In response to the TrendAV... NAI's VirusScan works in a similar fashion. We can maintain our own update sites internally and have the clients update themselves automatically from those locations (ftp). NAI has a product called ePolicy Orchestrator that would allow us to deploy and manage VirusScan to a greater degree, however at the time we deployed VirusScan (4 years ago), this product was not available. Because of that, we have had to manage settings manually. Ideally, we would be able to move to the ePolicy Orchestrator, but not at this time. Management has decided at this time that I can have either ePolicy Orchestrator OR SMS so the choice is a no-brainer. (Do you ever feel stuck in a quagmire?)
