Re: Break off update services

I'm not in that office right now, so I can't look at the logs. But I can
answer some questions. It was not a specific SBS edition. We had AVG 7
Network Edition and they gave us the free upgrade to Version 8 as we renew
the maintenance every two years. Version 7 worked like a champ and I wanted
to go to 8 to keep up. I installed the update 8 which we were entitled to
under our agreement and ran into the issue I described.

From the download files on their web site, the installation files for the
SBS edition and the Network Edition appear to be the same. SBS seems to add
Exchange, but considering the expense of the different licenses, I'm not sure
it's worth it. I have an exchange scanner.

I will be trying things again. AVG suggested that certain aspects should
not be installed on a server, however I was having this with the admin
console without installing the client and their instructions were pertaining
to the client.

I am interested in this, as the one customer of mine with SBS 2003 Premium
and AVG does not have any such issues. Further, this is a complex network
with two branch offices, all of which use the SBS as the inet gateway and
update from the SBS server, not AVG's internet site. So I know that ISA
will pass the AVG traffic both ways from the SBS.

Did you purchase and install the SBS specific edition of AVG 8?

Can you reference the relevant AVG notice/advisory?

Can you find any errors in your ISA logs when AVG is installed?

What errors, if any are in the event logs on either the server or the
workstation?

What messages appear on screen?

It wasn't the AV client, it was the AVG Administrator Console and related
content.

I have tried twice now to install the AVG 8 administrator, and it breaks
internet access for everyone. After installing, no one, even the local
SBS
server can go out to the internet. Then, when I uninstall it, internet
access is restored. Wehn I looked on AVG's website, they say it is not
supported on an ISA server. So I believe my only option if upgrading
to
version 8 (version 7 worked without issues) is to run it on a different
server.

The server is running out of space and processing power. It is a 2.8
pentium 4 with 2.5 Gb on RAM, total hard drive space is 160 Gb broken
into
C
- 10 Gb D -75 Gb and E - 75 Gb.

With three instances of MSDE running, I am constantly getting allocated
memory alerts. So I was going to try and run the Update Services,
SharePoint, and ISA Server in the instance of SQL which is provided.
This
would only have one instance of SQL running and free up those
resources.

Sorry if I am jumping around here. I just want to get as much
resources
as
possible with available technology. They don't want to spend any money
right
now, so I thought this would be an available option since the second
server
is already there adn under utilized.

Suggestions?

Hi Rich:

You are cutting yourself in for a *lot* of work that most have never
found
the need for. For example, I run AVG in SBS 2003 Premium with out
issues,
and there are lots of tools and techniques for freeing up drive space
or
moving things to other drives.

In general, SBS is not really maxed out with 10 users, unless you have
too
little RAM or not enough drive space, both of which are more easily
and
less
costly resolved than adding additional servers and moving things.

However, in general, to remove WSUS 2.0 you have to uninstall R2
technologies, then, to get back the ones you want install it again
without
WSUS.

There are cleanup routines for WSUS 2 or 3:

Cleanup works on both 2 and 3 and should be run as a scheduled task.

WSUS - Release: WSUS Driver Declining Tool:

WSUS - Release: WSUS Cleanup:

http://www.codeplex.com/WSUS/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=17612


And we can help you move stuff to other drives if you would like.

I have a small SBS 2003 R2 network (10 Clients) and the resources on
the
server are getting a little congested. I was wondering if anyone
had
experience removing the windows update services and the associated
msde
server and putting it on a 2003 member server as a stand alone WSUS
server.

I also wanted to know how easy it would be to conenct the ISA 2004
to a
an
existing SQL server rather than running a separate instance of msde.

Further I am going to run my AVG network server on this separate
member
server since version 8 doesn't play nicely with an ISA server.

Any ideas or recommendations?
