VirusScan Enterprise uses MCUPDATE.EXE to perform 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.
For example,
MCUPDATE
[/<type> [/TASK <guid>]] [/option].
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].
