OK, thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately not at this time. Each computer on the domain has to have the protection module activated with a unique code.
Are there any known issues installing MBAM as part of a base XP image before running sysprep anf capturing the image?
I would like to install and enable protection mode as part of my base install.
I ran into this from Marcin in another thread which raised the question.
Each computer on the domain has to have the protection module activated with a unique code.Is anyone doing this currently?
Thanks!

You can use a scheduled task for this.
We ran into some issues trying to use schedule task with the "Run As" feature. More detail in this thread: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11083
If you could have a look there and comment it would really be appreciated.
Thanks for your time!

Is there any plan to incorporate something like this in the future? Some sort of console that could be used to centrally schedule scans and updates would really be useful. This and the ability to update for non-admin level users would be great. These types of features would really help to attract more corporate users.
The product is awesome BTW.

If a non-admin tries to update MBAM it will fail because of the directory it saves the definitions to is under All Users, which only admins have write access to.
This is a pretty major limitation. The main reason we purchased this was for the real time protection which becomes less useful if we can't schedule updates effectively for our non-admin users. B)

The method I used was to create a new task via MBAM while logged on as Administrator, and then edit that and set it to run when not logged on, rather than editing the individual users' tasks. In fact I removed individual users' tasks. As you point out though, there's nothing to stop users creating their own task subsequently, which might then interfere with the Administrator's task you've created.
Although this method worked when I initially tested it it does seem to have been a bit patchy in its efficiency since. The task seems to run once and then not again.
Exactly, all a use has to do is change the schedule and a task gets created for them that will fail.
I tried your method to see if it would work at least once, and the scheduled task kicks off but nothing happens. If I double click the MBAM icon in the system tray I get this pop-up: "Malwarebytes' Antimalware is already running"
Apparantly something is hung because it stayed that way over night, a reboot resolves but no update occured.

Forum,
We have found that in order to perform updates, you must be an admin over the box. We do not allow this for any user, as no good system admin should. Is there any plan to correct this in a future revision?
Answers to our other questions as to how this can be done would be appreciated.

We have approx 600 users and this is an AD 2003 network.
Thanks for you input.

I'm also trying to get Automatic updates to work for non-admin level users.
When I log in as system administrator I see a multiple MBAM scheduled tasks. It looks like it creates one for each user.
If I set the task for a limited user to "Run As" system administrator, then login as the limited user it fails. When I look at the task it is no longer set to "Run As" system administrator.
It's as if MBAM resets the scheduled task settings when it runs at the next scheduled time.
Also if the user changes their schedule in MBAM the scheduled task looses it "Run As" settings.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Great product. We have started to use it in a corporate environment and we were wondering a few things:
1. What is the minimum level of security needed for continuued use? We install as admins, but do our users have to be power users, or can they be regular users?
2. Can we control the configuration (scan time, updating time, etc.) through GPO or the registry?
3. Can we configure it to do silent installs using GPO?
4. Can we configure it to do silent updates?
5. Is there any plans for a tool that can query the status of the software, or is there a way to remotely query the status to ensure it is still running if need be?
Thanks

Thanks for the addition.
Do we need to download a new version for corporate customers? If we already have it registered, will it update itself for this new feature? Also, how do we find out the new command line switch?
Thanks!
