Keeping Protection Up-to-Date
The server notifies clients to update as soon as it
completes an update. Frequently updated clients
only need to download incremental patterns, thus
reducing the time it takes to complete the update
(see Server Component Duplication on page 4-16 for
details about incremental patterns). However,
updating frequently may adversely affect the
server’s performance, especially if you have a
large number of clients updating at the same time.
If you have clients on roaming mode and you want
these clients to update as well, select Include
roaming client(s). See Roaming Clients on page
9-35 for details about roaming mode.
A client that missed an update immediately
downloads components when it establishes
connection with the server. A client may miss an
update if it is offline or if the computer where it is
installed is not up and running.
The server notifies clients to scan after an
event-triggered update. Consider enabling this
option if a particular update is a response to a
security risk that has already spread within the
network.
2. Select how often clients with scheduled update privilege will perform scheduled
update.
If you have granted clients scheduled update privilege, proceed to the next step.
