I am looking for any resources on how to update antivirus over a windows 2000 network. we have one sever as as domain controller and also exchange server. I am still in school learning about networks but was hoping someone can point me in the right direction on anything that i can read to explain how to do this

thanks
 
depends on your AV solution. With Etrust (7, I think) you can set up a "redistribution server" that all other connect to and download from it locally.
 
Depending on Budget and network size take a look at Panda Antivirus. They have the best Exchange Antivirus solution IMO. They also have desktop client support as well. The client machines as well as the client running on the Exchange server are all distributed from a single server that updates itself and then updates its clients in realtime or at whatever interval you set.
 
McAfee has its ePolicy Orchestrator which I use to update 500 PCs and 30+ servers. Central SQL-based repository with McAfee as a backup ensures updates are pushed to clients within 10 minutes (or whatever time you set) of a dat update release.

Used this as well on another clients network. Much less costly then Panda and I can say that it does work quite well. Only thing I have seen is that pushing the client sometimes takes a while to start. Sometimes up to 15 mins. Other then that I can't say anything bad about it.

We use TrendMicro Officescan, you can set up an http server and connect to it from anywhere, having full control over automatic or manual updates, forcing out updates, force selected or all computers on the network to do a scan, etc. Pretty nice.

The package also came with Scanmail for Exchange
 
I use norton antivirus corporate. You setup a server to download the updates and it pushes them over the network to all the managed clients.
