Does anybody know of a good centeralized antivirus suite or solution that will allow me to manage all of my virus updates and hardrive scans from my PDC rather than doing them all locally.

I can tell you about our network. All computers have by default from vendor Norton Antivirus. I found on Symantec site . With this I create a custom HostFile and I copy at all workstation. In addition I create a script which was replicated on all workstation and run at startup. How work this:
-LiveUpdate Administration Utility downloads the newest updates from Symantec (scheduled) and stores these in a shared folder.
-Host file force workstation to check for update only on network at defined share.
-All workstation at startup automatically checks for updates to that share.
In addition I built a tool with from resource kit and access to control which users abort this task.
If you have Norton Antivirus you don?t need to spend more money.

We use eTrust InoculateIT and have been very successful in updating all of our PC's from the PDC. We recieve virus updates from the Internet on a daily basis and each PC can be configured to update from your local network.
