Here's the thing that really
Here's the thing that really bothers me about this: Symantec Protection Suite - Small Business Edition contains both Endpoint Protection and System Recovery. In fact, Symantec was really clear in its marketing that this product was designed for small businesses without IT support.
Somehow, the technology exists for Endpoint Protection to push out code to the clients.
I just don't understand how System Recovery can't seem to use similar technology to push out the agents to the client desktops.
Would you like to reply?
