Title: RE: [ISSForum] System Scanner

Mike: A couple of Questions How many agents are you currently trying to scan concurrently now? What kind of instability are you encountering? As for the CLI,I really don’t think That will help with the stability issue Let me know Most problems that I have encountered have been on the Connectivity side of the equation The CLl proves well for scheduling and automating the scans       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reeves, Mike Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 8:44 AM To: 'Weiss, Jeffrey H.'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ISSForum] System Scanner   I have developed and deployed custom policies. The problem I have been running into is stability issues when running or updating large amounts of agents. Especially using the console. (Mixed results with the CLI also) I guess what I am really looking for is how many agents most people update at a time or how many agents they scan simultaneously with a medium sized policy. Should I completely abandon the console and use CLI exclusively?   Thanks,   Mike  -----Original Message----- From: Weiss, Jeffrey H.

We did this and it makes it far more manageable. Just my thoughts....

I have read through the admin and user guides but I am looking for a way to get the best bang for my buck.
