Problem

How to use the DLOCommandu.exe utility to publish and automatically upgrade Veritas Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO) 7.x Clients to DLO version 7.5x.

Solution

The DLOCommandu.exe utility is found in the Veritas DLO folder on the Admin Server drive and location where it is installed. The following instructions will allow DLO clients to be automatically upgraded when they connect to the DLO Admin Server.
 
Using the Publish Command:
 
 
1) From the command line on the server, change to the Veritas DLO directory. (Ex. C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec DLO)
 
Run DLOCommandu.exe with the update option to add the configuration file and make note of the ID number returned when this command is run:
 
DLOCommandu -update -add -f "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec DLO\DLOAgent\update_7.5\DLOAgentUpdate_NBU.ini""
 
Note: If the configuration file DLOAgentUpdate_NBU.ini has been moved or renamed, one needs to specify the full path and file name in the command above as given in the example below.  
 
Example:  
C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec DLO>dlocommandu.exe -update -add -f "X:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec DLO\DLOAgent\update_7.5\DLOAgentUpdate_NBU.ini"
 
ID=33
Name=7.5 Update
Description=Updates Veritas DLO Desktop Agent to 7.5
Version=7.5
PromptUser=Yes
ExitAfterLaunch=No
Build=7.58.23a
srcPath=\\DLOServerName\DLOAgent\update_7.5
cmdName=AutomatedAgentUpgrade.exe
cmdArgs=
cmdPath=%DOWNLOADDIR%

The client update record has been added to the database.
    
2) Run DLOCommandu.exe with the publish command to make the update available to Desktop Agent users:
 
    DLOCommandu -update -publish -UI y -U UserName  (to publish the upgrade to one user)
or  
DLOCommandu -update -publish -UI y -P ProfileName (to publish the upgrade to one profile)
or
DLOCommandu -update -publish -UI y -U * (to publish the upgrade to all users)
 
Where ' y' is the ID number returned when the 'add' command was run in the previous step. Using a * in place of " UserName" or " ProfileName" will publish the update to all users. When this command is executed, it will return a list of all users targeted for update as given in the example below:
 
NOTE: It is very important that the number used in the next command come from the ID displayed above other wise the auto upgrade will not work.
 
Example: 
 
C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec DLO>DLOCommandu -update -publish -UI 33 -U *
 
Target User:
 
ID=18 Name="domain\user1"
 
ID=108 Name="domain\user2"
 
ID=138 Name="domain\user3"
 
ID=258 Name="domain\user4"
 
ID=558 Name="domain\user5"
 
ID=588 Name="domain\user6"
 
Users will be updated the next time the Desktop Agent application is started.
 
         NOTE: The DLOAgentUpdate_NBU.ini file can be modified to be a silent install by changing the PromptUser=0
