We need suggestions for anti-virus. We have an administrative lan, Server 2003 (Exchange, SQL, licensing = 40 cals) with 50 pc's. I'm evaluating the installation of another lan for the student labs (150 pc's). I have available the old lan OS (BackOffice SBS, 35 cals), and I'm planning to implement it in a server at the labs, to manage the antivirus software. Please, submmit the cheapest solution to be implemented for this two lans. Does the 35 cals limit affect the total of 150 pcs? May I use per server or per seat?

Norton Corporate Antivirus 9.X with Exchange

Covers both servers and workstations and your Exchange server.

Has live update to always keep definitions current and the nice thing is, once setup, its very low maintenance.

I agree with CG IT. You can deploy from one server or worksation to all other computers making deployment a sinch.

As for the cals, you have a problem there. Simply put, for each computer that accesses the server you need a cal. So, if you plan on putting 150 workstations on the domain, you will need 150 cals.

Good Luck!
