I have a Windows XP machine set up as an antivirus server in my 2003 server
network. I can rollout the client anti virus to about 75% of the
workstations. When I try the others I get the message.."unable to detect
standard network share, ADMIN$. Can anyone help? Thanks.

A WinXP Workstation is limited to 10 simultaneous connections. For
Symantec Antivirus CE to work properly, it needs to be hosted on a
Server OS.

It's an issue with Windows SP2 firewall on those machines - if you were
to install the AV Server on the server, the server would already have an
exception to allow it to directly access the ADMIN$ share on each
computer. The server is the proper location for the AV server to be
installed, not a workstation.

If that fails, browse to the network share for VPHOME and then to the
SAV setup file, it will prompt you for managed/unmanaged and then let
you pick the management server.
