Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition - Schedule a Scan

[blondem]

I feel stupid asking this question since it should be easy to figure out. I have Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition version 8.0 installed on several standalone (unmanaged) servers. As the local administrator, I've scheduled daily scans on them - unfortunately, they do not run.

I read somewhere that, unless the user that set them up is logged in, they will not run. My question is how to set up a scheduled scan that will run whether the user that set it up is logged in or not.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't see why Symantec would create a product that would run this way, but how about to begin with make sure that the Symantec AntiVirus Client service is running under an account with local admin rights.

Cheers

You are correct in that a scheduled scan will not run if set up by a USER that is not logged on.

You have got to use the "System" account. Here is a link with details.
