Delegate the colo people access to their part of antivirus? It seems like a waste of money/resources/etc to run a parallel infrastructure.

Good Q John - we handle everything on the COLO servers, they just happen to be elsewhere. COLO and is are 80% Windows servers. I guess we're just unusual that we have two teams handling servers, they should just give them to one team (although that would be eliminating my job...).

Here, the same team manages the colo servers and it's anti-virus protection as well as internal servers, however, the colo stuff is all *nix and the internal stuff is all Windows, so different solutions.

They're in separate forests with a trust. We have one team that manages the colo, but for anti-virus it's my team that handles the internal servers and workstations AV. Would you manage both sites with one solution, or run two different solutions? And which team would manage the colo AV solution?
