I just upgraded everyone to VirusScan 8.7 using ePO4. The result was Scanotlk.dll could not be installed ot loaded. This was not what I wanted to see when I did the upgrade. So a friend M. Jacquard (CISSP and a great guy to boot!) gave me a fix...
The problem is: Outlook caches registry info on plug-ins in a file named extend.dat. The path was changed in 8.5 to "C:\Program Files\McAfee\VirusScan Enterprise\Scanotlk.dll" and extend.dat is out of sync with the registry settings. You can delete extend.dat and Outlook will recreate it the next time it starts. I just added this to our GPO login script for the duration of our roll-out: ----------Copy the text below into a bat file---------- C: cd %UserProfile%\LocalS~1\Applic~1\Micros~1\Outlook\ del extend.dat exit ----------Copy the text above into a bat file---------- MAKE SURE NO WORD WRAP IS HAPPENING IN YOUR SCRIPT USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
