Terminal Server Question

[The-One]

I currently have 2 terminal servers and 103 thin clients on my network, the problem I have is that the terminal servers both have trend antivirus installed on them so when all 103 thin clients log on its loads a 103 trend antivirus services which then uses up all my resources on the servers.

What I would like to know is, is there a way to keep the antivirus installed and still have the 103 thin clients to log on but not push the antivirus out to them and just have the server running the antivirus so it does not use up all the system resources?

Both servers are windows 2003

Thanks

Remote Desktop?

Yes it is remote desktop

The users will all have internet access, and most of them will use it through the terminal server.

Can a user screw up IE with spyware in their own profile as a user?

if your firewalls are strong enough you shouldnt need anti virus, try using a program called "blackice" its a brilliant firewall (if you can still get it) if not there are others around that are just as good. they monitor all the traffic inbound and outbound along with virus's and anything else, im using it at the moment and iv not got a single virus since god knows when.

Not a good idea. Your users are running nor PC apps, things which can introduce viruses. You need an antivirus which is active per session.
