    Virus Updates - No Internet Connection
    « on: August 20, 2008, 05:10:15 AM »
    I  have a Windows PC which cannot be connected to the internet.  I have installed Symantec Anti Virus 10.1.5.5000 and want to install VD updates which I have downloaded from another machine which can be connected to the internet.

    The new virus definitions are on a CD and I have written the following batch file to enable the files to be copied into the appropriate directory.

    copy x:\ *.* c:\Docume~1\alluse~1\applic~1\symantec\symant~1\7.5\

    (x= drive letter of CD drive)

    It doesn't work!  Any suggestions

    Can't you just copy the files manually?

      I had thought that but I want to pass the CD around 30 non-networked work stations whose users have restricted permissions. 

      I want to avoid manual transfer because it will mean that I have to log in myself to 30 workstations as administrator to do it.

      Well, I have to admit that I'm not really much use when it comes to batch scripting.  For something like this, you'd be better off asking in our MS-DOS section...

      Out of curiosity...why can't the computer(s) connect to the internet?  Was it disabled by an infection?  If you are having virus issues, we can give you a hand...

      Of course, you will have to download the programs and transfer them via CD or flashdrive, and because you want to do this with a batch file, I must refer you again to the MS-DOS section.  Really, the only issue I can think of is that perhaps you need to use the exact file path (i.e. Documents and Settings instead of Docume~1).
