“An update failed with error 800004005:Unspecified error.” zie ik in Product Log. Eenmaal hierop gezocht op internet blijkt dat dit een bekend en bestaand licentie probleem is. Hierdoor kunnen updates niet juist worden uitgevoerd op de server.
De volgende register sleutel/add zal het probleem oplossen. Deze wordt aangeraden door McAfee Support.
Register sleutel:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\McAfee GroupShield\SystemState\License\GS6]
"LicenseInfo"="0025B{${4rzU{aczTz83zR{#zJ{aczTz83zR{#zJ{+{Cz<+z>y&z$ioe{?Qy3{cy!y("
"LicenseExpiry"=dword:00000000
"LicenseType"=dword:00000004
Vervolgens services van McAfee GroupShield herstart, Update Task gestart en het systeem is weer up-to-date.

Microsoft Outlook performance kan aanzienlijk worden verbeterd indien de “Exchange Scan” wordt uigeschakeld. Vooral als er gebruik wordt gemaakt van een Terminal Server omgeving. Binnenkomd email verkeer wordt standaard gecontroleerd door bijv.: McAfee Groupshield en/of Websense.
Vervolgens is het werkstation waar de mail wordt geopend ook voorzien van een Anti-Virus.
Om de McAfee Exchange Scan uit te schakelen verwijder het volgende REG key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions /v “Outlook Scan” /f
Of via Start > Run > CMD > REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions /v “Outlook Scan” /f
Of verwerk het volgende commando in het login script:
REG DELETE \\%COMPUTERNAME%\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions /v “Outlook Scan” /f

Today with an migration from windows 2003 with exchange 2003 to Windows 2008 with exchange 2007 and McAfee Groupshield 7.0 we had the problem that the sync slow was.
We have tried alot but when we stopped GroupShield everything was fast again.
So when you use exchange 2007 with McAfee GroupShield 7 and everything is slow just remove McAfee GroupShield and everything is fast again.
