About Control Manager

Trend Micro Control Manager™ is a software management solution that gives you the ability to control antivirus and content security programs from a central location—regardless of the program’s physical location or platform. This application can simplify the administration of a corporate virus/malware and content security policy.

• Control Manager server: The Control Manager server is the computer upon which the Control Manager application is installed. The Web-based Control Manager management console is generated on this server.

• Agent: The agent is an application installed on a product-server that allows Control Manager to manage the product. It receives commands from the Control Manager server, and then applies them to the managed product. It also collects logs from the product, and sends them to Control Manager.

• Entity: An entity is a representation of a managed product (such as OfficeScan) on the Product Directory link. You see these icons in the directory tree of the Entity section. The directory tree is a composition of all managed entities, residing on the Control Manager console.

Refer to the Administrator's Guide for information about how to manage OfficeScan from the Control Manager console.
