This is not the function of IDS. It can only display you alerts for the malicious traffic that pass through IDS. You better think about some VA tool like Nessus/GFI/ISS/Foundscan etc. You can even explore some Vulnerability Management tool that would be lil automated and administrator need not to scan the network manually everytime. I have never tried this product, so don't know how effective is that. But yes, If you want to enforce security policies and complance to patches for the remote users entering your network via VPN, then you can explore CybergateKeeper [http://www.infoexpress.com/security_products/remote_access_overview.php] Cheers, Dhruv
