SLCheck |
When I double click on the
SLCheck.exe nothing happens. What is wrong?
Please ensure that the file mswinsck.ocx is copied to your
c:\windows\system32 folder. |
I would like to monitor more
than one server. How can I define different batch files for my
servers?
Create one folder for each server under c:\SLCheck and copy the
batch files into the new folders. Use option -d in the command line
to specify the folder. Have a look at this example: SLCheck -a
ftp-server -p 21 -r "220" -d FTP -SLFile FTP\FTP.csv.
"-d
FTP" indicates that you use the .cmd files from subdirectory
c:\SLCheck\FTP. You have to copy them to that location manually and
then modify them. "-SLFile FTP\FTP.csv" tells SLCheck to
log all results to c:\SLCheck\FTP\FTP.csv. |
I
would like to start a
notification in the batch files not until the second timeout occurs.
How can I do that?
You can work with a file flag. Please read article Ignoring
single Timeouts. |
The
flickering batch files are annoying. But I can't use the -nobatch
option because they send notifications. What can I do?
You can configure your scheduled tasks to run under the system
account. If you are prompted for the user account, just type system
into the "Run as" field and leave the password fields
blank. Then the batch files (CheckOK.cmd, CheckTimeout.cmd, ...) are
executed, but not visible for the logged on user. Please ensure that
there is no pause command at the end of the batch files. |
We get the answer "220
<servername> <current date/time>" from our eMail
server on port 25. How can we check for that variable string?
You can put "220 <servername>" in
the -r option. SLCheck only compares the left string of the answer
with the string given in option -r. |
I would like to use SLCheck to
monitor my internet connection, but my proxy server requires
authentication, so SLCheck doesn't work?
That's right. SLCheck is not able to perform authentication. You can
configure your proxy server to "authenticate" via IP
address. That means you configure your proxy server to allow the IP address of the SLCheck
server without authentication. |
I always get a timeout when
trying to connect to my server. What can I do?
Please ensure that your firewall or personal firewall is
configured to allow the connection. For a low level test you can use
the Telnet command. |

USBSecure Professional |
Although
I perform a new logon to my workstation the configuration is still
the old one. What can I do?
The workstation gets the configuration from the devices$ share
every time the USBSecure service is started. This happens at reboot
or manually by restarting the service. |
How
can I identify the correct syntax for of the USB devices for my
usb.cfg?
You can run the script ShowExistingUsbDevices.vbs with local admin
rights. This creates file ExistingUsbDevices.txt. You can
copy&paste these lines to usb.cfg. You can also gather the
information from USBSecure.log or from the properties window of the
USB device in Device Manager. |
Can
I distribute USBSecure with my software distribution system?
Yes. It just consists of one service and some files. |
How can I prevent USBSecure
from rebooting when the script is not able to deactivate a forbidden
USB device?
Please create the file NoShutdown.txt
(with no content) in the devices$ share. If you would like to
prevent only single workstations from rebooting, you can set
ViolationShutdown=no in the USBSecure.ini file. |
How
can I uninstall USB devices, although they are not plugged in?
USB devices are listed in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Enum \ USB. If you grant yourself the
appropriate rights, you can delete these registry keys. Caution:
This is not recommended by the operating system producer. |
