Configuring a Scheduled Vulnerability Scan Parent topic

Procedure

  1. To run a vulnerability scan on the OfficeScan server computer, navigate to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\TMVS and double-click TMVS.exe. The Trend Micro Vulnerability Scanner console appears. To run a vulnerability scan on another computer running Windows Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, 7, 8, or Server 2012:
    1. On the OfficeScan server computer, navigate to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility.
    2. Copy the TMVS folder to the other computer.
    3. On the other computer, open the TMVS folder and then double-click TMVS.exe.
      The Trend Micro Vulnerability Scanner console appears.
    Note
    Note
    You cannot launch the tool from Terminal Server.
  2. Go to the Scheduled Scan section.
  3. Click Add/Edit.
    The Scheduled Scan screen appears.
  4. Configure the following settings:
    1. Name: Type a name for the scheduled vulnerability scan.
    2. IP address range: Type the IP address range of the computers you want to check.
      1. Type an IPv4 address range.
        Note
        Note
        Vulnerability Scanner can only query an IPv4 address range if it runs on a pure IPv4 or dual-stack host machine that has an available IPv4 address. Vulnerability Scanner only supports a class B IP address range, for example, 168.212.1.1 to 168.212.254.254.
      2. For an IPv6 address range, type the IPv6 prefix and length.
        Note
        Note
        Vulnerability Scanner can only query an IPv6 address range if it runs on a pure IPv6 or dual-stack host machine that has an available IPv6 address.
    3. Schedule: Specify the start time using the 24-hour clock format and then select how often the scan will run. Choose from daily, weekly, or monthly.
    4. Settings: Select which set of vulnerability scan settings to use.
      • Select Use current settings if you have configured and want to use manual vulnerability scan settings. For details about manual vulnerability scan settings, see Running a Manual Vulnerability Scan.
      • If you did not specify manual vulnerability scan settings or if you want to use another set of settings, select Modify settings and then click Settings. The Settings screen appears.
        You can configure the following settings and then click OK:
        • Ping settings: Vulnerability Scan can "ping" the IP addresses specified in step 4b to check if they are currently in use. If a target host machine is using an IP address, Vulnerability Scanner can determine the host machine’s operating system. For details, see Ping Settings.
        • Method for retrieving computer descriptions: For host machines that respond to the "ping" command, Vulnerability Scanner can retrieve additional information about the host machines. For details, see Method for Retrieving Computer Descriptions.
        • Product query: Vulnerability Scanner can check for the presence of security software on the target host machines. For details, see Product Query.
        • OfficeScan server settings: Configure these settings if you want Vulnerability Scanner to automatically install the OfficeScan client to unprotected host machines. These settings identify the OfficeScan client’s parent server and the administrative credentials used to log on to the host machines. For details, see OfficeScan Server Settings.
          Note
          Note
          Certain conditions may prevent the installation of the OfficeScan client to the target host machines. For details, see Guidelines When Installing the OfficeScan Client Using Vulnerability Scanner.
        • Notifications: Vulnerability Scanner can send the vulnerability scan results to OfficeScan administrators. It can also display notifications on unprotected host machines. For details, see Notifications.
        • Save results: In addition to sending the vulnerability scan results to administrators, Vulnerability Scan can also save the results to a .csv file. For details, see Vulnerability Scan Results.
  5. Click OK.
    The Scheduled Scan screen closes.The scheduled vulnerability scan you created appears under the Scheduled Scan section. If you enabled notifications, Vulnerability Scanner sends you the scheduled vulnerability scan results.
  6. To execute the scheduled vulnerability scan immediately, click Run Now.
    The vulnerability scan results appear in the Results table under the Scheduled Scan tab.
    Note
    Note
    MAC address information does not display in the Results table if the computer runs Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012.
  7. To save the results to a comma-separated value (CSV) file, click Export, locate the folder where you want to save the file, type the file name, and click Save.
