7. Updating the NOD32 for Novell with NOD32UPD Introduction NOD32UPD is a module of the NOD32 anti-virus system providing command line update of the anti-virus system (NOD32). The “Command Line Updater“ works on all operating systems supported by NOD32. In particular, it works on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000, Dos, Novell Netware and Linux.

www.nod32.com/download/engine/mod_base.nup - the base of the virus database and www.nod32.com/download/engine/mod_inc.nup - the increment of the virus database (Both files are needed to download to create the mirror correctly) These Update Files are downloaded (either via NOD32 Control Center or manually) to the Mirror Directory (created by the administrator). NOD32UPD can then update the Target Computer from this Mirror Directory.

a remote update otherwise (in case of the update of a local NOD32 installation) this parameter is absent and the selected target directory is the one containing NOD32UPD. • parameters – see the following section: Parameters Parameters are used to control NOD32UPD program. All standard parameters (including their syntax and effect/s) are listed below: /update (use –update on Novell and linux platforms) Provides update of a target NOD32 installation, if necessary.

List of the Return Values and their meaning: Current version is installed on the target computer. The Mirror (source) directory does not contain a newer version of NOD32. NOD32 anti-virus system has been successfully updated to a newer version. NOD32 anti-virus system has been successfully updated to a newer version. Update of the program (environment) has also been completed.

Error occurred replacing the updated file. This could happen if a file to be updated is running during the update process. The target NOD32 system needs to be updated on the computer where it is installed. Remote update is not possible. The target NOD32 system does not exist or is damaged.

Procedure NOD32UPD2 can be executed via a batch file. Hence, it can run without any user intervention and is controlled by means of the command lines parameters only. After its execution, the module returns a Return Value that may be subject to further processing. Before using NOD32UPD2, please, read applicable information corresponding to a specific operating system included...

NOTE: If a Windows computer is available, but the Target Computer is not connected to the Windows computer (by means of LAN), then the Update Mirror files can be transferred to the Target Computer by an alternative approach (e.g. using floppy disk/s).

Novell Netware NOD32 for Netware can either be updated directly via NOD32UPD.NLM or, remotely, from an admin computer. In case of a remote update of the virus databases or the program (return value 2 or 3), the resident module - AMON.NLM needs to be restarted: (execute: UNLOAD AMON.NLM and: LOAD AMON.NLM) Linux...
