McAfee Endpoint Encryption / SafeBoot UDF

[ChrisFromBoston]

After years of using AutoIt for small administrative scripts, I've created my first UDF. This UDF will allow you to embed commands in your code to send to your McAfee Endpoint Encryption agent and then process the data that is returned. If anyone out there is using this software, I'd love your feedback. If I've made any formatting or comment faux pas, please let me know

ToDo:

Properly build the XML statements instead of concatenating strings (sorry XML Gods!)

Better processing of data returned from agent - perhaps loading it all into an array.

Special Thanks:

eltorro for writing XMLDomWrapper

Example Script:

This script will force your agent to sync with the server.

#Include <_McAfeeEndpointEncryption.au3>
 
; Silent RUN Errors
AutoItSetOption("RunErrorsFatal", 0) 
 
; Register COM
$regCom = _EEPCRegisterCOM()
if @error Then
    consolewrite("Error at line " & @ScriptLineNumber & " - " & @error)
    exit(11)
EndIf
 
; Connect to Database
$eeConnect = _EEPCConnect("installer", "mypassword", false)
if @error Then
    consolewrite("Error at line " & @ScriptLineNumber & " - " & @error)
    exit(11)
EndIf
 
$ret = _EEPCExecute($eeConnect, "ForceSync")
 
if @error Then
    consolewrite("Error at line " & @ScriptLineNumber & " - " & @error)
    exit(11)
EndIf
 
$ret = _EEPCDisconnect($eeConnect)
if @error Then
    consolewrite("Error at line " & @ScriptLineNumber & " - " & @error)
    exit(11)
EndIf

We just started deployment of McAfee Endpoint Encryption to our organization just last week, the coincidence is quite compelling.

I'm not apart of the team managing / deploying it but I'll present this to them so see if they can use it.

Awesome We'd been prepping for the deployment for a long time and I've spent almost 9 months now with the product, so if they need anything, they're welcome to ping me through the forums. I have a few posts in my blog that talk about some issues that we'd run into, or that I helped other folks through, and the McAfee community is pretty good, too.

Hope the UDF helps
