Well, the most recent was one of our servers decided to uninstall its VIPRE agent...
Again, though, on TUE (post 4275) I could not push an update nor a new agent. On WED, what I was seeing on my server console was a combination of gibberish and the fact that no agents had new defs since early TUE morning... Again, things worked fine overnight Monday. It was the early morning install of 4275 that broke stuff... -- RMc Bob Fronk <[email protected]> wrote on 03/11/2010 11:01:17 AM: > What was happening to you? > > We had 3 PCs get hosed by a Vipre upgrade from 3 to 4.
