Updating the Control Manager network involves two steps:
Select the components to download.
Choose a download source:
Internet: Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server - by default, Control Manager implements smart duplicate checking whenever it downloads components from the ActiveUpdate server
Aside from this, you can enable HTTPS when downloading components from the ActiveUpdate server.
Other Internet source - specify multiple Web sites (for example, your local Intranet Web site) from where Control Manager can download updates
UNC - specify a shared folder in your network from where Control Manager can download updates
Choose a download method:
Manual download - invoke manual downloads to obtain updates on-demand
Control Manager only downloads components needed by its managed products.
Scheduled download - implement scheduled downloads to automatically obtain update components according to the schedule that you set
The Control Manager server provides four (4) predefined scheduled download settings.
Control Manager's download options allow you to select which components to download, when, and how often to obtain the updates, and where to get them.
If you configured your scheduled or manual download to either use a Deployment Plan, or to "deploy immediately", Control Manager deploys components after it completes their download. Otherwise, you will have to invoke an on-demand deployment.
Trend Micro strongly recommends regularly updating these components to help ensure managed products can protect your network against the latest threats. For product program updates, refer to the specific program�s documentation.
Deploying updates to managed products is a bandwidth intensive operation. If possible, it is important to perform deployments when it will have the least impact on the network.
You can stagger the deployment of component updates using Deployment Plans.
