Smart Scan Server Update
This section discusses how to update components in the integrated Smart Scan Server.
For details on updating components in a standalone server, see the Trend Micro Smart
Scan for OfficeScan Getting Started Guide.
The Smart Scan Server downloads the Smart Scan Pattern. Clients verify potential
threats against the pattern by sending scan queries to the Smart Scan Server. Clients do
not download the Smart Scan Pattern.
Note: The other pattern used in the smart scan solution, called Smart Scan Agent Pattern, is
hosted on the client update source (the OfficeScan server or a customized update
source) and downloaded by clients.
Trend Micro updates the Smart Scan Pattern hourly. Like the OfficeScan server, the
Smart Scan Server also uses a mechanism called component duplication that allows faster
downloads of the pattern file. See Server Component Duplication on page 4-16 for more
information.
Server Update Settings
Configure the Smart Scan Server to download the Smart Scan Pattern from the Trend
Micro ActiveUpdate server or from another source. Manually update the pattern or
configure an update schedule.
To configure server update settings:
PATH: SMART SCAN > INTEGRATED SERVER
1. Select to use the Integrated Smart Scan Server. If you do not select the check box:
• The Trend Micro Smart Scan Server service (iCRCService.exe) stops.
• The integrated server stops updating components from the ActiveUpdate
server.
• Clients will not be able to send scan queries to the integrated server.
2. Use the information under Server Address when configuring the Smart Scan
Server list. For details about the list, see Smart Scan Source on page 5-15.
Clients can connect to the integrated server using HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
HTTPS allows for a more secure connection while HTTP uses less bandwidth.
