No worries regnor. i gather you might have tired to uninstall/reboot and reinstall again? Does yours also not appear in Add Remove Programes (Programs & features)?

Yes, I've tried to do a clean installation and also tried different policies but the right click still isn't available.
WSA is also not shown in Add/Remove Programs but I think this comes from our default policy.
 

Like I said it's only a minor problem for me.
The workarround for the missing right click option is to drop files in the 'Customized Scan' windows ;)
 
Thanks for your script; we've got a Software Deployment solution so it's a rather easy task for me 😉 And for those clients which aren't connection to the deployment server I'm using PSEXEC: 'Psexec -c \softwareshareWebroot.exe /key=XXX /silent /lang=de /group=XXX'

I rebooted the terminal server last night and it appears to have fixed the right click and scanning issue on that.

Excellent! ;)

Hello JohnG,

We really appreciate all that information in order to help others!

Thank you so much! 😉

Nope he didnt, i did ask but anyway. From the documentation its for cloned machines but this isnt cloned.
 
Information about -clone (I wasnt sure if it was related to the computers SID linked to the console/database in the cloud and then use a persistant NEW ID flag!!)
For cloned machines/VMs use this to have the agent create a persistent, unique value on the PC which will change what is displayed in the portal for the machine IDs and the hostname of the PC. The product log will indicate this flag being present for the administrator to be aware of which PC they're looking at, example "Applied unique machine ID: C8137921" where C8137921 matches the hostname (i.e. PCHOSTNAME-C8137921) as well as the first 8 bytes of both the InstanceMID and DeviceMID to allow each of them to be identifiable and different than the original IDs. This value will persist if the agent is uninstalled/reinstalled so that existing agents won't move to other IDs. If the OS is reinstalled, the ID will change.
Example:  wsasme.exe /key=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /silent -clone
