Problem

CIS-CAT Pro Assessor will successfully complete a scan with the GUI but not the CLI (or vice versa)

Solution

This may be due to different memory allocation between the GUI and the CLI executables.

To solve the issue, make the Assessor-GUI.bat and Assessor-CLI.bat memory allocation equal.

For the Assessor-GUI.bat

  • Navigate to the Assessor-v4.x.x\Assessor-CLI\misc\Windows folder

  • Open the Assessor-GUI.bat file in an editor

  • Near the bottom, find this line: %JAVA% -Xmx2048M -jar "....%~dp0\Assessor-CLI.jar" %_tail% --verbose

  • Raise the memory allocation by raising the -XMX number to a higher number(Make sure it is a valid increment) ex: %JAVA% -Xmx4096M -jar "....%~dp0\Assessor-CLI.jar" %_tail% --verbose

For the Assessor-CLI.bat

  • Navigate to the Assessor-CLI folder

  • Open the Assessor-CLI.bat file in an editor

  • Near the bottom, find this line: %JAVA% -Xmx2048M -jar "....%~dp0\Assessor-CLI.jar" %_tail% --verbose

  • Raise the memory allocation by raising the -XMX number to a higher number(Make sure it is a valid increment) ex: %JAVA% -Xmx4096M -jar "....%~dp0\Assessor-CLI.jar" %_tail% --verbose
