Hi WanMan,
I have been using SAV on my NetWare 6.5 servers for about 5 years now. Though all my other machines are now defended by SEP, I have SAV 10.1 MR9 on NetWare.
SAV on NetWare can be configured to receive its definitions from another SAV server or directly downloaded via ftp from Symantec's LU servers on the Internet.
The reason that I recommend keeping the SSC is because the GUI of SAV on the NetWare server itself is extremely limited. It's far easier to configure settings and view logs from the SSC than on the NetWare server itself.
The SSC is basically just a MMC snap-in: it does not place a heavy burden on the server where it is installed. There's no a great deal of the sphisticated functionality of the SEPM built into it. You wll save yourself a lot of inconvenience if you keep the SSC and use it solely for the NetWare serevrs in your organization.
Please let the forum community know if this answers your question or if there are any additional specifics that I can help with!
Thanks and best regards,
Mick
