Trend Micro OfficeScan 10.5 Features and thoughts

It’s almost 2 months since the release of OfficeScan 10.5. Anyone out there upgraded yet? If so, what’s your experience?
I’ve done a couple of installations and upgrades, and I’ll share my experiences:

First, what’s changed in OfficeScan from version 10.0 SP1?

- Active Directory Integration
- Smart Protection Solutions
- Security Compliance
- Virtual Desktop Support
- Role-based administration
- General Product enhancements

So, what is my experience with the new features?

Trend Micro OfficeScan 10.5 Scan Exclusion Bug

If you have upgraded to OfficeScan 10.5, and are experiencing problems with scan exclusions, it might be because your scan exclusion list exceeds 1000 characters. If it does, it might cause the OfficeScan Master Service or the DBServer to crash.

This is a known issue! Ask your Trend Micro Partner/Reseller for Hotfix 1106.1

Mac OS X DNS workaround failed

The latest Mac OS X security update (2008-005) failed to fix (or temporarily solve) the DNS vulnerability in the client version of Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.4. The update solved (temporarily) the same problem in Mac OS X server, but somehow Apple forgot to update the client libraries. The source port is still not randomized (but incremented by 1 each time). So, is this really a critical problem? Or should we worry more about DNS servers behind NAT?

Read more details about how the DNS workaround failed in Mac OS X 10.5 or how the DNS Workaround Failed in Mac OS X 10.4
