Win2K client with ePO Agent hangs at shutdown

[R6Pat]

We've just deployed ePO to about 1000 machines and will be deploying it to 50000+ more in the coming months. Since
the initial deployment, we've had problems with PCs hanging
at shutdown for 10 minutes or more.

All th ePCs are Compaq Evo D500 with VS 4.5.1. Could it be unrelated to the workstation type? It would seem to me that
Virus Scan and the ePO Agent are causing problems.

Any insight would be great.

Change to VSE 7.0. I've seen this problem with Compaq Evo machines, dunno why but other brands weren't as troublesome.

I've seen something similair. Does the Mcafee Framework service give any errors in eventviever?

Perhaps this NAI sollution works: NAI35182.

Changing to version 7 could not be that easy. In my case theres no way I can upgrade to 7. (not a technical problem though)
