The Touch Tool synchronizes the time stamp of one file with the time stamp of another file or with the system time of the computer. If you unsuccessfully attempt to deploy a hot fix (an update or patch that Trend Micro releases) on the OfficeScan server, use the Touch Tool to change the time stamp of the hot fix. This causes OfficeScan to interpret the hot fix file as new, which makes the server attempt to automatically deploy the hot fix again.
Touch Tool requires the TmTouch.exe file.
Note: You can only use this tool in OfficeScan 3.54 and later versions.
On the OfficeScan server, go to the following directory: \PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\Touch
Copy the TMTouch.exe file to the folder that contains the file you want to change. If synchronizing the file time stamp with the time stamp of another file, put both files in the same location with the Touch tool.
Open a command prompt and go to the location of the Touch Tool.
Type the following: TmTouch.exe <destination file name> <source file name>
Where:
<destination file name> = the name of the file (the hot fix, for example) whose time stamp you want to change
<source file name> = the name of the file whose time stamp you want to replicate
If you do not specify a source file name, the tool sets the destination file time stamp to the system time of the computer.
Note: You can use the wild card character (*) for the destination file, but not for the source file name.
To verify the time stamp changed, type dir in the command prompt or right click the file in Windows Explorer and select Properties.
