Just out of interest Malcolm, how do you update the source SMS directory so
that it actually includes the application update in the silent install?
I've changed the contents of the SMS\SpntShare directory but it still
insists on installing the original source >:-<

My understanding is on the Trend server itself you have an install folder
for the client machines. You can manually update the engine pattern etc on
this server and then run your silently scripted install against this. We
only update the source every 12 months or so as the pattern updates and
engine updates work very well on client machines anyway. We rebuild boxes
every week using scripted install against old media and the updates happen
relatively quickly. (before the box makes it to production)

Hi Andrew,
Trend has a utility called IMGSetup.exe that you need to run after imaging
so it can be seen. Check you disk or the trend site.

Can I ask two Quick questions of those that are using Trend's Serverprotect
on the citrix servers?
First, how are you ensuring that a new build gets the latest software at
build time? I would have thought that the Trend InstallPoint server would
automatically update its SMS directory - but that doesn't seem to be the
case :( So it appears that when a servers built it has to wait for the
normal update cycle to kick in - is that right?
Also, I've got a quarterly patch to apply - the destructions says to install
it on the InstallPoint and it will magically be deployed to the servers. But
the patch gets round a W2k3SP1 issue which seems to be preventing the hotfix
patching process. Again - has anyone come across this before? I can get
round the problem by creating a task to stop the trend services, install the
contents hotfix directory and start the services again but it seems a bit
'gludgey' :?
tia for any advice you can give.
