 |
Auto
Updater
With its supporting DLL and INI files, this tool allows
you to initiate an update every time a client is activated.
|
|
 |
Client
Packager
Used to to deploy updates or setup files to machines in
limited bandwidth environments, where using ActiveUpdate
is not feasible. It can pack setup and update files into
a single self-extracting file, which can be easily delivered
to its destination via email, CD-ROM, or other similar
media. The tool console also features an email function
that can access the MS Outlook address book, allowing
you to send the self-extracting file from within the tool.

Client
Real-time Scan Scheduler
Stops and restarts real-time scan based on a specified
schedule. It also supports the immediate stopping and
restarting of this feature. |
|
 |
GUID
Changer
Used to change the GUID and can be used by both
Windows 95 and NT OfficeScan clients. This is tool useful
when the client software was installed using imaging software,
other than Trend Micros Image Setup. Image Setup
automatically assigns a new GUID to the client; and is
therefore the recommended imaging tool. |
|
 |
Image
Setup Utility
Helps the OfficeScan administrator to use the hard disk
imaging technology to deploy the OfficeScan client software.
Hard disk imaging technology lets you make an image of
a workstation and then make "clones" of the
master workstation to other workstations on your network. |
|
 |
IP
Changer
Detects the available IP addresses for connecting to an
OfficeScan server. It can be added to a clients
login script on the server, or to the clients Registry
as a Run Key. This tool is very useful for mobile clients
that are frequently transferred from one network to another. |
|
 |
Mobile
Client Updater
Ensures that mobile clients with a functional connection
to the OfficeScan server (e.g., via the Internet) are
able to receive file updates automatically. It eliminates
the need to use the Synchronize feature, a mundane task
that can be easily neglected. If a client computer has
two IP addresses, for example if it has two Network
Interface Cards, this tool can be used to direct the
OfficeScan server to the correct address.
|
|
 |
Network
Scan Switch
Enables the administrator to turn on or off the network
scan function of OfficeScan.
|
|
 |
POP3
Scanner
Starts real-time scanning
for POP3 mail clients. POP3 mail scanning secure your
Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape
clients from email borne virus attacks. |
|
 |
Register
Shell
Used to add or remove OfficeScan from the right-click
popup menu on MS Windows Explorer. The tool accomplishes
its task by either installing or uninstalling the OfficeScan
shell extension. It is handy for situations where the
shell extension is absent, as well as for when it is not
wanted. |
|
 |
Remote
Agent
Allows OfficeScan clients in low-bandwidth remote offices
to get updated pattern files and scan engine directly
from the Trend Micro update server, instead of only from
the OfficeScan server. This way, OfficeScan clients are
sure to get program updates even if the deployment of
new pattern files from the OfficeScan server is not possible
due to bandwidth limitations. |

OfficeScan Tools
For a complete list of all tools
available in OfficeScan 5.0, see the online help.
Note: You cannot run any of them directly
from the OfficeScan management console. Some tools can be run from
the OfficeScan server, while others on the OfficeScan client. Except
for POP3 Scanner, which is only for OfficeScan 5.0, all tools listed
here are for OfficeScan 3.54 and later.
