Grant certain users the client roaming privilege if client-server events are interfering with the users’ tasks. For example, a user who frequently gives presentations can enable roaming mode before starting a presentation to prevent the OfficeScan server from deploying client settings and initiating scans on the client.
When clients are in roaming mode:
Clients do not send logs to the OfficeScan server, even if there is a functional connection between the server and clients.
The OfficeScan server does not initiate tasks and deploy client settings to the clients, even if there is functional connection between the server and clients.
Clients update components if they can connect to any of their update sources. Sources include the OfficeScan server, Update Agents, or a custom update source.
The following events trigger an update on roaming clients:
The user performs a manual update.
Automatic client update runs. You can disable automatic client update on roaming clients. For details, see To disable automatic client update on roaming clients:.
Scheduled update runs. Only clients with the required privileges can run scheduled updates. You can revoke this privilege anytime. For details, see To revoke the scheduled update privilege on roaming clients:.
To grant the client roaming privileges to users:
Networked Computers > Client Management
In the client tree, click the root domain icon 
to include all clients or select specific domains or clients.

Apply to All Clients: Applies settings to all existing clients and to any new client added to an existing/future domain. Future domains are domains not yet created at the time you configured the settings.

This option is automatically disabled if you disable Initiate component update on clients immediately after the OfficeScan server downloads a new component.
