Forefront Client Security Deployment Tool

After a lot of work, I am very pleased to finally announce the release of "Forefront Client Security Deployment Tool". FCS Deployment Tool is a free toolkit provides additional deployment capabilities in addition to those which are available with the RTM Version of FCS . This tool gives network and security administrators the ability to scan their network and/or AD, discover existing installed Anti-Virus solutions (currently supporting Mcafee, Symantec and Trend-Micro) that are already installed on their clients, uninstall existing AV solution and install FCS Client – all in one.

Nothing much to add, just that the Downloads of the Complete Toolkit and the User Guide are available at Codeplex via of the following link:

Always appreciate any feedback.

Dear All

Thanks to the very useful tool specially that it removes the existing AV without the need to go to each individual machine and uninstall it

but i really have problem with Installing the MOM

so i was hoping to find anyway that deploy the package with the command      

clientsetup.exe /NOMOM

VIA the Deployment tool

Thanks in Advance

Hey, utility works great! One small problem with the Symantec v10 uninstall reg entry, you missed the \SOFTWARE\ hive...

Current:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security]

"UseVPUninstallPassword"=dword:0

Should be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security]

"UseVPUninstallPassword"=dword:0

Simple fix.

I cannot seem to find the paths of x32 & x64 FCS client installation files that are pre-requisites for FCS deployment tool.  Can anyone tell me where I need to look for?

A bug found when trying to uninstall symantec10. The uninstall script is called with quotes around the parameters and the execute of msiexec is submitting '/x {%3}' makes an invalid PRODUCTGUID {"..."} instead of {...}

Fix this by either replace %3 with %~3 or use a temporary environment variable to substitute the "-characters

msiexec /qn /x {%~3} /l symantec_log.txt >> log.txt

-or-

set PRODUCTGUID=%3

set PRODUCTGUID=%PRODUCTGUID:"=%

msiexec /qn /x {%PRODUCTGUID%} /l symantec_log.txt >> log.txt

Importing of reg-files is treated as security issue and fires UAC in Vista. Silent execution of regedit can also be restricted with GPO.

Replace 'regedit /s uninstall.reg' with the following command

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusPRotect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security /v UseVPUninstallPassword /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Problem with uninstalling McAfee SiteAdvisor because no PRODUCTGUID was submitted to mcafee\uninstall.bat

When trying to manual force msiexec to use the GUID found in registry's Uninstall hierarchy, it returned 1605 (This action is only valid for products that are currently installed)

When trying to let uninstall.bat execute the value of UninstallString from registry, it returned another error code, propably caused by it couldn't initialize McAfee's uninstall wizard.

Atlast I downloaded McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool and added it to be run in mcafee\uninstall.bat

download.mcafee.com/.../MCPR.exe

Hello Yaniv,

Congratulations for all your work, and also for the MVP Award!

I really appreciate your creations including the FCS Deployment tool that i've been using for about 4-5 months.

Since i don't know when i have a problem with the tool.

I receive this error when deploying from any workstation/server to any machine:

I changed everything, even the share i am installing from and still nothing!

Can you please give me a reply how to solve this?

Here is the error code:
