I have been asked to implement policy inforcement on our remote VPN users. I need to be able to verify that users have up to date virus protection and the latest Windows Updates. Tunnel Guard seems to do this. However, the more I plan this out the more complex it seems to get. Does anyone use this feature? If so are you successfull with it? How easy is it to manager once implemented?
We have remote users that connect from either a company provided laptop with a standard image or a home PC. Our main concern is the home PC users as we have no control currently over how up to date their machine is. Since users could be using any windows OS (XP, 2000, ME), will checking for windows updates be any different for each OS? Nortel said I will have to check for the actual windows update file in order to verify the machine is patched. Does 2000 save its updates in a different location that ME does?
Also, a big concern of mine is that the Tunnel Guard agent requires Java VM 1.4.02 and as we upgrade our images we upgrade the Java VM on the image. I tried to install the agent on my laptop today with Jave VM 1.5.x and the install failed. I had to uninstall my Java and then let the TG Agent installer install the correct version. However, in the TG documentation it states that the Java VM is installed locally in the TG folder and doesn't affect other apps (ie browsers). Can I run multiple versions of VM?
Can anyone help???
