Group,

We have run Trend Micro's OfficeScan Corporate for a few years (and some
other products) and have been very pleased with it (we are on v 5.2).
Question about laptops - we have a few loaner laptops that hardly ever
connect to our LAN, but they do regularly dial up the net via Earthlink.
OfficeScan corporate has a "mobile" mode - the laptops go into this mode
when there is no LAN connection.  Mobile mode seems to require our
OfficeScan server to be on the internet to enable updates (grumble).

I sure would like to get these things updated with virus sigs when they
connect.  There is probably a way to punch a hole through our firewall - but
a better solution is to just connect to Trend's update servers.  And I am
not gonna put our update server on the internet, it stays behind the
firewall.  

I suppose we could get 3 copies of NAV2003 but we loose central control.  Is
there a way to get these things to update from Trend when they are in mobile
mode?  Is there a better way?  Trend has no newsgroups and I could not find
any info on groups.google or here.

Thanks,
