Importing and Exporting Client Settings
9-46
You may want many OfficeScan clients to have the same scan and/or client privilege
settings. OfficeScan allows you to save (export) a specific client’s scan settings and
privileges and then replicate (import) them to multiple clients. This provides an easy way
to configure identical settings on many clients.
You cannot export the scan and privilege settings of multiple clients. You can only
export the settings of a single client, a domain, or the root.
Tip: If you grouped clients with similar protection requirements into a domain, Trend Micro
recommends configuring the settings of one client, exporting its settings, and importing
the settings file to the remainder of the clients in the domain.
To export client settings to a file:
PATH: NETWORKED COMPUTERS > CLIENT MANAGEMENT > SETTINGS > EXPORT SETTINGS
1. Click any of the links to view the settings for the clients or domains you selected.
2. Click Export to save the settings. The settings are saved in a .dat file.
3. Click Save and then specify the location to which you want to save the .dat file.
4. Click Save.
To import client settings:
PATH: NETWORKED COMPUTERS > CLIENT MANAGEMENT > SETTINGS > IMPORT SETTINGS
1. Click Browse to locate the .dat file on the computer and click Import. The Import
Settings screen appears, showing a summary of the settings.
2. Click any of the scan or privilege settings links to view details regarding those
settings.
3. Import the settings.
• If you selected the root icon on the client tree, import settings by selecting
Apply to all domains, and then clicking Apply to Target.
• If you selected domains, import settings by selecting Apply to all computers
belonging to the selected domain(s), and then clicking Apply to Target.
• If you selected several clients, import settings by clicking Apply to Target.
