Autoload and run on reboot

Post by volfan »

I am new to SC, so please forgive me and point me to the right topic if this has already been addressed. I find the need when using SC for virus scanning to reboot the remote computer. Is there a way to make SC automatically load and run on the reboot so I can continue to work on the computer? It would be nice for me to not have to have the person on the other end have to sit there and wait for me in case I need to reboot. Is there a batch file someone has created, or some other way of doing this? Please advise. Thanks!

The only reason i have not maded a reboot SC in my apps are becuase i dont want to play with anyones boot files. It can easly messup a clients machine.

There are other options.

Place a [DIRECT SC on the computer and edit the registery under the RUNONCE section to run the file and location of the file (Lookup google)

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"

Of course this will not work if the computer has a login and password, Someone will still need to login for it to work. (I could write a program in autoit to overcome this but again. (I am way to busy with 3 other projects to look into this.) Thats what autoit can do.

For thise who want to restart the computer in safe mode with networking run the "msconfig" from run and select the options there.
Select BOOT.INI and select safemore + networking

This should startup in safemode.
Once in safemode and done you need to change the SAFEMODE msconfig back to normal else it keeps it in that mode.

I am not one to go for this option, Note it is untested so i dont know if it will work. Use this information at your own risk and i recon test it on a local computer before you try a clients machine.

Secondly since mostly clients are at their computers when you work on then, best solustion is to restart the computer and ask the client to download again. That whay you know your safe and dont have to try and get the client to fix the booting machine.

See this reply as a educational how to and not a THIS IS HOW ITS DONE.

Good luck.

Sorry that is a [DIRECT] sc. This is the option you put in you helpdesk.txt

This will make the SC automaticly connected to a single connection when the EXE file is run. (The users does not click on anything)

Cheers

sorry to act like such a noob, but will you tell me where in the helpdesk file to put that [Direct] in. Also, do you have to put anything else in there to make it connect when the exe file is run? If you could give me something to copy and paste, I would be very grateful. Or if you know of a help file that explains how to add that feature. Thanks again!
