1. About Trend Micro Control Manager


Trend Micro Control Manager is a central management console that manages Trend Micro products and services at the gateway, mail server, file server, and corporate desktop levels. Administrators can use the policy management feature to configure and deploy product settings to managed products and endpoints. The Control Manager web-based management console provides a single monitoring point for antivirus and content security products and services throughout the network.

Control Manager enables system administrators to monitor and report on activities such as infections, security violations, or virus/malware entry points. System administrators can download and deploy update components throughout the network, helping ensure that protection is consistent and up to date. Example update components include virus pattern files, scan engines, and anti-spam rules. Control Manager allows both manual and pre-scheduled updates. Control Manager allows the configuration and administration of products as groups or as individuals for added flexibility.

1.1. Overview of this Release

The highlight of this release is Connected Threat Defense and the Trend Micro products that support this strategy, particularly:

Connected Threat Defense also supports the preview release of Deep Discovery Endpoint Sensor, which facilitates impact assessment, one of the key components of Connected Threat Defense.

This release also includes all critical patches and hot fixes released previously, along with several enhancements.

2.1. New Features and Enhancements in 6.0 SP3 Repack 1

After successfully installing this service pack, Control Manager automatically synchronizes with your Active Directory OU, Computer and User objects.

Synchronization time depends on system specifications, the number of managed endpoints, and the size of objects in Active Directory. Check the status of synchronization and other post-installation tasks on top of the Dashboard on the management console.

After the synchronization, the list of endpoints and users on the management console's User/Endpoint view is updated.
