When you switch clients to conventional
scan, consider the following:
Number of clients to
switch
Switching a relatively small number of clients at a time
allows efficient use of OfficeScan server and Smart Protection
Server resources. These servers can perform other critical tasks
while clients change
their scan methods.
Timing
When switching back to conventional
scan, clients will
likely download the full version of the Virus Pattern and Spyware-active
Monitoring Pattern from the OfficeScan server. These pattern
files are only used by conventional scan clients.
Consider
switching during off-peak hours to ensure the download process finishes
within a short amount of time. Also consider switching when no client is scheduled to
update from the server. Also temporarily disable "Update Now" on clients and re-enable
it after the clients have
switched to smart scan.
Client tree
settings
Scan method is a granular setting that can be
set on the root, domain, or individual client level.
When switching to conventional scan, you can:
Create a new client tree
domain and assign conventional scan as its scan method. Any client you move to this
domain will use conventional scan. When you move the client, enable the setting Apply
settings of new domain to selected clients.
Select a domain and configure it to use conventional scan.
Smart scan clients belonging
to the domain will switch to conventional scan.
Select one or several smart scan clients from a domain
and then switch them to conventional scan.
Note
Any changes to the domain’s
scan method overrides the scan method you have configured for individual clients.
