How do we know if ScanSafe is running?

[ryan.davidson7]

Hello,

We have scansafe running on our network and its installed as part of our build process.  We recently had a security problem with one of our devices and it turned out ScanSafe was installed but wasnt running on this particular device.  Is there any way anyone know to report on which devices are actually running the service or not?  I was thinking about trying to get some sort of batch file to check if the Web Security Agent was actually running. We have around 1300 devices i would need to check and at the moment its unknown how many are working and how many are not which is a bit unsettling for obvious reasons.

Any advise or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ryan Davidson

The way our deployment team did it is with SCCM to determine how many were deployed. They deployed it in a package. As far as it being part of a build, I would say leverage active directory to determine if the service is in a running state or not. We actually password protect the service so it is grayed out for users. They cannot stop the service this way.

Thanks for your response.  Would you be able to explain what you mean by leverage active directory please?
