Applies to LDMS 9.6 sp1

Overview

When installing a patch that runs the LANDESK AntiVirus component the AV portion would be uninstalled and re-installed.  This required multiple reboots to complete.

In LDMS 9.6 SP1 the LDAV version will be checked first.  If the engine is the same as the version on the core, LDAV will not be uninstalled and re-installed.

1. Go into Tools - Security and Compliance - Security Activity

5. Select a setting
6. Check the box for "Force reinstall of all LANDESK Antivirus componenets even if the same version is already installed"
