If you need this and other older versions of the command line for Windows
administrative, get
Windows Administration at the Command Line
(Sybex, 2007).
506 CHAPTER 21
SECURING THE SYSTEM
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
/SCANNOW
Scans all of the protected system files immediately and repairs any damage it finds.
The utility normally relies on the content of the
\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
folder to make
repairs to the system files. However, it can also use the Server Core DVD, the content of service
pack folders, or even online sources when necessary. In many cases, you??™ll want to verify the
files using the
/VERIFYONLY
command line switch before you do a repair using this command
line switch.
/VERIFYONLY
Verifies all of the protected system files immediately and works much the same
as the
/SCANNOW
option. However, this option doesn??™t perform any repairs. Even so, it provides
you with a report of system file reliability. To use this option, type
SFC /VERIFYONLY
and press
Enter. You??™ll see the utility work in stages as shown in Figure 21.1.
Figure 21.1
Verify that your system
files are reliable
and repair them only
as needed.
