Any ideas on this would be appreciated...

Currently running a mixture of Mcafee8.0 & 8.5 across our Network and am currently building a new image which will include version 8.7 and which in time will eventually replace all other versions.

At the moment we just build our image with the AV software installed and with it configured to auto update daily from a Central Server via a UNC Path.

I've noticed however that some clients do not up date for some reason and on the odd occasion the 'On Access Scanner' will disable it's self.

My question is, I don't really have the budget to setup the EPO, therefore does anyone have any ideas on how I can be confident that 500 Client PCs across the network have the latest DATs and that the 'On Access Scanner' is enabled.

Obviously the EPO would answer my problem here however would appreciate some ideas on how else I could achieve this, ie. checking for registry keys and logging to a file etc. the PC Names which are not updating - Has anyone else tried something similiar ?

Many Thanks.
