We've got laptop users who are unfortunately granted local admin rights over
their machines. While this makes for a higher level of usability on their
end, it makes for real problems when trying to manage and maintain security
on these machines. I seem to recall there was a way to verify certain
unknowns before authenticating the user on the network and allowing them
access to file shares and other sensitive information. I realize that I can
enforce policies on the RAS side for VPN connections, but that only seems to
enforce groups, times, length of sessions, etc. I would like to verify that
the user's Anti-Virus Software is running and current (Symantec Enterprise).
I seem to recall seeing this done at a recent Microsoft Security Seminar
which focused on ISA 2004. Can someone verify that it is possible and ISA
2004 is required? I would rather know the answer before installing the
software and finding out it's not possible later.
