Tell me please, where can I find documentation on the advanced settings?
I installed the product on 200 computers and a need to description of the advanced settings.
And what exactly do you need to change?
I need to change many settings to optimally configure the antivirus to different computers under different conditions.
I do have a habit to be able to control my officially purchased products.
Как-то так.
GSX you can download the installation and admin configuration guide from avast website
here is the link if you can not find out from the web:
for Business Protection http://www.avast.com/business-protection#tab7
for Business Protection Plus http://www.avast.com/business-protection-plus#tab7
There is no description of the advanced features of this document
I am very uncomfortable to control advanced functions without having to hand the documentation
For example I need to block an overdue tasks start.
What is responsible for setting this option? Performactiononstartup?
I’ll have to ask questions at the forum about every setting?
I am also looking for the expert settings documentation. This due to the fact that the company I work for has local build application which seem to fail with standard settings of avast. We are running BPP but have nearly all features turned off as our programs fail to run.
With the amount of clients we have I simply want to be able to review expert settings to get the best balance between workable/cost efficient and good user experience.
Please do not ask us what we need to know. Please provide a list with expert settings and a simple explenation of what it does.
For instance:
avastcfg://avast5/Common/ActionOnPackedFile
Which options are available and what does it do. ( I assume it is for packaged files but I don’t have a dropdown of some sort to change the options so I need the commands available)
This goes for all settings.
Hope you guys can help us. GSXR and more people on the forum request this.
regards
Lennert
There is a UI option for the archive processing - at least in the new version of the program (announced as RC on the forum at the moment).
The raw settings are internal values and their availability / meaning can change any time (theoretically even during virus definition updates) - so it’s risky to use them. As far as I know, there is no documentation.
My suggestion for the BP guys would be to remove that section altogether - it can do more harm than good.
As for the application that fails with BPP installed - what exactly happens? What are the turned-off features? Have you contacted the support?
If there’s a conflict, it should be fixed somehow… without disabling protection features and lowering the security.
Thanks.
Dear igor,
it is a .net application which resolves multiple connections and websites. As soon as the script engine is on it fails. And again, if it does more harm then good then it might be a good idea to change that part to advanced features with UI based programming.
But even if this is changed when can we expect a release. Not an RC as we are in production off course
Well, after the testing of the RC. 
… Really ?
You really are Einstein are you not ?
Now we have two useless posts
You don’t have to be that aggressive.
Just let us know in what settings you are interested and we will give you the equivalent in the expert settings. 
all of us know with the manual guide will help and more use full, but mostly there is a trick or tips maybe we can share to you (robokill)
just tell us what you need and maybe people in this forum can share the experience or help you out from your problem.
Sorry, but I know how releases work and I try to get information not posts that we can all think of.
For instance to give an example.
I had a user recieve an .zip file through mail and it wasn’t scanned why I have the incomming mail scanner online. I looked at the exper settings and saw that the “avastcfg://avast5/Common/ActionOnPackedFile” its stated on: onlyfile
Is that like a setting where it only scans the top file and not the contents?
No, it’s not - whether archive content is scanned depends only on the settings of the particular packers.
Are you saying the console doesn’t have a page where you can configure the enabled packers for various shields?
Yes , but I am a good admin with extensive experience.
I support the idea of making advanced options devoid of graphical user interface - a good admin will deal himself, but a bad admin is better to not set them
I’ve learned 90% of these settings and use them to actively
but sometimes the documentation needed
As far as I know, there is no documentation.this is very bad you will lose sales
My suggestion for the BP guys would be to remove that section altogether - it can do more harm than good.this advice you are giving a bad service this will be the last time I buy avast I will NEVER buy a product that I can not control by myself
As for the application that fails with BPP installed - what exactly happens? What are the turned-off features? Have you contacted the support? If there's a conflict, it should be fixed somehow... without disabling protection features and lowering the security. Thanks.I want to be able to manage the program for which money is paid it all
onlyfile - try to remove only packed file from archive. if fails - do nothing
filearchive - try to remove only packed file from archive. if fails - remove the whole containing archive
wholearchive - always remove the whole containing archive
Thank you GSRX!
Like GSRX explains this one setting. It would be good that we can do all settings.
Igor,
I don’t hace a seperate page for that? I have a page where I can enable or disable shields but I cannot make specific settings there. Its just if its on or off.
Example. We have clients with Outlook 2003 talking to an Exchange 2010 server. When the standard mail shield is active all HTML mail is emptied when send out. So I used expert settings to disable the outgoing mail setting.
I can remove it from my local client to test a setting but not on the admin console ?
/EmailShield/EmailScanner/Scanoutbound
Hey GSRX I did change that setting but that is in the expert settings and not in the standard admin console. And as Igor sayd that we shouldn’t use the expert settings so I am wondering what he can give us to chance this setting.
Hi Robokill, how many client you have? if you need more detail application try the AEA (last version is call ADNM) but it was just an RC not release yet.
AEA or Avast Enterprise Administration was more powerful and have an advance setting.
This version is waiting by all avast business users admin, hope avast can release this version as soon as.
