McAfee, No. Burned way tooo many times by that product and they still
haven't a clue. Consider Trend Micro or even Symantec as an alternative.

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.
