Lenovo ThinkPad R50p - Manual (Page 143)

Note: If you would prefer to use a user interface to perform this step,
download the Rescue and Recovery toolkit from http://www.lenovo.com/
support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN .
Having completed the previous steps, build and distribute your first package.
On an administrator system (non-donor), perform the following:
a. Create a directory such as C:\ADM\Build.
b. In that directory, create a file called go.rrs and add the following:
msgbox.exe /msg “Hello World!” /head “test” /ok /cancel
c. Save and close the file.
d. Issue a CD command to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and
Recovery\ADM
e. Run this command:
apkgmes.exe /key mykey.prv C:\adm\build HELLOPKG
f. This will create a package called HELLOPKGYYMMDDHHMM.ZAP where
YYMMDDHHMM are replaced with the current date/time.
8. Copy the HELLOPKGYYMMDDHHMM.ZAP to a mailbox location specified in
step 2.
9. Implement Antidote Delivery Manager.
a. When the timer has expired on the donor system, the package will run and
a Hello World message box will appear.
b. If you prefer not to wait, on the donor system, you can enter C:\Program
Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\ADM\mailman.exe
Examples
Antidote Delivery Manager can be utilized in the following examples:
Example 1
This example is a package to fix a computer that is constantly displaying a blue
screen because of a virus or bad entry in registry.
1. Assume the reason the client computer is displaying a blue screen is because of
a virus that is executed through the Run Key in the registry. To fix this, a file
called go.rrs needs to be created that runs reg. See “Supported Microsoft
commands” on page 129 for a list of Microsoft commands. Reg removes the
registry value and deletes the executable from the system, if possible. The
contents should look like this:
reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run /v runvirusvalue
/f del %custos%\windows\system32\virus.exe
2. Now place your go.rrs file in your C:\ADM\BUILD directory and run:
apkgmes.exe /key mykey.prv C:\ADM\BUILD REMOVEVIRUS
3. Copy REMOVEVIRUSYYDDHHMM.ZAP to your mailbox.
4. Boot up each client and press the Access ThinkVantage button/F11 or the Enter
key to enter the Predesktop Area where the mailman.exe file is run on startup
and then run the REMOVEVIRUS package.
Example 2
This example pushes a Quick Fix Engineering update or patch down to client
machines.
1. Create a directory to hold the script file and patch files, for example:
C:\ADM\PATCHBUILD.
2. Place the QFE or patch executable in the C:\ADM\PATCHBUILD directory.
