Active Directory integration

Is this planned at all?

Controlling AntiSpyware in Group Policy is a must for
corporate organisations.

The current beta of Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware is
designed for home users and does not include management
support such as GPO that is common in enterprise
environments.
Management support will be considered in the future and
there are currently no published plans or time tables for
this.

I would like to double this request for a GPO driven
solution as well as being able to control the updates
centrally to contain network usage... similar to corporate
antivirus or SUS. I would really like to see this
integrated into WUS for update and a new ADM file create
for its control. On the same breath, I this is the right
direction and a good start. It is a much needed solution
and should be a good fit in our environment of 7 thousand
mobile computers.

It would be wise for MS to expedite this. We are actively
looking for an anti spyware solution for our environment.
We would pay for it too, we also would prefer it to be
from MS and manageable from AD/GPO. Unfortunately timing
is critical. McAfee has an Anti-Spyware module due out
within the next couple of months that is configurable and
controllable through its 3.0.2 ePO server and works with
7.1 and 8.0i scanners. Plus, we are entitled to this with
our current licensing contracts at no additional cost.
Chances are, this is the way we will go unless there is
any competition for us to review.

Ditto.

A deployment route for AD via GPO would be ideal and
would be very much the boost required against all these
nasties floating around.

Many admins are now discovering this tool and every one i
know have asked the same thing: where is the AD
implementation and will it have any.

I sincerely believe that this is a route MS should
consider and therefore give it my backing.

Regards

There is a huge market out there for anti spyware. We
have more problems with spyware than virus. We've tried
a couple of soloutions, pestpatrol by CA and Spy Sweeper
by Webroot. Looks like we will be going the spysweeper
route. Nice product with deployment via GPO, good
console and reporting.

So far the only real enterprise tool is from Sunbelt
Software (http://www.sunbelt-software.com). And btw ..
they share the signatures database with Microsoft (see
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1743742,00.asp)!
Not that many false positives as microsoft though. so
we're going sunbelt route
