When is the client/server offering of Windows Defender going to be offered?
I refuse to roll out Symantec 10.0's Antispyware offering on the Windows 2003
server, and push it out to all the clients.


Recently I put MS antispyware manually on 40 or so machines.

In ms antispyware there were options I could set so each user could or could
not see the progress of the scan, get prompted to quarantine items or auto
quarantine items, it was like 5 check boxes, checkboxes that improve or not
improve irratibility and convenience for the end user who doesnt want to see
a progress scan in the middle of generating an excel spreadsheet lets say.

Now I notice Antispyware is gone, and it is now named Windows Defender.
Alot of the aesthetics are different, but the most important question I have
or most desired question to be answered is: where did those 5 or so
checkboxes go that let me control if the user sees the progress of a scan, or
if they get the option to manually say yes or no to a quarantine or deletion
of a suspected malware piece, or to do it automatically in the background,
that is now gone?

Any help.



So is MS also delving into client/server for anti spyware, ie: Defender
Corporate? or anything?


Ryan.

AIUI the current Windows Defender is groomed for the consumer market.
For the corp targetted efforts seek out info on "Windows Client Protection"
which seems to be the present umbrella term

Microsoft has killed many good feutures for BETA 2 and now Beta 2 is their
own antispyware whereas Beta1 was a Giant company product.The best answer of
your question(s) you'll get if you post to the specific newsgroups for it.And
we really should get on Beta2 well because it is included permanently in
Windows Vista .
