Jooel,

No, XP sp2 is not required.

This came about when our helpdesk started finding "alternate" AV products, so - a single UDF that could detect anything and report on everything was needed. The helpdesk tool scans the array and loads a combo-box with the short name of every AV product that was detected. Selecting a product from the drop-down displays the service status and the other parameters. If only the primary AV product is detected, the combo box is replaced with a name field.

I was a little frustrated by needing to have multiple UDFs to accomplish this, and the UDFs that existed did not return data in a consistent manner, requiring lots of "glue" code.

I was gonna bust your horns about commenting on an 18 month old post earlier, but now I see why. ;\) I might add a WMI method to this UDF so similar queries can be performed.

If you guys have any other ideas, now's the time to ask!
