Re: E-trust on SBS2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The install is the same except you install the admin stuff and the exchange
stuff as well. That part works fine. Just make sure you get the required
cumulative patches, driver updates, etc. and patch it right away. Next, get
the signature updates working and make sure the clients are setup to get
their sigs from the server periodically.

There is some basic setup you need to do but it's fairly straightforward.
The usual stuff - exclude database & exchange folders and processes from RT
scans, chose your scan engines, setup logging, etc. The exchange part works
well and only consumes a single licence (ie: they don't charge extra for
it).

You can also remotely install the clients from the server but this takes
some extra learning and playing.

Is the installation of the E-trust onto the SBS 2003 server any different
than the insall on the clients? and it plays well with Exchange? There
are no extra configurations or anything?

Thanks

We use Etrust 7.1 here and it works well but it can be a bear to setup --
the docs and patching procedures are not great. For patches I find
that's it easier just to use their latest "cumulative fix" unless you are
having a specific issue that a patch resolves. See
http://supportconnectw.ca.com/public/antivirus/downloads/nt/7.1/etavwinnt_71.asp
for patches.

The good news is once you've figured out all of this Etrust runs very
well. No issues at all on our SBS2003 server or XP clients (just make
sure you have the XP SP2 patch).

It also has the added benefit of NOT requiring you to pay a subscription
fee every year just to get updated signatures. The support fee is only
for phone support and free upgrades, signatures are always free until
they drop support for the version altogether.

Has anyone used or worked with the E-trust Anti-virus product from
Computer Associcates on SBS 2003?
Any issues? Any good?
