    We are building a script here and want a command that starts the update procedure of NOD32. We think we should use the ecmd.exe however if I use Snipped: undocumented command removed it says command accepted but nothing happens. Does anyone know where to find the list of commands?

    Ecmd.exe does not serve for any purpose to users. There's no way to run update from the command line.

    So the only way possible to update NOD is to change the scheduler? I'm asking because our company has a special setup that was put together by one of your developers.

    Is it possible to script then that the update time changes when the software is allready installed?

    If you bought business edition licenses you can run a remote administrator server from which you can push down configuration changes to the attached client systems.

    It is a business edition but not connected to the RA server it is just a stand alone installation.

    Why not just use the scheduler?

    Because the user isn't experience to do it. We just want to script the entire thingy :)

    Well you could setup the scheduler on a computer and then export the scheduler settings from the registry to import on other computers running the command "regedit /s <filename>.reg" from a batch file. Or you could make those registry changes from a script or program you create. That way the users can be instructed to just run a single file you provide which could be a script, .exe file or whatever you prefer.
    It's also possible to export the settings from one client and import the xml on other computers. I guess that's a bit more work, but not too hard to create some simple instructions how to import the xml file for the users.
