Command Line Options

Running the Movere.Service.exe from a command-line without any flags will not execute the tool; instead it offers you the syntax for using the command line options. The syntax is listed below with an overview of each flag.

Movere Syntax

MOVERE.SERVICE.EXE [[-AD] | [[[-DEVICES] [-ALL | -SERVERS | -WORKSTATIONS | -DEVICE:[...]] | [-RESCAN]] [-LOCAL] | [-WMI]]] [-DOMAIN:[...]] [-FOREST] [-OU:[...\\...\\...],[...\\...]] [-VCSA:[...]] [-O365] [-UPLOAD] [-CREDENTIALS] [-APICREDENTIALS:[...]]

The recommended scan is to use the -devices -servers and -ad flags. We recommend using the Movere Console application to help guide the process. Some examples are shown below the following table to get you started.

Movere Command Line Flags

Please Note: If using Console version 11.10.2.22 or higher, you must enter the Magic Word in clear text before entering the command string variables, using this flag: -magicword:magicword123!. 

The Magic Word will be entered in clear text prior to the scanning variables, for example: Movere.service.exe -magicword:magicword123! -ad -upload
