Hey all,

I'm trying to do some automation using Puppet on Windows machines, and I'm planning on using the command line with Spybot on the PCs that I will administer.

I checked out the command line parameters for Spybot but they aren't working. I tried using the short path (SDScan.exe /scan) and the full path ("C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2\SDScan.exe" /scan) but in either cases I end up with the GUI in front waiting for me to click "start scan". I tried with quotations marks and without, same result.

11908

I initially tried with /scan /silent, but after checking the process explorer I noticed that nothing happened.

Using the latest version (2.4) and all other info on command line issues are dating back to 2008-2006, which are too far away from this version, but I would have expected it to work.

Any ideas?

You aren't doing anything wrong,it's just that the command line parameters don't work with the free version. :)
Here's the comparison chart,command line parameters are under Automation:
