running tasks (ie VBScript) prior to 'Protect Computers' rollout

IK

Hiya,

I've tried to search the board for this, but not found anything.

Is there a way to run tasks before having the Sophos installed? For instance, I need to disable Simple File Sharing on machines before roll out, and since the site is remote (400 miles away) i can't run past every client.

I have a VBS that would do this for me, but I am not sure where this is to be configured.

If it is just a matter of prepping the environment even before kicking off Protect Computers, that'b be fine too, but I like to bundle tasks and automate as much as i can (also for new PC's that come on board)

Thanks!

    Hi Christian,


    Assuming you're talking about scripting the disable of SFS:

    strComputer = "."

Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\control\lsa"

strValueName = "forceguest"

dwValue = 0

oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue

MsgBox "SFS Turned off"

Set StdOut = Nothing
Set oReg = Nothing
