To operate the script, you only need to put the files on to one server or workstation. Log in to an account with local administrator rights and install the support tools and regobji.exe. Once the support tools are installed, the folder "C:\Program Files\Support Tools" will need to be added to the environment variable PATH. Once these files are installed, copy BrowseListFilter.wsc and SnareInstaller_auto_hostlist_threaded.vbs into a new folder (e.g. c: \snare) on the machine. Open a command prompt and change directory to this new folder (cd \snare). Now we can run the program to make sure that it is operating correctly. Simply type the following command to see a list of the servers that SNARE will be installed on: cscript SnareInstaller_auto_hostlist_threaded.vbs If there are any errors here, then they will need to be resolved before the script will work correctly. If not, the hard part is over! The steps above only need to be performed once. For subsequent upgrades the same machine can be used without having to reinstall the software. Now that the script is working correctly, it is time to configure the agent. The script works by analysing the agent installed on the local machine (aka the master) and then applying those settings to all the servers in the aforementioned list. Therefore, the next step is to install the desired agent (preferably the latest version) and configure it with the required settings (e.g. destination, remote control settings). Once the agent is configured correctly, stop the snare service ("net stop snare" from the command line). To test the installation of the new agent on a single server, use the following command: cscript SnareInstaller_auto_hostlist_threaded.vbs 1 testserver It is important there are two arguments here and "testserver" is the name of the target machine. Once this deployment proves successful, use the following command to push the agent across the whole network: cscript SnareInstaller_auto_hostlist_threaded.vbs go And there you have it. To install a new agent, simply upgrade the agent on the master machine and re-run the script.
