How do I rollout TrendMicro Office Scan Clients over multiple subnets and multiple domains?

I am rolling out Trend Micro Office Scan 8.0 Enterprise Client/Server. I need to install the clients on separate subnets and different Windows 2003 Domains to use one centralized server. The TVMS.exe utility works great over one subnet but it will only work on the subnet the server is on. What is a good roll out solution without having to login to each client as the administrator and installing using the web link? I would like something similar to the TVMS utility since it is non intrusive and the only difference to the user is the icon for Trend that pops up.

there was a set of agents that i used when using trend, and you basically have a central management server and sub servers underneath which sat in each site and dealth with those clients, this was with the corp edition though

Something to watch out for when you deploy this Trend Micro Office Scan 8.0 Enterprise messes up roaming profiles, the profiles will just randomly not work right and you will have to recreate them. It happens randomly and will continue until you either remove trend or stop doing roaming profiles. We have had nothing but problems with it and they recognized that it was a problem but have not fixed it.

Page 4-4 (adobe page 66 of 166) talks about how to setup a login script to deploy it as well.

Deployment Options, page 3-5 thru 3-7 (adobe page 55 of 166)

This document should explain all the options.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the heads up. I attempted the login script but it would not work for the users at login possibly due to the users permissions. I tested a login script with a user, the shell screen popped up and nothing happened.

If are able to see all computers within Network Neighborhood, then Trend can install to those machines. Trend uses Global catologue in order to find its clients. There are actually 7 different ways to install Trend to clients. Once the server is installed, you should be able to go to Network Clients/Remote Install and select ALL computers you wanted to push the install to. It does the same thing as Symantec remote installer except it doesnt show the status of the install. It will show you the completion status though. I have set up log in scripts easily. Also, you can build an MSI package and install via GPO.
