Dear Robert, Does this mean you aren't interested in hiring me for such a position?

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 8:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: AV! a full time job? Dear Bob, Eric mentioned that he had 1300 users. I am wondering, "How many NT Servers, or Total Servers?". How many Laptops and PCs? Wawa has one NT Server and one NT Workstation in each Store (525 Stores, and growing). The Server Farm at HQ has just over 90 NT Servers. We have 500 Laptop Users and 400 PC Users. The NT Servers are running NetShield 4.5, and are updated once a week. The Exchange Servers are running GroupShield 4.0.4 and are also updated once a week. I perform manual updates during "virus alerts", but that is not a full time position. The Client configuration is part of the standard build (both Windows 95 and Windows 2000) for a weekly update. Once setup, what else needs to be done? What else warrants another full time employee? By the way, this is not a commercial for Network Associates. I recognize that other anti virus software applications are just as easily administrated.

I disagree. Personally I think if you are a large organization you should have at least 2 people solely dedicated to keeping up with AV. It's a tough job to always be on top, and would require constant attention. Someone should be in place to be able to send emails and warn others of the hazards of virii on the horizon. If you are in such a large organization and you can afford to hire someone, I suggest you do so. In fact, I would gladly leave my position to take on an AV position in your company for 65K a year, full med and dental benefits, 5 weeks vacation, a free to use mobile phone, and sodas and snacks provided in office.

The Anti Virus software that your company selects should be "automatic" in certain respects, so that it takes care of itself (updates, scans, etc.).

Just curious what some of the Exchange Admins think. Would you consider Antivirus a full time job? I speak for both email and network/desktop. Around here it isn't, although we wish it was cause it seems to be getting neglected. We are around 1300 users right now. e- _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
