Rep Power: 0  |  It takes on average here around 5 mins, little slower on older PCs, faster on the newer desktops. A number of things can affect install / upgrade speed: 1) Antivirus (sophos in particular when running run on-access scanning) 2) Age of your PC 3) Age of the Sims server 4) Speed of your network. 5) Peak usage times, ie just after an update when all the teacher's machines are updating too. Or at first login in the morning. Hope this gives you some pointers |

Rep Power: 0 | Looks like its Sophos. Do you mean on access scanning on the Sims server or on the workstation I am installing it on. |

Rep Power: 4  | Hi I have installed SIMs MANUALLY  on over 150 pc's each taking between 3-5mins, these PC`s are very low spec compared to yours  Are you installing SIMs Manually or deploying SIMs? |
