Niffy VBS for deploying Forefront without MOM
Found this on the Ms technet forums after hacking up a batch script to do the same sort of thing.
******************************************************************
‘ Purpose: Launches install of Forefront client in
‘ standalone mode
‘*****************************************************************
Option Explicit
Dim WshShell
Dim MsgVar1
Dim MsgVar2
MsgVar1 = “Install Forefront Security”
MsgVar2 = “Install Microsoft Forefront?” & VbCrLf & VbCrLf _
& “If Yes then please wait for end of job message.”
If MsgBox(MsgVar2, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, MsgVar1) = vbNo Then WScript.Quit
Set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.Run “CLIENTSETUP.EXE /nomom”, 0, True
MsgVar2 = “Forefront installation has completed.”
MsgBox MsgVar2, vbInformation + vbOKOnly, MsgVar1
Set WshShell = nothing
My hacked batch script doesn’t use the clientsetup.exe, just the .msi files including the lastest virus definations pulled down from the Ms Catalog site. Worked for me and fits nicely on a small usb thumb drive.
