Virus Protection/Disk Maintnenance

[Stan]

Hello All:

2 Quick questions:

I'm in the market for a "low maintenance" virus program that I can run on
the server that will service the entire network. There seems to be quite a
few vendors out there and I'm just looking for any input to help narrow the
choices.

I'm also looking for a Defrag program for NT Server. Seems Diskeeper is one
of the few out there. Any input here would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Joe

Diskeeper is great...I use it and have never had any probs so far. As for AV
products...take your pick. I use NAI..total virus defense....thats cool you
can set it to download pdates from the web at a given interval..so in theroy
once you install and set the parameters you never have to touch it agin.

To allow registry backup and restore (after virus attack), look here:

Current commercial defraggers available for Win NT:

PerfectDisk 2000 - www.raxco.com - Schedulable, defragments pagefile
and MFT and is the only commercial defragger capable of defragmenting the
rest of the NTFS metadata ($LogFile, $Bitmap, etc...). PD2k runs on Win9x,
WinNT 4.0 and Win2k and from a central point you can schedule defrag
activity throughout. No difference in functionality between the workstation
and server version (workstation version can schedule through the network).
PD2k is a "one pass" defragger - it is designed to do a complete job in one
pass - instead of having to run over and over again like some others...

Diskeeper 5.03 - www.execsoft.com - Schedulable, defragments pagefile and
MFT but is unable to defragment the rest of the NTFS metadata. DK runs on
Win9x, WinNT 4.0 and Win2k and their requires their Server version if you
want to
schedule defrag activity through the network.

O&O Defrag - www.oo-defrag.com. Don't know much about this one.
Schedulable, defragments pagefile and MFT but don't defragment the rest of
the NTFS metadata. Just released their "Network Addition" which allows you
to schedule through the network.

Speedisk - www.symantec.com. Schedulable, defragments pagefile and
MFT but is unable to defragment the rest of the NTFS metadata. SD 5.0 runs
on WinNT 4.0 only (currently in beta for Windows 2000) and requires their
command center
software if you want to schedule defrag activity through the network.

Hope this helps!
