Plug-in Manager and Plug-in Programs
Plug-in programs, along with new product versions, service packs, and patches, are
designed to add new features and security capabilities into OfficeScan, and enhance the
product's performance. Plug-in Manager facilitates the installation, deployment, and
management of plug-in programs.
The OfficeScan server downloads Plug-in Manager and plug-in programs, including new
versions of the programs, from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server.
The OfficeScan Server
The OfficeScan HTTP-based server is the central repository for all client configurations,
security risk logs, and updates.
The server performs two important functions:
• Installs, monitors, and manages OfficeScan clients
• Downloads most of the components needed by clients. The OfficeScan server
downloads components from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server and then
distributes them to clients.
Note: Some components are downloaded by Smart Scan Servers. See Smart Scan Server
on page 1-10 for details.
