Re: "gelding" NIS?
my first instinct is to suggest that you forget it.
just pass on it.
you even said yourself you are not a NAV fan.
so why let 'free' skew your thinking?
coming from a NAV fan, i still say, given the complexities of what you are proposing, don't even bother

said by boblandy :coming from a NAV fan, i still say, given the complexities of what you are proposing, don't even bother really? it's that hard to tell it not to use the other components? i have little experience with suites except as a beta tester for a large, shall-remain-nameless-due-to-nda firewall company, and there, you can pick and choose among the components. if i'm forced to use norton's firewall, etc. i will pass, but i would have liked to give nav 2005 a run.
thanx, boblandy, as always, for your take on this!

Normally the NIS firewall and NAV setups are different. You can actually browse the CD (if it's a CD) and pick out the NAV installer. Normally Symantec's suites have a common interface, and their components (firewall and anti-virus in this case) "plug-in".
Post-setup is a bit different. Even though I could isolate, and install NAV separately, getting it to work properly has been a different story. It may just be my bad luck with the consumer products of Symantec. Their corp AVs are by far more reliable (hmmm...).

my SAV license is for 8 with unlimited updates but not upgrades, and was trying to save a bit of $ by not having to upgrade it. after the aggro i've had with dell over this machine, i just hated to not get whatever i could from them . but headaches (i should say 'more headaches') i don't need.

If you mean installing from nav.msi, then it won't work in the newer versions.

said by angelique :Just checked add/remove software in windows control panel and it gives you the option to uninstall all or just portions of NIS. Failing that, there are ways to grab a copy of the installation media and legally obtained key. I'll leave the semantics to you, Dell, and Symantec  . |
