That's true Rick. I personally set a policy to remove the process from the
RUN key on all my deployments, but customers are not always comfortable
with that, because it means that you're disabling real-time scanning. I
guess you could then run a Scheduled Task an an Administrative user to
execute the PccNTMon.exe process. But I've not tried that.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

But that's why we've got group policies.

In your TS server OU group policy under machine configuration > windows
settings > security settings > file system, and add file > pccntmon.exe.
Just set the ACL on pccntmon.exe to admin read/execute only and remove
users.

It's also a great way to get rid of stuff like the Altiris agent,
ctfmon.exe etc on your terminal servers.

regards,

Rick

  I don't know about that. There were definitely some engine issues with
  ServerProtect that caused some issues over the years, but it's a lot less

  intrusive than OfficeScan. OfficeScan runs the PccNTMon.exe process in
  every session, which is its version of the real-time scan monitor. In my
  opinion OfficeScan uses more resources overall. I guess it depends on
  your
  particular environment as to whether or not this really matters.

  Cheers.
