LANDesk AV Week One
I've been writing documentation for the LANDesk project all day and really wasn't sure I would be able to write a new post. I really wanted to do a quick little recap of the first week using LANDesk AV. It is the first major task we have really done with LANDesk and I have to say, it has been awesome so far. No major issues removing the old AV or installing the new one. One of the minor problem comes from our old AV product not being recognized by LANDesk for auto-uninstallation. We wrote a simple in-house script that checks for the old AV and uninstalls it. It works for most of our systems, but we have had a couple problems with some older versions of the old product. Not a big problem as it doesn't affect the new AV and we are already working on a script to take care of it.
One of the coolest features of the LANDesk product is that we now see in the LANDesk console all files that are on the network that are viral or dangerous. We can also push scheduled scans out to machines as needed to make sure they are good to go. It is an awesome product and has already found about 60 possible dangers. I love how we can see the exact file and even make an exception without having to physically go out to each machine.
Anyway, I have gotta get home to pack up and clean the condo. Later.
