Ok I am going to try the group before TAC as this is an extremely
strange problem. 

 

I have a requirement for all groups called AVSignaturesCurrent-ForAll it
has worked fine for a year or so and as its name implies it is for all
users to see if their AV signatures are current (by current I mean no
older than 14 days from the latest file date).

 

The problem is that I have one student whose laptop running CCA agent
4.1.3.0 (and now 4.1.3.1) fails that check yet her definition files are
dated properly. Everything was fine one day and then the next login it
was not yet the signature files were unchanged and less than 14 days
old. The 11th all was well:

Client AV Info

Product ID:

NortonAV

Product Name:

Symantec AntiVirus

Product Version:

10.1.5.5000

Virus Definition File Version:

9/5/2008 rev. 6

Virus Definition File Date:

9/5/2008

 

The next day, the 12th, this failed and it should have been OK until the
19th.

 

I have worked on this quite a bit and after my help desk elevated it to
me being just as stumped. I have several test that should result in
would be valid AV dated signatures yet they are marked as failed. I have
uninstalled the CCA Agent and reinstalled, even with an older 3.x
version to then let it upgrade. I uninstalled the Symantec and
reinstalled and even once did not let it update so that the server will
see the 2006 signature files that are on the install CD:

As expected this failed but when I let it update and the server reported
the new signature date . . . it still failed!?!?!? - I even uninstalled
and installed AVG 7, let it update and then tried again and no luck:

What is going on? Has anyone encountered this? Does anyone have any
ideas? I am not opposed to changing my rule but I wonder why this one
student is the only one? Why are there not more if the problem is the
rule? I did an export with text for 100 lines with a filter by that
requirement and a failed status and I cannot see anyone else with
Symantec and current dated signature files - I will again go through
that export again and look at other AV software but if there was a wider
problem then I would imagine that I would have more people at the help
desk window.

 

 

 

 

Thanks
