I am currently using GFI's LanGuard. It's pretty cheap and it works pretty fast. Scanning about 40 servers and 300 workstations, half of that through a VPN. My only concern about the product is how often it is updated. Would prefer it to check against microsofts site for patch info automatically instead of having to do it manually. I run it right off my laptop which is nice if I need to do patch updates at home or any other remote site.

I'm using the free version, and scanning about 35 machines in maybe 10 minutes - that's in its 'quick scan' mode. I'm perfectly happy with it. Many of my workstations didn't have the office software installed from the network, so the office patches don't work as well. But the OS patches seem to be fine.

Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2003 12:07:44 -0400 Yeah, that has been our observation as well. We have scanned machines in batches of 50 and it does get VERY SLOW during the scans. Hoping it is something they will work on in future releases.

Subject: OT - Shavlik HFNetchkPro, anyone use it? As subject really, trialling it now on some of our servers and it looks quite impressive for the cost (which isn't very much). Anyone using it and have any good experiences or any horror stories using it? regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.
