My 2
cents...
EpO has worked
outstanding for us.
Does inventory
reports, finds "rogues", demonstrates to pointy-haired bosses how many
infections are avoided and how dangerous it is "out there."
Combined with
CommTouch Anti-Spam solution.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Anti-virus protection in domain enviromentJust to add a little to what Phil says:When I last used ePO I found that possibly the most useful feature was the reporting aspect. This allows you (amongst others) to assess which viruses were found in the environment and therefore what action if any needs to be taken to prevent further infection.Most organisations don't have any idea how many infections they suffer from or how regularly the infections occur. A tool such as ePO can help in this area quite significantly. [it's also a handy management tool which helps justify the ongoing AV costs :) ]neil

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Anti-virus protection in domain enviromentTake a look at this article, it should give you the information you need to configure Antivirus on your DC's:I don't have any experience running NOD32 on anything :)As for clients, most environments I have been in use a product similar to McAfee's EPO to centrally manage all the AV agents on the desktop to make sure they are configured to the corporate standard and that they have up to date scan engines and DAT files.Phil

I got some questions about the anti-virus protection of a domain controller
and the domain environment:
In my opinion the best AV program for the moment is NOD32 - I am using it
successfully on many workstations, but I am not quite sure how it will act on
a DC. What kind of protection do you use on your DCs and have somebody got a
closer look on the NOD32 installed on a DC?
And something else to ask: what kind of AV protect your workstations in
domain, do you use a single copy of a normal AV or some enterprise edition?
All advises on the topic of antivirus protection in domain controller and the
stations in the domain are welcome.
