Update and Upgrade
OfficeScan Corporate Edition
enables the administrator to update virus pattern files, scan
engines and updated program components to all the workstations on
the network. You can manually update the pattern file, schedule
an update of the pattern file or roll back to a previous version
of the pattern file.
From Internet
- You can download the updated
files from Trend Micro's ActiveUpdate server on the Internet. The
files are deployed to the client after they are successfully downloaded.
From OfficeScan Server
- Alternatively, you can access
the files on the OfficeScan server and then deploy them
to client workstations throughout your network. This
second option is most useful if you have been given a
customized build of the virus pattern or scan engine to
overcome a compatibility or 'false alarm' problem on your
network. In addition, it can be used if you have already
downloaded the updated files to a local server.
Selecting Update Targets
You must select which clients you
want to update before running the update. Clicking the Select
Targets... button in the Manual Update and Scheduled
Update configuration window opens another window that lets
you select the workstations to be updated. The options are:
- No workstations:
Update will be kept on the server
- All workstations:
All computers hosting OfficeScan will be updated
- Specific workstation:
Clicking the Select button will open a new window where
you can set which
workstations will be updated. In addition, there is a search
field that enables you to search for OfficeScan clients
on your network.
Note: When
notifying the clients of an update, clients that have been
successfully contacted by the server are shown as Notified
while those with pending notifications are shown as Queued.
