Update task command-line options

VirusScan Enterprise uses

MCUPDATE.EXE

to perform update tasks. You can use the same

executable command MCUPDATE from the command line, or as part of a batch file, to run update

tasks.

The

MCUPDATE

syntax does not require any specific order in its elements, except that you

cannot separate a property and its value. The syntax consists of:

File name — The name of the executable file:

MCUPDATE.EXE

.
Options The option is preceded by a forward slash (/) character and is not case-sensitive.

The command format is:

MCUPDATE [/<type> [/TASK <guid>]] [/option].
NOTE: In the previous format, <type> can be ROLLBACKDATS or UPDATE.
The /TASK clause is optional. If you use it however, you must also specify an update task ID

(guid). The task ID you select must be for an update or a rollback DATs task. Do not select to

scan ID. If you do not specify a task ID, the default update task is used. Task IDs are located

at: hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection\Tasks\

The /option clause is not required. To perform a silent update task, use /QUIET.
NOTE: The /QUIET option is not supported for use with the rollback DATs task. This example

performs a silent update task: MCUPDATE /UPDATE /QUIET.
