SseCleanup.exe, and SSEStart.exe) are in the same folder whenever
SpySweeper.exe executes. Typically, these files are in the C:\Program
Files\Webroot\Enterprise\Server\Client folder of the system where you installed
Webroot Enterprise Server.
• Using a logon script to execute one of the above files. Webroot has provided some
example logon scripts that you can change to meet your needs. See “Example Logon
Script” on page 23.
• Using Group Policies, if you use Active Directory. For more information, refer to http://

• Including the Spy Sweeper client as part of an image installed on workstations.
– Install Spy Sweeper on the target system you are intending to image. If you will be
implementing multiple Admin Consoles, you need to create a separate image for
clients managed under each console.
– Stop the Webroot CommAgent service.
– Remove the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Webroot\Enterprise\CommAgent\guid
– Create your image.
The SpySweeperSetup.msi client installation program defaults to visible installation where you
see a progress bar and receive feedback when the installation is complete. For information about
using different installation options, see “Client Installation Options” on page 22.
The CommAgents contact the Client Service on your company server, as displayed in the Client
Service Port field in the Admin Console (Admin Tasks > Settings), to look for product updates
and configuration changes. If updates are available, the CommAgents access the updates from the
distributors assigned on the Assign Distributors panel in the Admin Console. If no other
distributors are assigned, the company server (the default distributor) passes updates to the client
workstations.
Client workstations poll the company server at random intervals within 20 seconds of installation.
During the first contact, the CommAgent also provides the name and MAC address of the client
workstation and automatically adds the client to a default group. For more information, see
“Managing Groups” on page 34.
Once you set up the client workstations and they have polled the company server, you can change
the groups, if needed. You can also schedule sweeps and change sweep settings based on groups.
For more information, see “Chapter 3, Setting Up the Webroot Enterprise Server” on page 29.

You can use the following options in your logon script when you set up client workstations:

SpySweeperSetup.msi. The installation program defaults to visible installation where you
see a progress bar and receive feedback when the installation is complete. The syntax is:
