RE: Anit-Virus Software for Exchange
HOWEVER... If you do decide to try GroupShield from Network Associates, do NOT, repeat NOT, test it out on a server you care about. Do it on a test server that you build just for the purpose, on a separate network and in a separate Exchange organisation from your production environment. If you can arrange to do it on a separate continent (or better still another planet), that would be even better. ;) Seriously... having looked at several products, GroupShield is the only one that causes lasting damage. You'll spend weeks trying to rid your organisation of it's left-overs (changes to your organisation forms library, just for example) if you try to uninstall it. GroupShield sucks. It's terrible. It is truly awful software. Frankly, it makes Lotus Notes/Domino look like a pretty good piece of code in comparison (one of these days I'll get around to writing up my Why Notes/Domino Sucks web site, but I'll need to find an ISP that gives me more than my current 100Mb of web space first to be sure I can fit it all in... G). My personal favourite Exchange AntiVirus product is ScanMail. ScanMail is cool. It's completely reliable. It caused me no problems at all in three years. In THREE YEARS (yes, that's thirty-six months), I didn't have any reason to call for support - not once. It just installed, worked well, and caused me no problems. I've heard similar reports about Sybari's Antigen, though I've never tried it myself. I deployed ScanMail to eleven servers spread across a slow WAN and eleven separate countries in just under eleven minutes. It took me four days and approximately twenty calls to NAI support to get GroupShield just to install on one Exchange server (OK, the first ten installs were quite smooth, but FOUR DAYS to solve an installation issue on the last one??? Go figure...). I used GroupShield years ago. It sucked then. I was forced to switch from ScanMail back to GroupShield recently against my better judgement (Enterprise licensing deal... I couldn't persuade the pointies that the free software thrown in with the big desktop AV software deal was worth exactly what they were paying for it). In the six weeks since then, I have had at least DAILY dealings with NAI support. And every day, I find a new reason to wish I was still using ScanMail. -Original Message- From: Scott Schnoll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 December 2001 19:16 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Anit-Virus Software for Exchange RE: Anit-Virus Software for ExchangeI vote for Trend Micro's ScanMail.
