Hi,
We did install the console right. We have distributed Virus Scan 4.5.1 using
SMS (2.0). We have used MSI file and ran with the command line options
provided by Virus Scan setup.exe. If the virus scan console is not installed
properly, configuring the scan tasks manually shouldn't be working fine,
right? When we configure them by hand, they do get saved properly and run as
scheduled. The only problem is that we are unable to import them using
regedit in logon scripts or by double clicking on the reg file. My fellow
sysadmin working in head office escalated this to NAI just few days back.
Apparently NAI said that no customer has approached them with this kind of
problem..:-)). In any case, we are expecting some kind of workaround to
resolve this issue. Obviously it is not possible to configure the scan tasks
manually on 300 systems.
As Dave suggested, I shall try out Designer thing too.
Thanks,
-Masthan.

Ask a dumb question....but you have installed the console right?
I ask because we stuffed this up about a fortnight ago...The epolicy thing
kills the network when sending out the software to clients so we ended up
re-packaging using SMS 1.2....which worked well.
Until we realised jobs could not be scheduled because the console was
missing (real time protection was working ok, just couldn't scan the hard
disk!)....had to send out another package.
Other than that...don't know. Except I noticed NAV puts a heap of info
under Software\Intel\LanDesk\VP6 or something....very strange. Might be
Mcafee does similar in a bid to 'hide' stuff from you?

What do you mean? Importing registry is a general task. After all I am
trying to modify registry information from which Virus Scan would read virus
scan task info. We do not have Installation designer. Is there one provided
by NAI to customize Virus Scan installations?
The problem started once we started using Management Edition.
Earlier to this, the registry importing technique used to work fine.

I don't think you can manage Mcafee this way. Do you have the installation
designer thing? (can't remember what TLA they named it)

Subject: Virus Scan settings are not getting stored
Hi,
We have a peculiar problem after upgrading Virus Scan software to
the latest version ( 4.5.1). The problem is that the customized virus
scanning tasks are not getting stored when we import them using regedit.exe
tool. In our network, we had Virus Scan 4.5 SP1 configured with customized
scanning tasks, which perform scanning of local and network drives once in
every week. This we do to ensure a periodic check and cleanup of files of
all the drives of a system so as to ensure a virus free network.
Once we have upgraded the software to this latest version, we have
configured the scanning tasks as desired on one system, exported the
registry hive for this scanning task into a file. We then tried importing
in user logon scripts (this is the technique what we have been following so
far). Though the registry information is being applied successfully, the
scanning tasks are not getting stored onto the Virus Scan software. Even if
we manually double click this registry file, the scan tasks are not being
reflected on the Virus Scan software.
Please do let me know if anybody has faced this problem in the past
and got a fix. I mailed NAI technical support three weeks back and awaiting
for their reply. Lost hopes, hence, here I am..:-))
thanks,
-Masthan.
