Configuration Manager 2007 Task Sequence to assist in resolving McAfee Antivirus deleting svchost.exe
By now I'm sure you all heard about the false positive detection of w32/wecorl.a in 5958 DAT issue with McAfee and how it can cause a no-boot situation in Windows XP SP3. McAfee themselves as well as some of our colleagues on the Windows team have a resolution posted that describes how to fix this one a one-by-one basis, but what if you have a lot of clients experiencing the issue? Well if you're running System Center Configuration Manager 2007 then your life just got a whole lot easier. Using ConfigMgr 2007, this issue can be remediated by a SCCM 2007 Task Sequence by booting into WinPE via PXE or Boot Media and copying svchost.exe from the DLLCache back to its proper location. The EXTRA.DAT file from the above McAfee article can also be copied over to its proper location to prevent the issue from occurring again.
