Select the operating system for which you want to create the package. Ensure that you only deploy the package to computers that run the operating system type. Create another package to deploy to another operating system type.
Select the scan method for the package. See Scan Methods for details.
The components included in the package depend on the scan method you have selected. For details, see Client Update.
Before selecting the scan method, take note of the following guidelines to help you deploy the package efficiently:
If you will use the package to upgrade a client to this OfficeScan version, check the domain level scan method on the Web console. On the console, go to Networked Computers > Client Management, select the client tree domain to which the client belongs, and click Settings > Scan Methods. The domain level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
If you will use the package to perform fresh installation of the OfficeScan client, check the client grouping setting. On the Web console, go to Networked Computers > Global Client Settings. Verify if the NetBIOS/Active Directory/DNS domain to which the target computer belongs exists on the client tree. If the domain exists, check the scan method configured for the domain. If the domain does not exist, check the root level scan method (select the root icon on the client tree and click Settings > Scan Methods). The domain or root level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
If you will use the package to update components on a client using this OfficeScan version, check the scan method configured for the client tree domain to which the client belongs. The domain level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
This option creates a package that installs on the client computer in the background, unnoticeable to the client and without showing an installation status window. Enable this option if you plan to deploy the package remotely to the target computer.
This option assigns Update Agent privileges to the client on the target computer. Update Agents help the OfficeScan server deploy components to clients. For details, see Update Agents.
If you enable the Update Agent option:
Use the Scheduled Update Configuration Tool to enable and configure scheduled updates for the agent. For details, see Update Methods for Update Agents.
The OfficeScan server that manages the Update Agent will not be able to synchronize or deploy the following settings to the agent:
Update Agent privilege
Client scheduled update
Update from Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server
Updates from other update sources
Therefore, deploy the client package only to computers that will not be managed by an OfficeScan server. Afterwards, configure the Update Agent to get its updates from an update source other than an OfficeScan server, such as a custom update source. If you want the OfficeScan server to synchronize settings with the Update Agent, do not use Client Packager and choose a different client installation method instead.
This option overwrites component versions on the client with the versions currently available on the server. Enable this option to ensure that components on the server and client are synchronized.
If the target computer does not have the OfficeScan client installed, the package first scans the computer for security risks before installing the client. If you are certain that the target computer is not infected with security risks, disable prescan.
If prescan is enabled, Setup scans for virus/malware in the most vulnerable areas of the computer, which include the following:
Boot area and boot directory (for boot viruses)
Windows folder
Program files folder
This option installs the Outlook Mail Scan program, which scans Microsoft Outlook™ mailboxes for security risks. For details, see Outlook Mail Scan.
This tool adds support for Check Point™ SecureClient™ for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. SecureClient verifies the Virus Pattern version before allowing connection to the network. For details, see Overview of Check Point Architecture and Configuration.
Select the components to include in the package. For details, see OfficeScan Components and Programs.
