RAdmin Remote Installer Script

[Guest Close Guest]

The tool STRCM created by SystemTools to push out VNC was a great when we were using VNC. We have since purchased a new remote control program called RAdmin because it has increased security and file transfers. It is available from http://www.radmin.com/default.html

My problem is that STRCM does not push other RC packages. I have found a way of pushing RAdmin, or if you like, any programs with little tweaks in the code.

Install steps:
1. Create a new folder under Hyena called RAdmin (C:\program files\hyena\radmin\).

2. Copy all files from your RAdmin install folder (C:\program files\radmin\) into this new folder.

3. Customize RAdmin then export the KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RAdmin REG key into this folder and name it as follows:
RASettings-Client.reg <-This is for client settings. (Ex. Local Admins Only, Ask user’s permission)
RASettings-Server.reg <-This is for server settings. (Ex. NT Authentication, don’t ask before controlling)

4. Download PSEXEC and PSSERVICE from:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr.../pstools.shtml
and extract them into a new folder under Hyena called TOOLS.

5. Add a new tool in Hyena and give it the Command Line of:
"C:\Program Files\Hyena\RAdmin\RAInstall.bat" %E% %P1:1 - Client or 2 - Server%

When you run this tool on a computer in the list, it will ask you if it’s for a Client or Server and then apply the REG key, copy the RAdmin program to the user, and install it as a service.

Hope this helps everyone

CAn you possibly post your batch file you have so I have an Idea of what to go off of?

Re: RAdmin Remote Installer Script

Never mind, I got the help from the psexec tool it's self. If anyone needs an example here is mine.

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Installing Remote Admin 2.1 Service

COPY "\\vo-phx-fs05\Scripts\HyenaTools\RAdmin\r_server.exe" "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\r_server.exe"
COPY "\\vo-phx-fs05\Scripts\HyenaTools\RAdmin\raddrv.dll" "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\raddrv.dll"
COPY "\\vo-phx-fs05\Scripts\HyenaTools\RAdmin\admdll.dll" "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\admdll.dll"
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\r_server.exe /install /silence
C:\WINNT\regedit.exe /s \\vo-phx-fs05\Scripts\HyenaTools\RAdmin\settings.reg

ECHO Remote Admin 2.1 Service Installed


My command line in Hyena is as Follows:
\\vo-phx-fs05\scripts\HyenaTools\Pstools\psexec.exe \\%E% -u valueoptions\user -p password -c -f "\\vo-phx-fs05\Scripts\HyenaTools\Scripts\RAinstall_ps.bat"

This batch file is what I use to install to my clients. It only installs the service and the registry entry's for the groups I want to be allowed. This prevents my users from messing with the settings or trying to view someone else desktop.
Don't forget the serial number registry entry. Otherwise when you connect remotely you have to enter that long ass #.

This basicaly adds our domain & field admin groups,my ops group & the helpdesk group. They all have full access to the RAdmin in this.

(don't bother trying to get my key, I have made changes in this post)

Re: RAdmin Remote Installer Script

btw: This worked out great. I am made two batch files like he has. One for the Clients and One for the Servers. After I remotely install it I am able to use Hyena to start the R_service. Then I hop right in.

Re: RAdmin Remote Installer Script

I can't believe I didn't include the batch file. With this batch file you can redistribute the REG files without reinstalling it all. The REG key you posted should work fine.

Here is my batch file

Re: RAdmin Remote Installer Script

Just a quick question... In the installer script at the ;

"ECHO ********** Writing RAdmin settings from %regkey%.reg
"%programfiles%\hyena\tools\psexec" \\%computer% %systemroot%\regedit /s %systemroot%\radmin\%regkey%.reg
@if errorlevel 1 pause"

Section you refenece %systemroot% as a paramter for psexec. That returns your own LOCAL systemroot env var. Any suggestions on getting the REMOTE %systemroot% ?

Re: RAdmin Remote Installer Script

Here is an updated verson of the batch file. I used the ADMIN$ share to access the windows dir on the remote system. This way it works for any version of windows.

Hope this helps:
