Each
system
has
a
configuration
of
repositories
to
check.
It
might
be
appropriate
for
the
IT
administrator
to
divide
the
population
of
systems
into
groups
and
assign
different
repositories
(network
shares)
to
each
group.
For
example,
systems
might
be
grouped
geographically
by
proximity
to
a
file
server.
Or,
systems
could
be
grouped
by
function,
such
as
engineering,
sales,
or
support.
Antidote
Delivery
Manager
and
Windows
commands
The
Antidote
Delivery
Manager
system
provides
several
commands
to
facilitate
the
operation
of
the
system.
In
addition
to
the
command
to
create
messages
and
adjust
settings,
there
are
commands
to
control
networking,
determine
and
control
operating
system
state,
examine
XML
files
from
system
inventories,
and
notify
the
user
of
progress
of
the
Antidote
Delivery
Manager
script
on
the
client
machine.
The
NETWK
command
enables
or
disables
networking
or
restricts
networking
to
a
limited
group
of
network
addresses.
The
INRR
command
can
be
used
to
determine
if
the
Windows
2000,
Windows
XP
or
Windows
Vista
is
running
or
if
the
computer
is
in
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
environment.
The
REBOOT
command
can
be
used
to
shut
down
the
computer
and
specify
that
it
should
boot
either
to
Windows
200,
Windows
XP
or
Windows
Vista
or
to
Rescue
and
Recovery.
The
MSGBOX
application
allows
for
communication
with
the
user
by
displaying
a
message
in
a
pop-up
box.
The
message
box
can
optionally
contain
OK
and
Cancel
buttons
so
the
message
can
act
differently
based
on
input
from
the
user.
Certain
Microsoft
commands
are
also
available
to
Antidote
Delivery
Manager.
The
permitted
commands
include
all
commands
built
into
command
shell,
for
example
DIR
or
CD.
Other
useful
commands,
such
as
reg.exe
to
change
the
registry
and
chkdsk.exe
to
verify
disk
integrity,
are
available.
Antidote
Delivery
Manager
utilization
The
Antidote
Delivery
Manager
system
can
be
used
to
complete
a
wide
variety
of
tasks.
The
following
examples
demonstrate
how
the
system
might
be
used.
v
Simple
system
test
-
Display
notification
The
most
basic
use
of
the
system
is
to
display
a
single
message
to
the
user.
The
easiest
way
to
run
this
test
and
also
test
other
scripts
before
deployment
is
to
place
the
message
in
a
repository
that
is
a
local
directory
on
the
administrators
personal
computer.
This
placement
allows
rapid
testing
of
the
script
with
no
impact
to
other
machines.
v
Script
preparation
and
packaging
Write
a
go.rrs
script
on
any
machine
where
Antidote
Delivery
Manager
has
been
installed.
Include
a
line:
MSGBOX
/MSG
“Hello
World”
/OK
.
Run
the
APKGMSG
command
on
the
directory
containing
go.rrs
to
create
a
message.
v
Script
execution
Place
the
message
file
in
one
of
the
repository
directories
on
your
machine
and
observe
correct
operation.
When
the
agent
runs
next,
a
message
box
displays
with
the
“Hello
World”
text.
Such
a
script
is
also
a
good
way
to
test
network
repositories
and
to
demonstrate
features,
such
as
the
checking
of
repositories
on
resume
from
suspend
mode.
Major
worm
attack
This
example
demonstrates
one
possible
approach
to
combat
a
major
virus.
The
basic
approach
is
to
turn
off
networking,
then
reboot
to
Rescue
and
Recovery,
retrieve
fixes,
perform
repairs,
then
boot
back
to
Windows
XP,
install
patches,
and
