RE: Symantec AV reporting metrics.

I am running Reporting server without any problem on version 10, and 9
servers.  The agent installs and reports back to the reporting server. You
may need a special group with 10.1 for the reporting server only, but the
reporting will work with the lower version AV servers ( agent will not
install on NT systems)

Sekure and all,

Thanks but we don't have version 10.1 and unfortunately, I have to find a
way to report with the versions we have. I may suggest to upgrade but that
will not be possible now - IT Ops folks and other IS Managers will be
difficult to convince - given the heavy IT Governance and change process we
have in place.

We currently have version 8 in few sites, version 9 and 10 in the majority
of the sites.

Paul, your pointers are more than welcome!!!

Thanks,
Serge

Symantec Corp AV 10.1 has a reporting server module, which provides
pretty pictures for lots of these metrics.
