how I never understood how. This is what I have 2003 server; Vipre 4.0. We had two clients (two different offices, and clients). We wanted to include in that same server, the one client with vipre perium to be managed int he same console as our other client with viper enterprise. We could, so I created a VM machine on that same box just for vipre premium.
Know we would like to add other just enterprise version of vipre to that same console, (i.e. other sites, to this console) so we can manage from this console. And just add update consolse at their offices. ( we did get the update server setup for enteprrise at the one office), and the vipre console ont he server to work that worked fine. But WE want to do MSP. ALso I had a hard time, to understand how I can install vipre console on my laptop, just so I can remote and manage the machines, I don't want to be a policy server just management, like scan or change settings. Any idea>?????
