I'm looking for a server based antivirus solution that monitors the server and client PC's with a central management console on the server. Any suggestions?
I've been looking at Trend Micro WFBS very closely. It looks like what we need. I'll have to take a look at ESET too.
There are many things that worth learning.Not sure about this but is scores high in the AV comparatives website. http://www.bitdefender.com/business/small-business-security.html
If you have a remote office its also very easy to setup a remote update server that they can pull updates from locally. You can then have that single remote server pull from a master update server or from TM directly
I had trouble getting that to work. We are fine 90% of the time using our hub location as the main update source as the general update files are quite small. However when I went from v7 to v8, totally knocked my network out as it tried to push out that client update (still cant figure out how big it was, my guess around 70mb) to 250+ comps at once. Ended up having to pull plugs and do special routing to cut back on the load, which messed up some and they are stuck on v7 meaning we've got to go around and manually update them. :\
Interesting. Was that internally or to a remote site? If it was a remote site I am pretty sure you can setup as many TM servers as you want within your licensing numbers. My thinking would be to setup a remote server - use their migration tool to migrate all the computers to the remote site - update from there and then move them back. I did something similar initially when I installed TM at our remote site because I didn't want to have to push the install across our already overworked site to site VPN
Might be a moot point now though. I just looked and there seems to be a decent amount of control over automatic and manual updating
