Deploying Windows Defender

I'm in charge of deployment at a small university and I want to deploy
Windows Defender as part of my spyware protection suite. I'd like to just
send the .msi to a restore partition I created on the remote computers and
execute it quietly remotely. Does anyone know if the Windows Genuine
Advantage thing would stop it from installing? We have volume licencing for
Win XP Pro. I definately don't want to have users validate. That would be a
helpdesk nightmare. Anyone have any experience with it?
 
Q: Does anyone know if the Windows Genuine Advantage
thing would stop it from installing?

A: No .

Tip (personal opinion) >>> The Validation will not be nightmare if your
Windows is legal :)

I would think not..\
I would also not push a BETA out to a bunch of machines.

I second that and in a University setting, I would think that doing so would be contrary to
Configuration Management standards and/or regulations.
