I currently have mcafee 451 on all of my machines. I want to put virus scan 7.0 on them. Will EPO allow you to remove 451 and install 7.0 in one task, or do you have to remove 4.51 manually. Also, when I try to run a task immediately, it can take up to 15 minutes to start.

What's your OS? If it's NOT 9x, this is possible, remember VSE 7.0 only works from NT and higher (32-bit OS). VSE 7.0 will identify the older AV, uninstall it and install 7.0.

Like I said, there's no setting required. When ePO runs SETUP.EXE, it calls UNINST.DLL and UNINST.INI to see if there's competitive and older AV programs installed. If found, it will automatically call the uninstall routine of the installed program. Once uninstalled, then VSE7 continues with its own installation.

Hi guys,
So reading your comments that will mean that if epo doesn't see any AV installed at a computer where it has pushed the agento, it will automatically install it. If you add a software to the repository like thin client will it install it also?

No. You would still need to configure ePO to deploy the packages automatically from the pre-installed Deployment task. As in 2.51, you still need to specify if you want to "force-install" a particular product.

Have you added the software to the repository? If not, click on "Add Package" and browse to where the PkgCatalog.Z file is located with the VSE 7.0 installer. Once added to the repository, you can now deploy VSE 7.0

what do you mean by nothing? You can't deploy VSE7? Look in the Deployment task under the Tasks tab. Open the task and you'll see a new entry for VSE 7 which includes these options: Ignore, Install, Remove; with different language versions depending on which languages are available.

Check if the task is ENABLED. Also, once you're done, check the Status Monitor of the agent to see if it's receiving the task and implementing it.
BTW, VSE 7's icon doesn't show up in most instances after install but will already be running. Check if the program group is already installed under "Start/Program/Network Associates"
