To
distribute the task of deploying components, domain settings, or
client programs and hot
fixes to
OfficeScan clients,
assign some
OfficeScan clients to
act as Update Agents, or update sources for other clients. This
helps ensure that
clients receive
updates in a timely manner without directing a significant amount
of network traffic to the
OfficeScan server.
If the network is segmented by location and the network link
between segments experiences a heavy traffic load, assign at least
one Update Agent on each location.
