Yep it's a goner for us too.  In fact we have pretty much jumped ship on
Symantec as a whole.  BUE going to Commvault, Symantec AV going to ESET,
management may be less intuitive but at least it works and doesn't
require a datacenter to run it.  It will be a year or two before we have
them phased out of all our clients.

Strike 1 - Outlook attachment checking is seriously flawed and has to be
disabled, however if you disable it and the add-in loads then you get an
attachment error.  Resolved by having it only check certain filetypes
(bat/vbs). This is talked about a lot in forums.

 

Strike 2 - I found 1-2gb if .tmp folders/files in the program files \
common files \ Symantec shared \ virusdefs folder. Apparently this has
been happening and is well known.

 

Strike 3 - If you have java 1.06 the deployment console wont work you
have to remove all the java version and let Symantec install it for you
through the web interface.  Updating afterwards to 1.06 seems to break
the console getting an app notinited. Didn't find any complaints about
this but I didn't look too long.

 

Thanks and enjoy your rollout as I have J
