Update client components manually when client components are severely out-of-date and whenever there is an outbreak. Client components become severely out-of-date when the client is unable to update components from the update source for an extended period of time.
In addition to components, OfficeScan clients also receive updated configuration files automatically during manual update. Clients need the configuration files to apply new settings. Each time you modify OfficeScan settings through the Web console, the configuration files change.
To update clients manually:
Updates > Networked Computers > Manual Update
The components currently available on the OfficeScan server and the date these components were last updated display on top of the screen. Ensure the components are up-to-date before notifying clients to update.
Manually update any outdated components on the server. See Manual Update for details.
Choose the clients you want to update. Update clients with outdated components or select specific clients from the client tree.
Select clients with outdated components: The server searches for clients whose component versions are earlier than the versions on the server and then notifies these clients to update. If you want the server to also search for roaming clients with functional connection to the server, select Include roaming client(s). Click Initiate Update.
Manually select clients: After selecting this option, click Select. In the client tree that opens, choose the clients to update and then click Initiate Component Update on top of the client tree.
The server starts notifying each client to download updated components. To check the notification status, go to the Updates > Summary screen.
