It reads the configuration defined on the network and performs the required action for each workstation. NETAGENT is usually run from the network Login Script each time a workstation logs into the network. If no login script exists for your network, run NETAGENT from a batch file that loads the network drivers. This will ensure that workstations are maintained each time they access the network. Syntax: NETAGENT /RUN /G=NetGroupName /RUN is an optional parameter. If used, the Scheduler will run any scheduled events that are waiting to run. /G= is an optional parameter used to specify a group other than the Default group. NetGroupName is the name given to a particular network group. This name is defined in the Group Edit Window. Examples: NETAGENT 'Uses Default group settings to update the Anti-virus and Scheduler settings. Maintains Software Titles defined for the Default Group. The Scheduler is not run but its workstation settings are updated. NETAGENT /RUN 'Same as above but also runs the Scheduler. NETAGENT /G=CAD 'Similar to the first example, but settings for the CAD group are used. NETAGENT /RUN /G=CAD 'Same as above but also runs the Scheduler. .TOPIC: Using Help Selecting a Help link: ---------------------- With a mouse - click on phrases outlined by two triangles.
