Engine Upgrades

I need to know if there is a way to tell if an engine update has been performed for example updating from 2.5 to 2.7. I want to be able to check for the change and have the server reboot at a time that suits me. I have 150 Nod Mirror / File servers and don't want them rebooting when they feel like it. I've looked through the registry and filesystem but cannot find anthing that says its changed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

 

Check the file version of the ps_nod32.dll file in the installation directory. That's how I do it. You can write a VBscript to check the version at every login if you'd like.

Here is the script

-John

Code:

'
' n32ver.vbs
' -John Taylor
' 09-26-2007
'
' From the cmd prompt run:
' cscript n32ver.vbs [computer-name]
' 
' and this script will return the version number of ps_nod32.dll on
' the remote machine, and thus the version of Nod32 that is installed.
'

If Wscript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then
	Set obj_net = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
	comp = obj_net.ComputerName
	fname = "c:\Program Files\Eset\ps_nod32.dll"
else
	comp = Wscript.Arguments(0)
	fname = "\\" & comp & "\c$\Program Files\Eset\ps_nod32.dll"
end if

Set obj_fso = CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemObject")
Set obj_file = obj_fso.Getfile( fname )

dllname = obj_file.name
vers = obj_fso.getfileversion(fname)
Wscript.Echo comp & vbTab & dllname & vbTab & vers
' end of script

 

reflux,

You may also be interested in this thread:
"HOWTO: Add Client Version to Remote Admin"
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=184712

It uses an older method to determine the client version that is not as good as the script above. However, you can swap out the above vbs script for the batch file contained in the zip file mentioned in the above thread.

Sorry for the late delay, I've been a little busy.

Thanks I will check them out.
