Am using a pretty crude couple of batch files to do a dir against the volume, pipe that to a file. Then iterate through the file and scan each dir that is not named ~snapshot. Need to use the /NORESULTS switch on the navwnt command so that processing does not stop when a dialog is presented to the screen.

We tried NAV corp edition 7.xx, but it lacked the email notification feature (you have to buy a separate product, Symantec System Center, to do this). It also did not do scheduled scans for some reason on our NT server, but would from a workstation. Also hit the known bug that you cannot start a manual scan as long as the service is running.

Also note that in NAV5, the exclusions work, but not as I would like (thus the batch file). Even though a directory is excluded, NAV still reads each file in the directory, but does not scan it. In Corp edition 7.xx, the exclusions work properly, but we had so many other issues with it that we went back to NAV5.

rgds,

Jim

Jim,

We're currently using NAV5 to do this however, we're having to move to Corp. Edition 7.02 because of Windoze 2000, so I'm looking for another command line driven virus scanner that I can use.

On a side note, what are you using to exclude snapshots. My efforts to put ~snapshot in the exclusions have been futile.

Regards,

Larry

Larry, we are using NAV50 called from a scheduled nightly batch file in order to skip the snapshot directories.

Just curious if anyone is running a virus scanner against filers for CIFS?
