Fabio, We have one installation for about 850 nodes. Each location has a server, so the updates run from the local servers. The only network resources that are used are the copies that are done twice a week to each of the servers. We do that off hours, so it doesn't interfere with regular...

The only thing the IP addresses are really good for is when new ePO agents communicate to the ePO server. This allows ePO to know which group to put them in. This works really slick. I use it to manage all my workstations. When a new workstation is discovered, it is put into the correct...

Sounds like a good security policy is needed here. One that includes AV software, of course. I monitor our computers with ePO. If I notice a computer that hasn't been connected within a week or has had the AV software removed, I contact management. They enforce the requirement that all...

AV_Dude In our testing we had to have the file/print sharing turned on to push to W2K clients. This is set by default in W2K. We deliberately turn it off as we don't want all our W2K PCs shown in our network browse list. If they don't show in the network browse list so they can be added to...

I have been using ePO for over a year and have found too that if you set daily tasks to update the DAT files that it will only work once or twice and then not again. My solution was to set the schedule to run at Login instead. This works flawlessly. Everytime they login to the network, it...

Brendan, First of all, I would recommend moving the database to a separate SQL 7.0 server if at all possible. I ran the database on the same server and experienced some performance issues. Have you added the database to the ePO databases list in the ePO reports section of the tree? Mary...

Do you have file and print sharing turn on in the network configuration on your Windows 2000 Pro workstations? This is needed for the ePO agent to find the workstation. We do not turn on file and print sharing, so this is why I ask. Secondly, what local user security do you have set? The...

We run ePO on a dual P3 with 512MB RAM for about 1000 nodes. We also run the database on SQL 7. My first configuration was a single P3 with 256MB RAM and running the LDAP database with ePO 1.0. When I upgraded to ePO 2.0, I noticed that there were several instances of 100% CPU utilization for...

If these are Windows NT/2000 clients, make sure that the clients are local administrators on the PC. Otherwise the updates won't install. If they are pointing to a share on NT, make sure they have change rights to the share. Like AVChap said, you need the update.ini file. If you are updating...

I have battled the printing woes with 4.5.1. If you scan system files, you need to set exclusions in order to get rid of the printing problems. Here is a list of the exclusions that have taken care of my printing problems. c:\windows\spool\ (including any subfolders) c:\windows\spoolss.dll...

In ePO, you have to set a task for each group of computers listed in your directory. Setting a task is just like scheduling a task in the VirusScan Console. I have set up all of our 800+ PCs to check for upgrades/updates at network login. It works great. Let me know if you have any...

I worked with Management Edition shortly before ePO 1.1 was released. After seeing the capabilities of ePO, I quickly made the move to ePO. Currently we are running 1000 nodes with ePO. It makes client virus management a breeze. We are running ePO on a Windows NT 4.0 server with no W2K...

Macgus: robocopy is in the NT 4.0 Resource Kit. I created a batch file that uses robocopy to copy the files to the remote servers. I then use a scheduler on the on server to run the batch file at a scheduled time. I am not pointing the destination path to a local destination such as...

Michael, I found that I had to let ePO 2.0 create the SQL database and all the security it needs to that database. Once ePO created the database, our SQL admin then was able to change some of the security so that it used a specific login user ID instead of sa. Also make sure that the login...

Hi macgus, I didn't do anything special except to follow the directions in the VirusScan Help. In the mirror options, I had a Network Associates mirror option that points to ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x. I made sure that this task was enabled and that I am using an anonymous FTP...

I am mirroring McAfee's ftp site to an NT server from my W2K workstation. In the destination path, I used a UNC path to my virus share on the NT server. So far, it has been working for several weeks without a problem. I definitely wouldn't create a public share on my local workstation for...

I have seen this problem especially with McAfee 4.5. You need to install the service pack 1 for McAfee VirusScan version 4.5. You should be able to still download it from their web site. Also, if there was a previous version of McAfee VirusScan already installed when you installed 4.5, it can...
