SBS2008-Security Warning-Virus Protection-Computers Cannot be Quer

1st Problem: In Summary Network Reports that I receive daily, I get a
Security warning message. When I go to the Security tab in SBS Console I see
under Virus protection for file system:
- Client computers that cannot be queried: 3

Background:
a. Antivirus software: Using Vipre Enterprise 4.0.4301 (latest version)
from Sunbelt Software. All computers are reporting to the Vipre manager as
active with latest updates.

b. Client computers: Mostly Windows 7 and Vista, but (2) XP-64bit and (1)
XP-32bit clients can’t be queried. Other XP-32bit clients are reporting OK
to the SBS Console, so it may be a client computer setting that needs to be
adjusted.

c. SBS 2008 setup: This was an SBS swing migration from an SBS 2003 server.
Probably not relevant.

Question 1: How can I get rid of these warning messages since I can see in
the Vipre manager that all is well with all the computers in my network?
===================================

2nd Problem: In Summary Network Reports that I receive daily, I get a
Security warning message. When I go to the Security tab in SBS Console I see
under Client computer firewall:
- One or more computers in the network have the firewall disabled:
- Client computers with Firewall disabled: 1
- Client computers with an unknown status for the Firewall: 4
Question 2: How do I find out which computers have the unknown status and
firewall disabled, and how do I correct this?

Hi;

You should probably ask in the SBS 2008 group, instructions below. Note
that MS has announced the demise of this platform for their official groups,
and are moving entirely to forums. There is a NNTP bridge for these forums,
two actually, the official MS one and a comunity one, to be found at:

SBS 2008...
http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/arch...ewsgroups.aspx

Official MS Bridge - Note two required.
http://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums/

Codeplex nntp bridge - only one required.

Guys you are using a blog post pointing people to the SBS 2008 connect
newsgroups that are going away as well.

www.sbsforum.info is the home of the NEW forums.

You have a dcom/wmi issue with those XPs

I'm glad you are saying that Susan
I was wondering also, since I thought it was going away

I've redirected SBSRepair.com to the new forum also.
I don't know which one we should keep?
(But IMO just as long as people get there is ok.)
Too bad the dot com on yours was taken
it would have been good.

Russ
PS oh SBS2008.com redirects their also now
If we can get people to all move to one place it would help everyone.
