Re: Very strange problem

Hello JackH,

As far as i know Symantec has its own deployment/control software for installing/updating. So i suggest to use this way, instead of software installation with GPO.

Did you also test it with a manual installation of Symantec? Does it happen that way also?

Best regards

Hello,

Windows 2008 domain

I have a standard image that is in the testing phase. I have several
software package that are deployed via GPO and all work fine until I
deploy the antivirus package. At first I thought is was the symantec
client causing the issue. I am now testing with Trend office scan
client. now, I can not determine if the virus software is definately
the issue.

Here is the problem. The machine will run fine for hours and appears
to "break" after the virus software is isntalled. I will receive
errors with office stating that certain dll's cannot be found, chkdsk
cannot be found, etc. Sometimes on a reboot XP will tell me that the
registry has been restored. The network connection will be gone. I
will also get memory errors.

How can i go about narrowing this down more??? Could it be something
with a group policy that is causing this??

This is driving me crazy. I did have the hard drive and MB replaced
on the machine.
