Installation Considerations Parent topic

Before installing clients, consider the following:
  • OfficeScan client features: Some client features are not available on certain Windows platforms.
  • IPv6 support: The OfficeScan client can be installed on dual-stack or pure IPv6 clients. However:
    • Some of the Windows operating systems to which the OfficeScan client can be installed do not support IPv6 addressing.
    • For some of the installation methods, there are special requirements to install the OfficeScan client successfully.
  • OfficeScan client IP addresses: For clients with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, you can choose which IP address will be used when the client registers to the server.
  • Exception lists: Ensure that exception lists for the following features have been configured properly:
    • Behavior Monitoring: Add critical computer applications to the Approved Programs list to prevent the OfficeScan client from blocking these applications. For more information, see Behavior Monitoring Exception List.
    • Web Reputation: Add websites that you consider safe to the Approved URL List to prevent the OfficeScan client from blocking access to the websites. For more information, see Web Reputation Policies.
