430 Building a Network Access Control Solution with IBM Tivoli and Cisco Systems
There is a small catch with this collector, as it is able to check for any Windows
version service pack level including Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000,
and Windows 2003, but there is a possibility to specify only one remediation
workflow. As we do not want to build one remediation package for all of the
Windows versions, we have instructed the collector to only look for the Windows
XP Service Pack 2 and named the remediation workflow after it. With this policy
we check for an installed Windows XP Service Pack 2, so we must create an
appropriate remediation workflow.
Follow the steps described below:
1. First open a command prompt, import the environment variables for the Tivoli
Framework, and start bash. Then create a directory for the workflow files. To
do this issue the following commands:
cmd /k %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env.cmd
bash
cd $BINDIR/tcmremed/download
mkdir TCRMSServicePackInstallWinXpSp2
cd TCRMSServicePackInstallWinXpSp2
2. To build the package you must download the appropriate Service Pack 2
installation file from the Microsoft Web site. The Windows XP Service Pack 2
Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers can be
found at the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30
-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en
The file is named WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe. Be warned that the
size of this file is approximately 266 megabytes, so the download can take a
few minutes depending on your network speed. Copy it to the newly created
directory TCRMSServicePackInstallWinXpSp2.
3. Create the configuration file for the sputil.sh utility containing the instructions
on how to build the package. Copy the Sample.properties file from the
sample_TCRMSServicePackInstall_WinXpSp2Jp directory to the
TCRMSServicePackInstallWinXpSp2 directory and edit it with the text editor
to match the content specified in Example 8-13.
