Creating an Update Server Package

If you have many PortalProtect Servers on your Intranet, using an update component package can provide you a quick update option. An update component package consists of the latest pattern file and scan engine on a local PortalProtect Server. Additionally, using a component package, conserves network bandwidth as it becomes unnecessary for all the PortalProtect Servers to access the Internet to update.

To create an update component package:
  1. On the left menu, click Updates, then click one of the following:

  1. Make sure the check box(es) of the component(s) you want to include in the update component package are selected.

  2. From Updates >  Download Source, select one of the following:

  3. Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server: ActiveUpdate downloads new components as soon as Trend Micro makes them available. Select ActiveUpdate as a source if you require frequent and timely updates.

  4. Intranet location containing a copy of the current file: Type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of another server on your network.

  5. Other Update Source: Download your components from an Internet source that receives updated components.

  1. Select Allow other servers to download updates from this server ... to create a component package on one server, which is able to be accessed by the other servers on the same local network.

  2. Click Save.

  3. After having been created, other servers can download the package from:
    http://<Server IP>:<Port>/PortalProtect/Activeupdate
