Share Scan. By selecting the Share Scan check box, you can configure System Scanner to track changes to hidden shares (i.e., those shares in which the name ends with $), share permissions, and the NTFS permissions on shared folders and shared printers. Tracking changes to shares is valuable because shared folders provide a doorway into your file system.
After you've finished configuring the scan types and options, click Finish. The New Policy Wizard creates your policy, then exits.
Running Scans
With the policy in hand, you're ready to generate the baseline scan against which System Scanner will compare subsequent scans. System Scanner automatically generates a policy's baselines the first time you use that policy to run a scan. To manually run the baseline scan, select File, Scan Now. Choose DetectChanges and enter Initial Baseline Generation. Click OK to start the scan.
After the scan finishes, your baselines are set and you can schedule the daily scan. Under the Start menu, select Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks. Double-click Add Scheduled Task to open the Scheduled Task Wizard. Click Next, then click Browse. Maneuver to \program files\iss\sysscan\bin and double-click sscli.exe, which is the command-line interface program for System Scanner. Enter System Scanner Baseline Scan as the task's name, and select Daily in the Perform this task option. (You can also schedule the task to run weekly.) Click Next, specify your desired start day and time, then click Next again. Enter an administrative username and password under which System Scanner will run. Click Next, select the Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish check box, and click Finish. . . .
