Update reminders and tips:
  • To allow the server to deploy the updated components to clients, enable automatic client update. For details, see OfficeScan Client Automatic Updates. If automatic client update is disabled, the server downloads the updates but does not deploy them to the clients.
  • A pure IPv6 OfficeScan server cannot distribute updates directly to pure IPv4 clients. Similarly, a pure IPv4 OfficeScan server cannot distribute updates directly to pure IPv6 clients. A dual-stack proxy server that can convert IP addresses, such as DeleGate, is required to allow the OfficeScan server to distribute update to the clients.
  • Trend Micro releases pattern files regularly to keep client protection current. Since pattern file updates are available regularly, OfficeScan uses a mechanism called component duplication that allows faster downloads of pattern files. See OfficeScan Server Component Duplication for more information.
  • If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, use the correct proxy settings to download updates successfully.
  • On the web console’s Summary, add the Client Updates widget to view the current versions of components and determine the number of clients with updated and outdated components.
