Heh man, I just got suckered in by Symantec. I bought a tape drive and it came with a copy of BE 12.5. On the CD cover it says it is a full feature copy of BE core. I thought that was cool then all I was going to need to buy was the exchange agent. Well when I input the license key for the agent into BE install licenses keys section it tells me you cannot install agents or other options in BE quickstart edition. So now I had to buy BE core. I wanted to look into an alternative to BE but since I thought I was getting the core for free I decided it would do since we are a not for profit. ----- Original Message ----- From: James Hill To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 8:28 PM Subject: OT: Symantec Rant
Excuse me for you using the list to vent but I thought I might receive some understanding from other Symantec vicitims. Do they make ANYTHING these days that "just works". After being bent over with their hopeless AV implementation on Server 2008 (Let's break shares on the server. No servers need shares they must of thought)... actually their hopeless AV solution in general. I recall re-installing version 10 on about 24 site servers as that was their solution to an issue. But don't worry the PR fools said. Version 11 will fix everything. Yeh, it fixed everything alright. Fixed it so it may never work again. Now I'm having fun with Backup exec 12.5 and it's many "features". When renewal comes up I will gladly get rid of them. They *&$^ everything they touch these days. /end rant ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
