Lira's are Euros now :)

But seriously, has the memory leak been reported to support? Are they
doing anything about it?

I kind of did things the other way around.  I kept the 6.5 console and
ran
the upgrade utility.  As a result of this, all of the signatures from
the
7.0 including the XPU are now in the policy for the 6.5 sensor.  In
addition
to that, the evidence logging feature is available and it does work. 
The
biggest issue to date that we have witnessed for the Windows 2000
network
sensor version 7.0 is that there is a major memory leak and the sensor
and/or console crashes every so often.  

That's about all I have to say for my 1 lira's worth

I tried to derive a new 7.0 policy based on one of my old 6.5 policies.
 It
sort of worked.  I contacted Tech support to be sure that this type of
import was adequate.  Their response was that because 7.0 was a
completely
new architecture I would have to create new 7.0 polcies from scratch. 
They
do provide a policy dumper utility so that you can dump your old policy
to a
spreadsheet and to look at while developing your new 7.0 policy.  I
also
found that the new signatures included in the SR for Server Sensor did
not
appear unless I developed a new policy for 6.5.  The import of my 6.0
policy
to 6.5 doesn't recognize the new signatures.  A big pain.  I can tell
you
though that the work does seem to be worth it.  The new 7.0 signatures
seem
to be much better (fewer false positives, etc).

Hi there,

what I found I could do was derive a new policy based on one of the
old
policies.  The new policy would be 7.0 compliant but it would have most
of
the 6.5 settings including the filters etc. that you had set...  That
way
you can migrate all the old settings basically

FYI

I am having massive problems trying to import my NT based Network
Sensor 6.5
Policies to my new W2K Network Sensor 7.0 systems.

SiteProtector cant do it at all, it simply rejects my old policies
when
trying to apply them to V 7 sensors.

The WorkGroup Manager sort of imports it, but applies the policy to the
7
sensor as if its a 6.5 sensor and you see no new decodes.

I cant believe there is no migration path and I have to recreate my NS
7
policies from the beginning. Has anybody had the same experience, or
advice
they can offer?
