checked. Into the Update mirror folder enter a path to
the directory, where updates will be downloaded – i.e.
a path to the shared network folder – Mirror – and en
-
ter username and password of user with a right to read,
write and browse.
When entering a path, please use the UNC path. Let’s
assume that the shared folder is named NOD32NET and
is located on the MAIN server. Then enter the path in this
form: \\MAIN\NOD32NET.
WARNING! Please, pay attention when entering
“username” and “password”. See below chapter for
details.
• Step 5:
Just change the URL of update server on NOD32 on
the workstations. Again, please be careful when entering
username with Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003. Open the
NOD32 Control Center, then choose Update, click on the
Setup button, and enter the username.
Click on the Servers button to add a new update ser-
ver. According to the previous example, enter \\MAIN\NO-
D32NET. Save the changes and return to the Update setup
window and choose it from the roll down menu.
WARNING! Please, pay attention when entering
“username” and “password”. See below chapter for
details.
Click OK in the bottom section to save the settings. To
make sure that it is set up correctly, click on the Update
Now button in the Update dialog window.
If it is set up correctly, you should not be asked for
username and password, and, naturally, no error messa-
ges should be displayed.
Now click on Update now in the Update tab to check
whether it is set up correctly.
How to transfer conguration via
Mirror.
Using a local update server – Mirror – you can also dis-
tribute a conguration for NOD32, by which the worksta-
tions will be congured at the next attempt to update.
In order to automatically distribute a conguration,
• set update server on the workstations to http://IP_
address_of_your_server:8081 (if it is the version wi-
th an HTTP server) or to \\MAIN\NOD32NET (if it is the
version with a shared folder)
• place the conguration XML le on the server.
The conguration itself is created on the same PC
where the mirror is created. Click on the Mirror button
in the Update section in the NOD32 Control Center, and
then click on the Setup button. In the Mirror Setup dia-
log window, click on Setup in Conguration les. After clic-
king on the Setup button, select Add, then New and cre-
ate a new conguration le. Save the new conguration
le anywhere on the local disk, EXCEPT for the folder with
the Mirror. After this is done, the application NOD32 Con-
guration Editor is launched (see below).
After required changes are made, save them by clic-
king on the diskette in the upper part of the window.
Then just close the window and click OK to return to the
NOD32 Control Center. Now, by clicking on the Update
button in the Mirror for local updates section the congu-
ration le will be generated in the folder with the Mirror.
The presence of the conguration le in the upda-
te folder / mirror will ensure, that the workstations
will, besides downloading updates, apply this con-
rmation also.
Access usernames and passwords
Please pay attention when lling in the username
and password dialog boxes in the Update setup dialog
window before updating from the mirror (or before cre-
ating the mirror).
The NOD32 update process runs at the service level,
and a currently logged in user cannot aect this situation
(even if he/she has access to the folder with the Mirror).
So in case of MS Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 opera-
ting system ll in the “name” dialog box this way:
DOMAIN\USER
or
WORKGROUP\USER
under Novell system, just put USER.
Of course we must not forget the password. LOGIN
NAME is a name of the user with read-only rights to the
folder with the mirror (if the user creates the mirror, then
also to write).
