The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Enable automatic updates/deployment for McAfee VirusScan Enterprise

Asked by goodman1210 in McAfee Anti-Virus Software, Anti-Virus Applications

Tags: , , ,

First off I would like to say that my primary responsibilitis don't include antivirus management/configuration. However, the guys in charge of it on my team don't seem to know what they're doing.

We're currently running VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 on an isolated LAN that has no internet connectivity and cannot be connected. We push an image to all new PCs that includes McAfee. All of the servers are updated by regularly downloading the .dat files from McAfee's site and uploading them to the servers.

When I got here I noticed that automatic updates were not setup on the client machines or servers. We insrtucted the 2 guys responsible for antivirus to configure the software so that all client machines and servers can make use of automatic updates. We also need to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.5. After months of trying, these guys still don't seem to know how to set it up properly.  I think I know enough to set everything up on a LAN with internet access, however I'm not as familiar with the steps involved on an isolated network.
Currently when you select update now in the VirusScan console you receive the error "error ocurred while downloading file sitestat.xml. Unable to find a valid repository"

l have the ability to use one of my spare servers as a dedicated antivirus server if need be.

So in summary, please advise the best methods to enable automatic updates and perform the upgrade from 8.0 to 8.5 on an isolated network.Start Free Trial
