Server Update Source
Configure the OfficeScan server to download components from the Trend Micro 
ActiveUpdate server or from another source.
After the server downloads any available updates, it can automatically notify clients to 
update their components based on the settings you specified in Updates > Networked 
Computers > Automatic Update. If the component update is critical, let the server 
notify the clients at once by going to Updates > Networked Computers > Manual 
Update.
Note: If you do not specify a deployment schedule or event-triggered update settings in 
Updates > Networked Computers > Automatic Update, the server will download 
the updates but will not notify clients to update.
To configure the server update source:
PATH: UPDATES > SERVER > UPDATE SOURCE
1. Select the location from where you want to download component updates.
If you choose ActiveUpdate server, ensure that the server has Internet connection 
and, if you are using a proxy server, test if Internet connection can be established 
using the proxy settings. For details, see Proxy for Server Update on page 4-16.
If you choose a custom update source, set up the appropriate environment and 
update resources for this update source. Also ensure that there is functional 
connection between the server computer and this update source. If you need 
assistance setting up an update source, contact your support provider.
Note: The OfficeScan server uses component duplication when downloading 
components from the update source. See Server Component Duplication on page 4-16 
for details.
2. Click Save.
