Keeping Protection Up-to-Date
4. Determine how often to download the components. Pattern files are updated
frequently (some on a daily basis) so it is a good practice to update them regularly.
For engines and drivers, you can ask your support provider to notify you of critical
updates.
5. On the update source:
a. Connect to the ActiveUpdate server. The server’s URL depends on your
OfficeScan version.
b. Download the following items:
• The server.ini file. This file contains information about the latest
components.
• The components you identified in step 3
c. Save the downloaded items to a directory in the update source.
6. Run a manual update of the OfficeScan server. For details, see OfficeScan Server
Manual Updates on page 5-22.
7. Repeat step 5 to step 6 each time you need to update components.
OfficeScan Server Update Methods
Update OfficeScan server components manually or by configuring an update schedule.
To allow the server to deploy the updated components to clients, enable automatic
client update. For details, see OfficeScan Client Automatic Updates on page 5-32. If
automatic client update is disabled, the server downloads the updates but does not
deploy them to the clients.
Update methods include:
• Manual server update: When an update is critical, perform manual update so the
server can obtain the updates immediately. See OfficeScan Server Manual Updates on
page 5-22 for details.
• Scheduled server update: The OfficeScan server connects to the update source
during the scheduled day and time to obtain the latest components. See OfficeScan
Server Scheduled Updates on page 5-22 for details.
