Re: TrendMicro Client-Server Security Questions



Hi Richard,

In an SBS environment, you've got a messaging platform bundled in (Exchange). Going with the CS product doesn't protect that portion of your environment. If you are to select CSM (client/server/messaging) you would get mail security protection, which I'd call essential in an SBS network.

Like others in the thread, I manually install. I've pushed out to Vista systems with (current version) 3.6, and you will want to look at the Administrator's guide for the product and catch the instruction to enable file sharing and start the remote registry service in order to enable the push authentication out to the Vista system.

Cheers,

Jason

I am looking at adding the TrendMicro Client-Security program (does not
include Spam component - Client-Security Messaging) to my SBS 2003 installs.
I see alot of good reviews by others and their pricing is very nice compared
to Symantec, Panda, Mcafee and CA. I have downloaded the trial and have
installed on my SBS Server and am working on the clients but when I go to
install the clients (Windows XP) via the web interface I can remotely install
but it wants a user name + password. I am a domain admin so I provide it
with my credentials but it does not work. I also did it with another XP
client and it told me to disable the file share on the client.

This is not brain surgery and should be extremely easy to centrally push
this out to my clients. I don't want to depend on adding it to a login
script that the user may/may not follow. Also, would that user not have a
problem do an install via script if their are not an administrator on their
XP machine?

Am I missing something? What User Name + password does it want? One last
point, how can I have the client display an icon in the system tray so the
user knows that Trend Micro is activated?

Thanks and any advice/reviews on the product would be greatly appreciated.

-Richard K
