Re: Microsoft antivirus

[Drew Perry <aperry () MURRAYSTATE EDU>]

We switched from McAfee ePO to Microsoft's FEP/SCCM last fall. The
reporting from SCCM has been invaluable. Agent installs, rogues,
infections, remediations, patch levels. ePO had many of these reports but
was just nowhere near as user friendly. I'm loving it.
