Re: Using IFS for Antivirus Updates to PC's ? -- MIDRANGE-L

The neat thing is that your central Windows server could pull things down to the IFS using, perhaps, a mapped NetServer file share. Best of both worlds. The iSeries just looks like any other drive on the PC. So things are stored on the iSeries but look like something on the Windows box to everybody else.

In his scenario, it would be manual.  If he was running a windows server
(this is how it works for symantec) you would have a central server that
pulls down updates and then your PCs would check that server for updates,
like with liveupdate.

Obviously since you can't run windows program on the iSeries, you wouldn't
be able togo that route.
