Terminal Service session won't Do Norton System Scan?

[screamware 0]

I cannot do a system scan or any scan at all on a Windows 2000 Server Box thru Terminal Services. This Server has no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Can anyone help? When I hook up a monitor I see the norton Shield in the tray, but I can't in a Terminal Service Session.

 

Thanks in Advance,

 

David

I know of 2 AV scanners that wont work in Terminal Services yet they will when consoled in .... Sophos AV and Command AV

 

You might be experiencing the same limitation.

How about using VNC when you need to initiate a manual scan? Here's a url, if you need more info, http://www.realvnc.com.

Thanks for the link, checking that out now... Also heard that TightVNC is another good VNC port.

What version of Norton do you have on the server?

 

I got NAV Corp both 7 & 8 on different servers and I can open the application by running it from the startmenu and from there do a full scan.

 

The shield is not in the systray but the realtime protection is still active.

I downloaded a "testvirus" just to make sure.

i agree with toby

my main server for nat and antivirus is accessible by monitor mouse and kb but i never use it that way. The sheild doesn't show up with TS but i just load the porgram off the start menu.

 

and toby where do you get a test virus from

i like that idea

allways good to test and make sure it is all working properly.
