Installation Methods Parent topic

All of the OfficeScan client installation methods can be used to install the OfficeScan client on pure IPv6 or dual-stack clients. For some installation methods, there are special requirements to install the OfficeScan client successfully.
It is not possible to migrate ServerProtect™ to the OfficeScan client using the ServerProtect Normal Server Migration Tool because the tool does not support IPv6 addressing.

Installation Methods and IPv6 Support

Installation Method
Requirements/Considerations
Web install page and browser-based installation
The URL to the installation page includes the OfficeScan server’s host name or its IP address.

If you are installing to a pure IPv6 client, the server must be dual-stack or pure IPv6 and its host name or IPv6 address must be part of the URL.
For dual-stack clients, the IPv6 address that displays in the installation status screen depends on the option selected in the Preferred IP Address section of Networked Computers → Global Client Settings.
Client Packager
When running the packager tool, you will need to choose whether to assign Update Agent privileges to the client. Remember that a pure IPv6 Update Agent can distribute updates only to pure IPv6 or dual-stack clients.
Security Compliance, Vulnerability Scanner, and remote installation
A pure IPv6 server cannot install the OfficeScan client on pure IPv4 endpoints. Similarly, a pure IPv4 server cannot install the OfficeScan client on pure IPv6 endpoints.
