Re: Centrally managed antivirus

Thanks Lukas.

Buying 5 licenses _initially_ is no big deal, as long as we can buy them
singly after that.

When you speak of administering via Group Policy, this means the PCs/servers
must be joined to the domain, correct?  Our sales reps laptops have never
been joined to the domain.  Those laptops will soon be Win7 Home Premium
which I don't think _can_ be joined to a domain.  In any case, as long as
there is a central admin server, there's a way around that.
