Scan Method Parent topic

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 on the components available for each scan method, see OfficeScan Client Updates.
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 ComputersClient Management, select the client tree domain to which the client belongs, and click SettingsScan SettingsScan Methods. The domain level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
  • If you will use the package to perform a fresh installation of the OfficeScan client, check the client grouping setting. On the web console, go to Networked ComputersClient Grouping.
  • If the client grouping is by NetBIOS, Active Directory, or DNS domain, check the domain to which the target computer belongs. 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 domain icon (icon_root-2.bmp) in the client tree and click SettingsScan SettingsScan Methods). The domain or root level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
  • If the client grouping is by custom client groups, check the Grouping Priority and Source.
    If the target computer belongs to a particular source, check the corresponding Destination. The destination is the domain name that appears in the client tree. The client will apply the scan method for that domain after the installation.
  • 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.
