Thanks Colin,

I will review the product capabilities and let you know what i think of the product.

Does anyone knows an approx. price on this product ?

If you go to that link - the first page does only show BE 12.5
Click Download Now
Then I agree
Then enter your forum login and password and click Login
The last page should show you 6 Download options - the last one is for BEIM

Did you download the specific BEIM link in the location I gave you - there should have been more than one download to choose from, get the wrong download and you probably got the full BE 12.5 installer instead of BEIM.

Note BEIM for 12.5 does support BE 2010

Colin,

i have a license for the 12.5 edition which i upgraded to the 2010 version.

in that in mind - by what you are saying - this should be part of the installation as an option to use evaluation - i've run the installation again but the option to evaluate the BEIM isn't there.

so we are back where we started - no source file to install the evaluation.

I think you can download it from the 12.5 Trailware site:
https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/offer?a_id=51792

If you get asked for a login use the same one that you use to logon to these forums (it should work)

I have not even installed so don't know how to use it - if you do intend posting forum questions though I'd suggest you start a new thread about BEIM instead of continuing this one

Also with regards the limitatiions of where you can use the Altiris Management Platform (and therefore BEIM) - I believe a new version of the Altiris components is being planned - so would expect a new BEIM not long afterwards.

Colin - that's tool sounds prefect for my needs.

the problem is that i can't seem to find a trial for this (anywhere).

the place this tool is mentioned is in this link :

http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/enterprise/other_resources/b-solution_brief-bews12.5_addon_infrastructure_manager_09-2008.en-us.pdf

Do you have a link to the Trial ?

Thanks,

Noam

Looks like there is another possible option "BackuP Exec Infrastructure Manager" - more info in link on this page:
http://www.symantec.com/business/products/components.jsp?pcid=pcat_business_cont&pvid=57_1

This is an Altriris based option that I have not yet used and I believe might not be that easy to configure. Also pending the next version of the Altiris management platform, it has a lot of limitations on what operating systems it can be installed on.

I did post an "idea", another question on the matter ;

i understand that there is a working solution for the AV, and that the teaqm which developed this sulotion encouterd a problem adapting it to the BE, my question is if they encounterd a problem, why not put in the effort and fix it.

I mean if the sulotion was developed in the first place it means Symantec allready understands the need for this kind of sulotion for its customers.

Unfortunately at this current time I can't confirm any form of centralised update management - which is why i asked you to post in the Ideas section so that we can get some figures to justify business needs
