Still gotta do my remote db testing, tho houdas already confirms its working good...
I have been playing around with the installation i did yesterday and found 1 point that should be fixed for the business side.
when doing an uninstall, avast pops up the website with the question why you uninstall the product.
In a rights protected environment (domain) this popup is hidden by a system message (interactive system detection) and doesnt finish the removal with a reboot until someone pushes the finish button or manually reboot the computer.
i will be editing this posting if there arent too much postings behind it when i find more things (good or less good
edit:
explanation of my test (copy of production) setup:
im re-using the avast db
instance from ADNM. Therefor i had to do the following:
1) Change DB authentication from sql (adnm requirement) to windows integrated (sbc)
2) Turn on named pipes
3) add the SBC host to a (domain) local group so it could connect to the server.
5) during installation i got the error that the database AVAST_SBC_DB didnt excist, so i had to make the DB myself.
5) continue installation successful.
I am sure that when the remote SQL instance is brand new, this would be running without any issues.
I will test this later next week when i have time to build up a complete clean test environment.
(love virtualisation)
In the components i removed antispam/firewall. When editing the group properties from the default group i can still monitor those, shouldnt be possible since its not there anymore?
using exchange 2010 server, setting the detail during setup, didnt work.
When i look into the advanced settings in the console, the strange this is however that the FROM EMAIL ADDRESS is not configured, which i did fill in during setup. I also said to enable SSL which was not set either.
After setting those 2 in the advanced settings, running the reports job still failed (havent found out yte where i can find that error message for the details).
