

FormerMember
FormerMember

Hello Community,

I got a customer who has the following queries:

>>>>>

I am looking for command line administration instead of the GUI.

We are looking for linux or windows core installation as the platform to remove unnecessary services.
Hence, we want the command lines to administer things like
1. Identify computers and its respective IP in the network that is unmanaged/manage
2. force installation of AV agent on computer in the network
3. check version of dat for computers in the network
>>>>>
 
Is this achievable?
Any suggestion is much appreciated.

    Hi, 

    I don't think I really understand the question but I'll make some suggestions....

    You have a SEC management server on another server which is managing a number of clients. You're are now installing another server with the sole purpose of being able to do management tasks on the command line?

    1. If you assume that the management server is importing computers from AD on a scheduled, e.g. ADSync. Then you have these records in the SEC database.  Although Auto-Protect may be enabled you want a command line check to see if this is happening?

    Is a SQL command sufficient?

    sqlcmd -E -S server\sophos -d sophos40 -Q "select name from computerlistdata2 where ......" etc...

    2. A tool/batch file that wraps a psexec command to run setup.exe (from the correct distribution point) on remote computers?

    3. Same sort of thing as point 1?

    Or, are you saying there is no management server, i.e. SEC, these computers are running Sophos unmanaged, i.e. no RMS, they are just standalone installations and you wish to introduce a core server to manage them, e.g. remote WMI commands to interrogate the computers to get information?

    Regards,

    Jak
