Check that the software audit script is valid.
Document ID : 000-000263 Created: 4/07/1999 Last changed on: 2/20/2001

The audit utilities require a software audit script. This script determines the scope of the software audit.

To check the software script:
Start the NetKeeper Express Console program
Select AUDIT from the main menu
Select SOFWARE AUDIT SCRIPT to display the audit script

The software audit script contains the commands required to audit your workstations. The software audit script is a text file. The text file is named swscript.ini. You may change the script using a text editor,not a wordprocessor (it may include control codes) or (preferably) using the Software Audit Script from the Software menu.

The default software audit script will audit all files on the boot or startup drive (usually drive c:) ending with extensions equal to EXE, BAT or COM. The default command is :

&:\*.* /s /EX=EXE /EX=BAT /EX=COM

Software Audit Command syntax examples:

Audit drive c: all files and subdirectories

c:\*.* /s

Audit drive c: all files ending in EXE

c:\*.EXE /s or..
c:\*.* /EX=EXE /s

Audit drives c: and d: all files ending in EXE, BAT and COM

c:\*.* /EX=EXE /EX=BAT /EX=COM /s

Audit all files with extensions=EXE in drive c:, subdirectory \batch

c:\batch\*.* /EX=EXE

NOTES

If the drive does not exist, the command is ignored.
Substituting & for the drive letter tells NetKeeper to audit the boot drive.

Substituting $ for the drive letter tells NetKeeper to audit the first hard drive.

Substituting % for the drive letter tells NetKeeper to audit all drives. Use this substitution carefully or you may also audit your network drives every time you audit a workstation.

/s includes all subdirectories

/EX=xxx only files with extensions = xxx

Note the /EX option will only work with 3 letter extensions. Examples:
/EX=DLL will operate correctly
/EX=EJ will not operate correctly (only two letters)

! A comment, if the exclamation point is the first and left most character on the line.
