Hi JR, How exactly do you create a deployment package for each type of system deployment?: Desktop, ver, Sharepoint, Exchange, for type of OS (Desktop, server).
We use SOA and would very much like to do this to cater for old XP boxes. We have tried simply unticking the relevant components then wait for ‘update definitions’. then we simply download the “avast_managed.exe” package from the internal link and then tried to deploy the package on the relevant boxes.
However this doesn’t seem to work. the package “avast_manage.exe” seems to be the same size everytime. Also we see strange issues- the firewall component is unchecked, yet when installed the firewall component is ‘magically’ installed on some (not all) installations. This is even if the pc is in a managed group with the firewall shield disabled and unmonitored. On these installs, uninstalling avast, then running aswclear.exe, then redeploying avast- and presto the dreaded firewall components are reinstalled. A check of running services on these boxes confirms that the asfw* processes are all running. This is quite mysterious- firewall component is unchecked, firewall shield is disabled and unmonitored, yet the PC appears in the console with a ‘green tick’.
Any ideas how/why the firewall component is installed if it is thus disabled (and unchecked in components)?
Also what are the steps to build a custom deployment package with specific components removed?
