Evan,
We had McAfee and replaced it with Trend two years ago (and just signed up for
another three years). Trend has been outstanding in every aspect of our
deployment (400+Wintel servers, 8000+ workstations, Exchange 2000, and gateway
protection). As for deployment - we use the Control Manager server and
distributed Master servers around our enterprise. We have up to 1500
workstation reporting to a master server. We can push updates from one central
console. SQL is required at the master server, but we already had it for
software delivery reasons. We just completed our upgrade to OScan 7, without
touching a workstation - very nice functionality. McAfee+ePO was a disaster for
us - it never worked right, and we had weekly issues with servers spinning out
of control.
Go Trend all the way...
Eric

Trying to find out how people have deployed OfficeScan to a large office area
network. I'm going to buy McAfee or Trend, so far McAfee is in my favor
because of agent based methods I have 80 offices, 1200 users (alwyas
expanding) with Symantec Enterprise A/V. They deploy as follows: 1 master
server for everything, sub servers can be deployed at other sites so clients
can pull updates from those servers, instead of across WAN links to the master
server.
Both Trend and McAfee seem to have similar approaches in setup. 1 master
server with options for deployment poitns, which is basically a location the
masrter server updates, then you set clients to those deployment points to get
their updates. I do not want clients all updating to my master server for
bandwidth issues.
My trend SE recommended I pout an officescan server in every site, instead of 1
officescan server, with 80 deployment points. Some of the functionality of
OfficeScan server requires MSDE and/orSQL, which I'm not deloying at every
site. So when I got off the call with the SE, my interest in trend dwindled
some.
I've talked to 1 person on the list who has around 1200 users per server (said
trend recommends 1000 max). He does all deployments from that 1 PC, so it's
not exactly how I plan to operate, but it shows me the SE I spoke with at
Trend's recommendation wasn't exactly necessary.
I'm debating towards Trend or McAfee+ePO, and so far McAfee is on top becaue
ePO is agent based which assists greatly in updating.

We have over 8,000 users on the whole Trend Suite.
Send me a note off list with any specific questions that you have.

Do any of the people on the list use Trend OfficeScan on client and/or server
in a wide area deployment across many offices? I'm trying to get some real
world info on large deployments.
