Hi scythe944,

I talked with wpn about the removal process of old avast! 4.8 protection a few days ago. Basically avast! Business Protection should support some kind of upgrade for that, but since that is not supported (yet), you might try a half-automatic way.

  1. Deploy avast! Business Protection clients.
  2. Remove password protection from the clients by deploying this setting to the existing ADNM-connected clients using the ADNM computer catalogue.
  3. Remove the old 4.8 net client using msiexec (check uninstall string of the registry) silently by deploying this command by the domain group policies.

As far as I understood from wpn, both clients should work together on the same machine (haven’t tested that yet). At the moment I see the above steps as the only option available at the moment. Another way might be to have a more sophisticated batch script, which first uninstalls the old version and then installs the new version.
