Scroll to "What's new in this release."

One of the highlights is (finally) MSI support which should make alot of folks here pretty happy.

Thats the one I was looking for has anyone used the Malware detection? How does it compare to say Adaware or Spybot.

Like most companies we're looking for a centraly managed solution for malware detection.

I really want my update CD but it will be sent out in 2 - 5 weeks time.

If you have a current Software maintainance agreement, you should recieved a letter from symantec with a new licencing code, that will allow you to go to the site and d/load the update without having to wait for the cd.

Kiwica,

Thats what I thought too. Alas, the nice person I spoke to in Katmandoo or where ever said that I would have to wait for my CD........ and wait I continue....

Thanks for the response,

Iain

Spirit, One thing to be aware of is the following error: Error: "The add-in 'C:\Program Files\NavNT\vpmsece.dll' could not be installed or loaded. . .

After Migrating from sav 8.x you may get this when you open Outlook on your clients

Go to the symantec knowledgebase and look at Document ID:2002090613375148
It gives you the work around... forget about using MS detect and repair..it doesnt correct the issue (or didnt for me). Basically the work around asks you to delete the extend.dat file in the users profile and then look for and delete certain files in the registry.

I can confirm Kiwica's post of May 17th, as we just received our letter today. It's worth noting that we only have gold, not platinum maintenance.

A fix tool for the outlook problem has been released:

Anyone using Live Update Administration Utility? I can't get it to list the new versions of Symantec Antivirus. It'll only show version 8.x and not 9.x. Before Symantec Support said that when you run any Live Update from the utility it will update the product list, but this just doesn't happen.

[Kiwica]

Yep, The link from Zulan is the same fix I mentioned in the document. Im glad somebody else has experienced this. Its a pain when something goes wrong and nobody else seems to have come across it.....

Hey guys

Currently using 8.01, Anyone using 9.0 can tell me what the difference is in regards to Email?

We don't run a Mail AV scanner on our Exchange boxes, but all workstations are running NAV CE Client. Currently, one thing which shits me off is how NAV CE doesn't scan email or anything. It merely sits on the filesystem, and lets people open virus attachments, then the realtime system kicks in and picks it up...

Is this changed in 9.0? Where it's similar to the home version of NAV, where it literally scans all email in and outgoing, before it shows it in your inbox?

 

[Kiwica]

Yep, it scans.....

see ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/products/symantec_antivirus/symantec_antivirus_corp/9.0/manuals/rtf_sav.pdf

 

[plattze]

But does it scan Microsoft Exchange sending/reciever or just SMPT and POP3?

 

[kapt]

I just called Symantec and they gave me my Upgrade serial # and link to download the new version over the phone.

We have Gold maintenance. Screw waiting 6-8 weeks for CD's

 

[Spirit]

One quick phone call to across the pond and I am sorted.

Happy

Got it deployed, and it seems to be a bit quicker on the manual scans, in addition to the other nice features.

Now to sort through the friggin' Outlook issue that's been mention here... and is now on sixty of my machines.

Does anyone happen to have a MST for the MSI install of Norton 9 they'd like to share? I'm fairly new to making transforms for things, but i cannot seem to figure out where to tell norton to make itself managed and what parent server to use. Anyone?

Thanks!

I wanted to install the central quarantine, now i keep getting "Error -1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime". I've tried everything in the installshield article (link)

http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?pcode=ALL&articleid=Q107070

except for reinstalling windows. Has anyone else had this problem? As much as i would enjoy reinstalling windows on a DC i would rather avoid it if possible.
