Standard shield in RC1a

[nsi]

After I update the ADNM console to RC1a and I deploied Avast NetServer Edition on the same server where is the ADNM, if i open Avast NetServer, there isn't  Standard Shield provider.

In the ADNM console, Standard Shield provider is select!
Why?

Another question, where is the correct syntax for exclusions? I want to exclude some directories and some extensions from standard shield.

for example:

*\*.dwg   for the extensions
and the path that I want to exclude from Standard Shield.

thanks,
Claudio

My guess is that this is a license problem (there's a known bug like this in RC1a).

Just copy the file license.dat from <adnm>\data to <avast>\data. That should solve the problem (after reboot).

The excecptions are pretty straightforward - wildcard syntax. Like

*.dwg

or

C:\foldertoexclude\*

And one more thing (I forgot, sorry) -- you need to change the registry entry HKLM\Software\ALWIL Software\Avast\av_mgm\4.0 -> Avast4LicenseFile to the correct path.

BTW what does it show now? C:\~AVINSTL\license.dat???

Ok, now I will try this solution.

Thanks

Now the key is:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Management Tools\DATA\license.dat

Fine, so you changed it to this? And what was it previously?

[nsi]

But also the registry entry HKLM\Software\ALWIL Software\Avast\4.0 >  Avast4LicenseFile must have C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Management Tools\DATA\license.dat  or  C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\license.dat ??

Now this registry entry is:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\license.dat

thanks

Oops, sorry, this is actually the key I thought.

Not av_mgm (that's the management server itself).

In short, HKLM\Software\ALWIL Software\Avast\4.0 -> Avast4LicenseFile should have C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\license.dat and the file should exist (should be copied from Management Tools\Data if not exists).


Thanks

Ok, now it's ok.

I copied the license.dat in the correct folder, I restarted all the avast's service, and now I see standard shield provider.  

thanks a lot,
Claudio

But If I inserted some exclusions, the sensivity in the standard shield, must is custom or also with high sensivity the exclusions works fine?

[Vlk]

BTW how's everything?
How many computers do you have in the console / totally in the network? Did you see any serious problems while using the ADNM?

Thanks

[nsi]

At the moment I have 30 client.

The only problem that I have is the deployment to client (as describe in another topic).

Now, ADNM works fine.


Any news for the new build?
