Server management provides the functionality to query information and replicate settings for all PortalProtect servers in a farm. The console provides information about engine/pattern version, scanning status, scanning result and last replication. The following provides a brief description of the available options:

Scanning result: displays the latest scan results as listed on the Summary Page.
