Missing Requirement in software

[James Liu]

Problem
=======
I tried test deploying NAI AntivirusSoftware to this a
machine via SMS2003. The resident Antispy on the client
complained when it wanted to add something into the
startup.

Requirement
===========
We need to be able to control when and how we can amend a
list of the allowed programs or features it's allowed to
be able to automatically allow or pass. Alternatively, we
have to know how we can shut down the service temporarily.

The present beta 1 release of MSAS is not specifically targetted for running
in Enterprise/Corporate Network environments. Its best if you wait until
Microsoft releases the Enterprise Edition of MSAS with the advanced features
you are requesting.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892375 End users may be prompted to allow or
block administrative actions that originate from a central management tool
after they install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on a computer that is managed
by Systems Management Server 2003

This beta client isn't suitable for the environment. Microsoft has
announced that they will provide (for a payment!) a managed, corporate
version. Nothing more than that has been announced--i.e. no dates, no
feature list.
