NAVRoam is a new feature added to Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition (NAVCE) 7.6 that provides Roaming Client Support and is rolled out to a client automatically whenever NAVCE 7.6 is installed on the client.

RunRoam will run silently unless the /V switch is used.

RunRoam performs the following actions:

NAVRoam /import ROAMLIST.TXT
NAVRoam /install

Note: RunRoam must reside in the same folder as NAVRoam.

Command Syntax:   RunRoam [/V | /? | /DEBUG ]

       /V  Verbose Mode

       /?  This Screen

       /DEBUG  DEBUG Mode - This will display Message Boxes on Errors


Notes:

RunRoam has an optional INI file to customize settings; a sample file is in the ZIP archive. The name of the INI file is the same name as this Executable file. The INI file has the following parameters:

  [CONFIG]

  LISTFILE=LIST.TXT

  ADMINMESSAGE=Please Contact [ADMIN NAME HERE] at x12345

INI File Definitons:

       LISTFILE=     This is the name of the list file you wish to import

       ADMINMESSAGE=   This is the text message to disply in the error messages. The text must be enclosed in quotes. If no INI file is specified a default error message is produced. The program will use the list file name of ROAMLIST.TXT if none is specified.

Note: Error messages will always be displayed to the console.
