Sounds like that machine is already TAXED You can get a listing of all the Virus Definition Files from all the machines and check the dates (they should all be the same. Or Use the BDC Or Configure the clients to automatically update from this server (instead of Vice Versa) I know Mcafee does that. Or Create a Batch file to copy the .def and SW weekly (run it at a time when your Backup is NOT running)

Running Command Antivirus Software (CSAV) on this machine. This Machine is the Email Server (Exchange 5.5), it is also the PDC on our network and Handles the nightly tape back ups. I read the manual for CSAV for setting up an automatic update of all the deffiles and software. It suggest to use a machine that everyone logs into (PDC), at that point it will then check version numbers of the software and deffiles. IN fear of taxing this machine to much, I am looking for another solution (other than new AV software). Bottom line, I dont have the time to go around checking virus updates for every workstation. Is there a way to do this without using this server?
