Hello,
I know you are working on Scripts.
SylinkDrop is an Excellent Tool and probably would have to understand what the Tool does behind to get it to work right for you.
In the mean time , we shall first understand, how the manual replacement of sylink.xml is working.
1) On your server 2k3 Server, go to
C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\outbox\agent
2) open a numbered folder
3) copy the sylink.xml file
4) Go to Client machine where you want to replace the Sylink.xml file to make it managed.
and
Start > Run > smc -stop
5) Go to c:\program file \symantec \symanetc endpoint protecion \
6) Place the copied sylink.xml file here.
7) Now you need to start the service by:
Start > Run > smc -start
Now, check if the local client on 2k3 has green dot and if thats reporting to new SEPM..
Indeed, you can try the SylinkRemote as well. You can download the Tool from:
