Microsoft Security Essentials Command Line

["Burian, Matthew J." <mjb () burianit com>]

Something I found while trying to find a way to update Microsoft
Security Essentials automatically on my home testing domain logins-
some command line parameters for working with MSE:

Especially useful is this line:

"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Security Essentials\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate

to update the MSE definition files.  I have automatic windows updates
disabled on my client machines, so I push this command in a login
script via group policy, and know that my definition files are up to
date on all machines every time a user logs in.  Obviously, this is
just for my personal windows domain, and would not be appropriate for
a real business or enterprise environment as MSE is designed for home
use, and provides no management features.  However this could still be
useful if you wish to disable windows automatic updates, and still
update your MSE definitions, either on a network, or just a local
machine by running this command at startup of the machine.
