The
OfficeScan server is the central
repository for all
client configurations,
security risk logs, and updates.
The
server performs two important functions:
-
Installs, monitors, and manages OfficeScan clients
-
Downloads most of the components needed by clients. The OfficeScan server downloads components
from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server and then distributes them
to clients.

How the OfficeScan server
works
The OfficeScan server is capable
of providing real-time, bidirectional communication between the
server and clients.
Manage the clients from
a browser-based web console, which administrators can access from
virtually anywhere on the network. The server communicates with the client (and the client with the server)
through Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
