I've just recently moved all my servers to NOD32 from Symantec, and it's great. NOD32 just seems much more polished and I can also say that it's much more effective in keeping things out. Scan times are impressive, and there is a lot less overhead. Now, I do have several problems that I'm hoping someone in the group can help solve. 1) While I wait for the new fiscal year to get funding for licenses for NOD32, I'd like to change all of Symantec clients on the workstations from Managed to Unmanaged. Symantec helpfully suggests removing and reinstalling SAV Corporate to do so, which doesn't help Will these workstations still update with out the server component installed? Will patching the registry key to change parent server to a blank value be enough? I know SAV Corporate manually updates, but will it still auto update? I'm referring to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\Currentversion AlertDirectory Parent Remotehomedirectory and removing the server name and paths from those keys. 2) When the time comes to move from Symantec to NOD32 for around 60 workstations, is there a way to 'unpush' the Norton Corporate installations from all these machines? NOD32 pushes out, and that's fine, it's removing Symantec which is the problem. Thank you.
