What is even more concerning is that on the PCs with the problem I've uninstalled SAV through add&remove programs and even done it manually from the Symantec manual uninstall document but each time I reinstall it those PCs have the same problem. Some of the clients are just keeping the virus definitions that were part of the install (13th Feb 2004) but some seem to have picked up an update but then stopped picking any further ones up.Īs I said, most clients are fine but a few are having trhese problems. They are all picking up their policies from the server and are displaying our customised message that pops up when the virus definitions get out of date so it's strange that they don't see there is a virus update too. The failing clients are a mixture of XP, 2000, NT and are all on different hardware so I can find no similarities there. I am experiencing two problems but this question is specifically about the clients that are failing to recieve virus definitions updates from the server. Most are working absolutely fine but some are having problems. Now, we are rolling out to XP SP1a machines, NT SP6a machines, 2000 machines - servers, workstations the lot. It is our only SAV server and therefore is running as a Primary server. I have been rolling the new clients out from our brand new server (using NT client install), running SAV 9.0. We are upgrading from NAV 7.6 to Symantec AntiVirus (SAV) 9.0 here at work.
