We've been able to package automated silent installs of NAV CE. The
automated install will remove old verisons of NAV (consumer versions, maybe
corporate).
You could deploy the client software with the GRC.DAT file that would make
the client managed. Once it is managed, the client should show up in the
Symantec Console. Maybe at that point you could register the NICs?
There is probably a way that you could do it ... include that script I sent
a few weeks ago for acquiring the MAC address of a Windows PC, and package
that into the NAV distro. Have it run at the end of the installation, and
fire off an e-mail to your netreg or somethign with tier MAC address in the
subject.
Pretty klunky and ugly, but it's all I can think of :)

Gustavus Adolphus College is a residential college with about 2400
students. Our dorms are wired with 1 port per pillow. A large number
of our students bring their own computers to campus.
When a student plugs their computer into the network for the first time,
they get an IP address that redirects them to a registration web page
when they try to view an off-campus site. They must complete the
registration process to receive a fully functional IP address.
The College owns a site license for Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition
that allows us to distribute it to our students for use on their
personal machine. We would like to ensure that they have the Corporate
Edition of Norton installed before we allow them to register their
computer.
One idea that we have is to run a script that determines whether or not
they have our version of Norton installed before letting them register.
Ideally, this script would uninstall any other virus protection, install
Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition, and then take them to our
registration page.
Does anyone have any experience with this approach?
