VDI Pre-Scan Template Generation Tool

Use the OfficeScan VDI Pre-Scan Template Generation Tool to optimize on-demand scan or remove GUIDs from base or golden images. This tool scans the base or golden image and certifies the image. When scanning duplicates of this image, OfficeScan only checks parts that have changed. This ensures shorter scanning time.

• Trend Micro recommends generating the pre-scan template after applying a Windows update or installing a new application.

To create a pre-scan template:

1. On the OfficeScan server computer, browse to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\TCacheGen.

2. Choose a version of the VDI Pre-Scan Template Generation Tool. The following versions are available:
