System Center Endpoint Protection remote scan

Question

Could I use psexec to start a remote scan of a clients System Center Endpoint Protection ? I can't find any switches. Or Could I use System Center?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use whatever remote execution tool you want.

You want to run c:\program files\Microsoft Security Client\MPCmdRun.exe -Scan 0

Run it without any parameters to see all the options - you can choose what scan level (0 is default), force it to update antivirus signatures, gather files for support logs, etc.
