Keeping Protection Up-to-Date

b. If you select Daily or Weekly, specify the time of the update and the time
period the OfficeScan server will notify clients to update components. For
example, if the start time is 12pm and the time period is 2 hours, OfficeScan
randomly notifies all online clients to update components from 12pm until
2pm. This setting prevents all online clients from simultaneously connecting to
the server at the specified start time, significantly reducing the amount of
traffic directed to the server.
4. Click Save.
Offline clients will not be notified. Offline clients that become online after the time
period expires can still update components if you selected Let clients initiate
component when they restart... under Event-triggered Update. Otherwise, they
update components on the next schedule or if you initiate manual update.
Manual Update
Update client components manually when client components are severely out-of-date
and whenever there is an outbreak. Client components become severely out-of-date
when the client is unable to update components from the update source for an extended
period of time.
In addition to components, OfficeScan clients also receive updated configuration files
automatically during manual update. Clients need the configuration files to apply new
settings. Each time you modify OfficeScan settings through the Web console, the
configuration files change.
To update clients manually:
PATH: UPDATES > NETWORKED COMPUTERS > MANUAL UPDATE
1. The components currently available on the OfficeScan server and the date these
components were last updated display on top of the screen. Ensure the
components are up-to-date before notifying clients to update.
Note: Manually update any outdated components on the server. See Manual Update on
page 4-20 for details.
