The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need help getting this batch script to work

Asked by Medquest in MS Forefront-ISA, Windows Batch Scripting, Automation

hi all,

I've been fighting a batch file that uninstalls symantec anti virus and installs forefront. the fact that forefront isn't supported by windows XP SP1, it's very important that the script makes sure that the operating system is windows XP SP2 or higher before removing symantec anti virus and then installs forefront.
the scripts should abort if windows XP1 or lower is installed.

I've got the script that will do the work, but for some reason it's not working. the exact part that's not working is this:

Start Script =================================================
 
for /f "tokens=1-20" %%x in ('reg query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion" /v ProductName ^| find "ProductName"') do @set ProductName = %%x
Rem
if "ProductName" geq "Microsoft Windows XP" goto XP
exit
:XP
cls
Echo This computer is running Microsoft Windows XP
Pause
Rem
for /f "tokens=1-14" %%j in ('reg query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion" /v CSDVersion ^| find "CSDVersion"') do @set CSDVERSION = %%j
Rem
if "CSDVERSION" geq "Service Pack 2" goto SP2
exit
:SP2
cls
Echo This computer is running Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2
Pause
