Sybase Search

[Guest]

We are looking for a way to search our domain to find all instances of a Sybase install so that we can verify for audit and license control. We do not have AD running yet. Any help would be appreciated

How would you verify this now, outside Hyena, if you were looking at a remote computer?

vnc inot each server or at the directories of each server.

Re: Sybase Search

If you can determine this by the existence of a particular file or directory, you might be able to use a Custom Tool for this.

You'll go to Tools->Settings->Tools and click New. Give it a Menu Caption of something like Find File, then enter the following into the Command Line box:

Cmd /x/c dir \\%E%\C$\*.dba /s >>c:\results.txt

To run this, select the computers you want to search in Hyena's right window, then right-click and choose Tools->Find File.

This will execute the above command for each of the selected computers, replacing the %E% with the computer name for each, and save the output to c:\results.txt.

You can then open that file and look through to see where the file was found and on what computers.

Does this search more than just the c: drive?

Re: Sybase Search

If you change the C$ to another drive letter, you can search any drive you like.
