How to remove old alerts, tasks and schedules after install Managed Client

Hello,

After installing the avast Managed Client (automatic deployment over Avast Pro) I noticed that all the old alerts, tasks and schedules which we used before with Avast Pro where not removed and the old schedules are still running. How can I remove all the old stuff?

Do I understand it correctly that there used to be an avast Professional Edition installation on that machine which was later “upgraded” to NetClient - but all the objects stayed there?

Thanks

Yes there used to be an avast Professional Edition installation on that (test)machine which was later “upgraded”. The machine had custom alerts, tasks and schedules configured.

I also sent an e-mail to the avast support (Petr Chocholous), his answer was to remove the avast.db.
This is only possible after stopping the avast services. Petr also noted that a upgrade installation of the netclient does not remove any custom alerts, tasks and schedules (default behavior of ADNM). It will maybe be changed in the next version.

At the moment we have 40 avast Professional Edition installations which all have the same custom alerts, tasks and schedules configured. We want to upgrade all of them to the NetClient but removing the avast.db on all 40 workstations (different locations) by hand is :-\ I know better ways spending my time ;D

Any advice would be appreciated.

We will fix this in the next program update of avast NetClient Edition (due in approx 2 weeks).
This version will remove (ignore) all the existing settings of avast Pro it is upgrading from.
