2. Is there a way to identify the workstation that already have the antivirus installed and running?

Hi,
2. You can use a batch file in your login script like this:
net use z: \\ServerName\ShareName
if exist "c:\Program Files\Navnt\Navwnt.exe" z:\ShareName\logevent.exe -m \\ComputerName -s S -e 40000 "Norton exist"
if not exist "c:\Program Files\Navnt\Navwnt.exe" z:\ShareName\logevent.exe -m \\ComputerName -s S -e 45000 "Norton don't exist"
net use z: /delete
On computer "ComputerName" you will have in events a list of events 40000 and 45000 which represent what computers have or not installed Norton Antivirus.

Your NAV corporate edition should have 2 cd's. Take the second cd to the computer you wish to install it on and choose "install client edition on workstation" (or something similar).
To identify the workstations that already have it running, click start/programs and see if it is listed in there.
Good luck!

I assume that you are looking for a way to REMOTELY install the NAV Client. I do not know of a way to do this, but we utilize a methode similar to Mike's answer. We put the client install application on a Network drive and load it from the client PC's. This does require a visit to each machine.
As far as finding out which PC's are already running the NAV Client, I believe that the NAV Corporate Edition server application has an interface to 'see' all clients on the system. (unfortunately I am not extremely familiar with NAV CE management) Check the Server interface or in a last ditch effort, check the manual!
Hope this helps!
