We did that once, then Klez hit. It seemed to infect everything. Instead we
just turned to Inoculate. Still testing, but so far it seems to work well.

You may also want to consider using directory/file exclusions with Norton.
Certain apps constantly access files that are generally never going to get
infected if your taking precautions in other levels of security.  Having
real time protection enabled on everything without considering how it may
effect speed is just what most admins tend to do, set and forget.  You can
save a lot of processor and disk time by using the exclusions wisely.

With that list of applications, the server should hang without the
Norton.  I don't think that is Norton's fault.  Rule of thumb is 40
users max if you are running light users on low overhead applications.
JDE alone is a heavy application, as is Delphi.
We had 50 users running a custom application alone and that began to bog
down.
        Just my opinion.

JDE, MRI, Kronos, Delphi, plus a bunch of in-house stuff.

We try to make the servers handle as many users as possible. In fact, if
anyone has any performance tuning tips on any of those applications,
that
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

G.

What kind of applications were you running with more than 40 users?

Have you tried getting more than 40 users on those machines? When we did
that, the servers died on us.=3D20

I'm a day late to this conversation but Norton ALWAYS gets the most bad
press and I just like to point out that I've been using NAV since 7.5
which
wasn't even approved by Symantec for TS and it has given me 0 problems.

Avoid Norton if you can? Bloody nightmare for us. We turned to Inoculate
IT.
Works great. Can set it to only look at incoming files. Helps with the
processor utilization....
