Update Agents<br />

Keeping Protection Up-to-Date<br />

To distribute the task of deploying components to <strong>OfficeScan</strong> clients, assign some<br />

<strong>OfficeScan</strong> clients to act as Update Agents, or update sources for other clients. This<br />

helps ensure that clients receive component updates in a timely manner without<br />

directing a significant amount of network traffic to the <strong>OfficeScan</strong> server.<br />

If the network is segmented by location and the network link between segments<br />

experiences a heavy traffic load, assign at least one Update Agent on each location.<br />

Update Agent System Requirements<br />

Clients acting as Update Agents must have the following requirements:<br />
