![]() I would discuss the situation with the Customer. If the system really is that critical, there should be some kind of failover in place, with more than one physical server and a means to take a server down for maintenance without affecting business continuity. Done properly, business IT is stress-free and lucrative. You're setting yourself up for a lot of pain and hassle with little reward. This is not the way to do business IT support. If (or rather when) the system is out of action due to a lack of maintenance or security patching, in the customer's eyes at least, YOU will be the one to blame. I would simply refuse to provide support if maintenance is not possible or practical. So when are software patches and urgent critical security updates installed? We disable it.Ĭlick to expand.So it's a piece of junk, yet it's so critical to their infrastructure that it must run 24/7? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Another option you can enable, or disable. Same with the firewall.as with many other modern AV programs, BD has an option to provide a software firewall.to leverage, or even take over, the firewall duties from Windows. We do, we let our RMMs patcher handle this. So.I'd go into that and disable that module. The version of BD your client is running has that option. Since, logically, antivirus.and patch management, compliment each other to make for overall better security. So, many modern antivirus programs also have options to manage patch management. ![]() I have quite a familiarity with a lot of AV products on there, and we've resold a good amount ourselves, BD became and has remained my favorite, the least problems, and most effective of all that I have used. For many years it's been in the top group over at, and use it across their fleet of clients. I'm so done with this crap.Ĭlient is probably insistent on it because it is one of the best AVs out there. I feel like my only option is to set up a scheduled task where it runs the gpudate /force command every 60 seconds. Windows just ignores it until I run a gpupdate /force command. Does BitDefender constantly check for the ability for Windows to update and then undo whatever Group Policy changes there are for Windows Update? It's worth noting that if I go into the Group Policy editor the policy stays the same. I've never encountered this and it seemed to go away when I removed BitDefender. If I do a gpupdate /force command the settings will return to normal but after a few days, the piece of junk will restart and lose all my client's work. I have updates set to OFF so the piece of crap doesn't restart in the middle of my client's work, but this server just ignores the Group Policy settings. The problem is, Windows Server 2019 will not keep the Group Policy settings when it comes to updates.
