Making the connection to corporate edition on my workstation 1

[diogenes10]

If I reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows 98 is there a series of simple steps I can do to reinstall the connection to norton's corporate antivirus program or do i have to go red face and hat in hand to the boss and ask him to pay our tech to do it?
I believe the computer and directories where the programs reside are accessible to me across the network.
Thanks.

Depends on IT's policy. Honestly if you're in a business enviroment, it's better to ask than to try and fake it.

In most cases, without scripts set up, you need to manually install a 9x client. Depending on how your IT set it up, it may try and force an installation on boot if it doesn't detect Anti Virus.

Hi jrjuiliano

I'd waited a bit to acknowledge your response to see if I'd get any others.

I appreciate your kindness in giving me a response even though it wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear. My boss takes a dim view of my software experiments, and he'll take an even dimmer view when it costs money to fix the problems.
When it is just the software on my computer, I'm learning enough to at least keep it operational, but the stuff out over the network is a real killer for me because I don't have any documentation or knowledge. I can look at the virus computer on the network and see a number of programs that look like they might be install or remote related, and I suspect the answer to my question is simply to run one of them but I have no clue as to which one and I don't dare experiment.

I did try removing the vp program on my computer through msconfig and nothing happened when I restarted, so it's probably not set up with a forced reinstall. I'm going to have to redo my harddrive sometime this spring, I'll just put have to put it off as long as I can because of this issue.

thanks.

Did you try looking for the shared NAV install folder? Depending on what version of NAVCE your office is running, would depend on the folder name. Win32 is NAV 7.6

In that folder is the setup file. Running that should get it installed depending on your network rights, policies, etc. =============
