I have also rolled out Symantec AV Corporate Edition. My only problem is rolling out clients to the DMZ. Im not sure what ports to open for the updates, and if ports are opened what security risks are involved. The other issue is the virus definition are only downloaded once a week (Wednesday), i fixed this by writing a simple script to download and extract the definition file and put it in scheduler to run every morning.

We are a mixed Novell/NT/Linux environment & so far it's worked great. All of the tools have worked as expected. My only complaint is that there isn't really a Linux piece for it. I particularly like that I can lock down the settings so that users can't disable things. Dave Randolph drandolph () nstarbank com System Admin 940 383 6233 Kinder and Gentler IT
