can you check your mirror directories? seems like it cant find the files in the mirror directory, if there is nothing, try running the mirror.exe file manually
--- End quote ---
yes i have check the folder there is full with updated files.
--- Quote ---Why the hidden: the directory you mention is a hidden folder, as the name states, the application should put its data in that directory
Avast fulfills to compliance rules according to the microsoft rules for application data (hence we are not allowed to adjust the current beta's to comply with the companies (avast customer!) mandatory rules for data placement)
Next to that, in XP a normal user has admin rights, you dont want a normal user to screw up this folder by accident :)
---- but only avast can clarify this for sure of course :D

Ok, i agree. Like what i wish it must have link for shown the logs.
I have captured the mirror setup from the admin setup. WPN would you share to me the mirror setup configuration?
wpn:
Here is my configuration for the mirror....
I am running SBC on a Win2k8 R2 machine (where the RTM will be installed some day)
I will post the wireshark dump later on.... lastnight around 2am i had another idea what could be a possible cause of the problem....
i am running the SBC server dualhomed. I have 1 internal network card (static; which i have chosen to use for services at setup) and 1 network card (dhcp) for the connection to internet.
i will do another fresh install from SBC but ill remove the second networkcard and i will use the proxy that i installed for the connection now....
if this fails then i will post the logs from wireshark (which i have to dump again then)
since ill be in meeting in the afternoon (all afternoon) it might be later tonight i will post the dump...
edit:
i did the setup several times this morning cuz of problems with files on the downloadserver side according to the (deleted)log.
i noticed that there have been different mirror sizes:
i have seen 154MB and 160MB.
Right now im downloading a mirror size 154MB.
Assuming those sizes and file errors are from updates done by Avast.

Should work with both, BP uses SSPI (windows authentication).

--- End quote ---
Not at this time, but probably in future yes. At the moment we're busy adding other tweaks that you'll see daily, compared to the progress you'll really only see once during the install...

--- End quote ---
Some customers may want to manage computers across domains on a single server. So, supposing you have MyNewDomain and MyOldDomain, you install the server into MyNewDomain but you want to manage computers in MyOldDomain as well, there is a way to achieve this.

--- End quote ---
Currently we are aiming at providing the maximum possible protection for the user. To make management simpler for the target user, we chose to hide these features and go with default installation of the client. You may remove these features by doing manual install or uninstall on the client computer if you wish.

See the above...

Not with BP, firewall will be part of BPP.
--- Quote from: wpn on April 20, 2011, 01:24:10 PM ---How will updates be done for the SBC server itself?
--- End quote ---
Re-install new packages over existing installation at least for the first release. The update itself will be quite fast. Technically, it's really only stopping the services, changing the binaries and starting the services again, nothing more to it (mirror is already downloaded, network is discovered, ...)

I mean no offense but: You (Avast) do realize that Webrep and the gadget are not actually real protection and that you force installing this into a business environment where browser add-ons and desktop add-ons are not wanted often, specially with internally used websites?
Both items are extra pieces of software which can potentially invade business (security) compliancy. That it works good for home users doesnt mean it works good in business environments, i dont mean the technical working....
Walking down to up to 200 desktops (the limit of SBC) to uninstall those items manually is killing the whole point of remote deployment, if you seriously consider to keep this out of control in the RTM version i seriously doubt this will be a serious business product.
The SBC is a point of CONTROL for the admin. If you aim at inexperienced users then a manual install is wanted without a central point of control because that will give the least problems to solve. Whats the point of a central point of control if you cant control anything...

In the current beta2 i can deploy the firewall module.... isnt beta 2 a test with BPP? if not then what is the firewall doing there? :)

I clicked on the EDIT button for the details of the standard targetted deployment job and i got several UNKNOWN ERROR notifications
In the code below is the text from all the notifications
