Hi Mark, 1) No Idea.2) We are using LANDesk for the software deployment. The DB has to be cleaned up very frequently, depending upon the number of machines. For us we do it every month for ~37k machines or else it starts behaving abnormally. I find pull deployment better over push with LANDesk for the target rates. We don't use it for patch management and have WSUS in place for that.
3) Core component if you are going to use it for patch management and reporting. Threats like conficker would never get completely cleaned up if the patch is not present. The vulnerabilities in the O.S. are exploited by the threats in the wild.

Hello Colleagues, A couple questions to pose to the group as I'm seeking to determine current practices: 1) Anyone currently using or evaluating LANDesk AntiVirus (Kaspersky engine? If so care to comment on pros/cons in regard to stability and resource consumption? 2) Anyone currently using LANDesk Management Suite for SERVER patch management? If so care to comment on pros/cons? 2) Those of you in environments where there is a dedicated security department AND a dedicated Network Department who manages the server AV nodes? Do you see this as a core component of the Security Group or Network Group (and security to read only monitor) Many thanks in advance for your input.
