Well here's a quick update on our story.
We did the minor upgrade that was showing as available for vShield Endpoint to 5.1.0-1255202.
We installed Trend Micro Deep Security and did a full deployment using the virtual appliances and all the bells and whistles.
Everything works fine. Agentless anti-malware works. No issues to report at all. We have implemented this on our production system.
See my post above for the versions we are running.
P.S. for anyone considering Trend Micro Deep Security we highly recommend it. Its a very good product and we cannot stress enough to stay away from Kaspersky. Kaspersky was a nightmare from the day we bought it until we retired it one year later (with Trend).
THarrison1 - we see the same thing in the summary tab for the vShield manager appliance as 5.1.2-943471, however if you log into the webpage for vShield manager it shows the correct 5.5.0a version. Again VMware support confirmed they have seen this before and have no solution. They are saying its a "bug" and shouldn't impact actual operations. I can say for Trend Micro Deep Security 9 that this is a true statement. It works.
