Remotely installed PSB 12.01 skips "side-grade" detection and action?
Dear Sirs,
A customer complains about the following problem seen with FSAV PSB 12.01:
When installing it locally on a workstation, the setup process notices, complains about and removes competing products, e.g. Microsoft Essential software, SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, etc.
When FSAV PSB is installed with centralized, remote method those "sidegrade checks" are apparently not performed and the F-Secure setup process continues merrily, leaving the competitors in place. The sysadmin is afraid this "co-habitation" may casue problems in the future.
Please give us a response for this question.
Thanks in advance, Yours Sincerely:

Dear Ben,First time, the customer tried to use the "F-Secure PSB Remote Installation Tool" but it didn't work, as seen in this screenshot. (Probably because the sysadmin is not allowed to install WINS on their Win2008R2 Server, but the F-Secure "push install" tool possibly relies on that legacy protocol to browse the AD domain?)Therefore, I recommended him an alternative:- Install F-Secure Policy Manager 12.00 as a 30-day trial- Import the downloadable FSAV PSB 12.01 build 283 package .JAR file in the PM Console- In the PM Console, re-export the .JAR to .MSI- The export wizard asks for two pieces of data: the customer's 20-digit licence keycode (in this case UJ7C-...) and the national choice for the local GUI of PSB (in this case the hungarian language)- The exported .MSI file is then placed in an Active Directory Group Policy Object (GPO) and distributed to the Windows workstations for installation.(Background information: this little-known remote installation method works because F-Secure Business Suite officially supports cross-grading to F-Secure PSB, therefore the Policy Manager Console supports importing and exporting the FSAV PSB .JAR file.)Yours Sincerely: Tamas Feher, 2F 2000 Kft., Hungary.0

Hello,
Can you please give us a status update on why PSB 12 installation "sidegrade" checks don't work when the setup package is delivered to the endpoints via GPO in .MSI file format?
Can you give u access to the latest version of the standalone "Sidegrade" tool?
Thanks in advance, Yours Sincerely:
