hrm, kinda weak to me... we have 9,000 users and over 6,000 workstations running NT... write yourself a perl script (or VB if that's your preference) that does the updates on the local machines for the workstation AV software, install it as a service with some logging and you're done other than monitoring it from time to time.... then make sure you (as the Exchange Admin) are monitoring what you should be blocking and that your Exchange AV software is updating properly....

At 1300 machines given the problems we appear to be having, the guy that does our AV wants a FTE created for it because he feels it would be appropriate. -----Original Message----- From: Drewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 9:01 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: AV! a full time job?

I don't think this is a full time job. If you have a full time position just for A/V, you'd have to have a backup person since viruses do not take any vacation. Instead of having full time position, pay A/V vendor to notify you (& other support staffs) when there's new virus via pager, cell phone, email, etc. If you want to have closer relationship with A/V vendor, pay more money to have someone like Technical Account Manager, TAM. Once you have those communcation method established, you have to have software that can distribute updates automatically and fast. My two cents... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Hansen, Eric Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 4:24 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: AV! a full time job? Just curious what some of the Exchange Admins think. Would you consider Antivirus a full time job? I speak for both email and network/desktop. Around here it isn't, although we wish it was cause it seems to be getting neglected. We are around 1300 users right now. e- _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
