Connecting Trend Agents to new Server Installs

As with any software, there are times when it’s necessary to uninstall, and reinstall Trend’s Worry Free Business Security suite, but does that mean you’ll need to uninstall all of the agents and push out fresh installs? While this would work, it’s not necessary.

This can be done via batch file. Once the script is written, it can ideally be put into a login script, or pushed out via Group Policy or some kind of Managed Services (Like Kaseya!)

First, you’ll need a little bit of information.

• Browse to the ser’vers OFCSCAN folder, and open ofcscan.ini


• Make note of the following information:
  
  
  
  • Master_DomainName
  
  
  • Master_DomainPort
  
  
  • Client_LocalServer_Port
  
  
  
  

The script syntax is:ipXfer.exe-s-p-m1-c

For example: \\192.168.0.10\ofcscan\Admin\Utility\IpXfer\ipxfer.exe -s 192.168.0.10 -m 1 -p 8059 -c 18277

It’s sometimes enough to simply run this, but depending on what’s going on at the end point, it may be beneficial to stop and start all the local trend services.

The batch file that I use looks like this:

NET STOP TMLISTEN
NET STOP TMPFW
NET STOP TMPROXY
NET STOP NTRTSCAN
NET STOP TMBMSERVER
NET START TMLISTEN
NET START TMPFW
NET START TMPROXY
NET START NTRTSCAN
NET START TMBMSERVER
\\192.168.0.10\ofcscan\Admin\Utility\IpXfer\ipxfer.exe -s 192.168.0.10 -m 1 -p 8059 -c 18277

After running this, give the software a couple of minutes to connect and such before beating on the refresh link in the WFBS console. Works every time (For me, so far!)

The Kaseya script I use, looks like this:

Script Name: trend agent reconnect
Script Description: \\SERVER\ofcscan\admin\utility\ipxfer\ipxfer.exe -s server.CTA.local -p 8059 -m 1 -c 16809
