    Antivirus for Win 2k3 SBS SP2
    « on: September 07, 2007, 09:47:49 AM »
    I have been directed to use CA Antivirus on Windows 2003 Small Business Server Service Pack 2. When looking at the information website http://store.ca.com/dr/v2/ec_Main.Entry17c?SID=40705&SP=10023&CID=0&PID=648284&PN=1&V1=648284&CUR=840&DSP=&PGRP=0&ABCODE=&CACHE_ID=0 it states "Server 2003 (32/64-bit)" as a supported platform.

    I am by no means a SBS or Win 2k3 expert. But they seem like they are similar enough. If a piece of software (virus scanner or not) states that it will work on Server 2003, will it then also function on SBS 2003? Or are the OS'es different enough that it wouldn't function correctly?

    -thanks!

      Hello Redeye,

      I am fairly confident that CA will work with SBS. I only say 'fairly' because I have a both 2k and SMS on computers, different of course :) . I havn't had a problem transfering programs between the OS's so, I don't think it will be a problem. I'll look more into it, if you want.

      Have you emailed CA, they would know better than I do ;)
      Here's the link to their customer service form...

        ilikemycomputer,

        Thanks for the reply. Their online help is better if you have an account. I talked with a salesperson about their CA Antivirus for Enterprise and the gentleman told me it was fully compatible. So as long as their salesperson is on the ball, I should be good to use it.

        Thanks all!
