Protecting Computers from Security Risks
8. Timing
When switching to smart scan for the first time, clients need to download the full
version of the Smart Scan Agent Pattern from the OfficeScan server. The Smart Scan
Pattern is only used by smart scan clients.
Consider switching during off-peak hours to ensure the download process finishes
within a short amount of time. Also consider switching when no client is scheduled to
update from the server. Also temporarily disable "Update Now" on clients and re-enable
it after the clients have switched to smart scan.
9. Client tree settings
Scan method is a granular setting that can be set on the root, domain, or individual client
level. When switching to smart scan, you can:
• Create a new client tree domain and assign smart scan as its scan method. Any client
you move to this domain will use smart scan.
Note: When you move the client, enable the setting Apply settings of new domain to
selected clients.
• Select a domain and configure it to use smart scan. Conventional scan clients
belonging to the domain will switch to smart scan.
• Select one or several conventional scan clients from a domain and then switch them
to smart scan.
Note: Any changes to the domain’s scan method overrides the scan method you have
configured for individual clients.
