Our apps team is trying to develop a process that will execute a doscan on a file when it is dropped to a specific folder on a server. They need the process to run and then when it is complete, if the file still exists (was not deleted/quarantined by SEP) , then continues with other processing (non-SEP related).
The process was working during some initial testing, but now that they started to throw some load, we see multiple doscan.exe process (one for each file dropped) which causes the scans to never complete. We tried to end the task, but we get "Access denied" and the server has to be rebooted.
Has anyone tried something similar to this before? If so, any luck getting it to work?
I mentioned that this seems like a job for Symantec Protection Engine, but we do not really have that here, so we have been attempting to get this running.
We also tried the "/A" switch, but since they are waiting for the result of the scan before continuing, this is not an option.
Thanks
Martin
