Depending on the Update Source and download options, ScanMail can deploy all the latest available components automatically. To instruct ScanMail to deploy only specific components, select Enable component deployment and set components to deploy. ScanMail downloads and deploys the latest components as follows:
  1. ScanMail checks for and downloads the latest components from theUpdate Source.
  2. If updated components are available, ScanMail downloads these components to the Update Database.
  3. ScanMail deploys the latest components from the Update Database to the servers specified in the Apply To General setting.
To deploy specific components automatically:
  1. Create or modify a policy (see Creating Policies) or (Modifying Policies).
  2. Click Configuration → Policies → Edit/Create New Policy → Scheduled Update tab.
  3. Select Enable component deployment, and then click Configure.
  4. From the Component Deployment Configuration window, under the Deploy Components group, select which component(s) you want to deploy automatically.
  5. Under the Options group, type values in the Retain pattern file history: ["x" pattern files] and Retain scan engine history:["x" scan engines] fields to indicate the number of pattern filesand scan enginesScanMail will save.
    Note
    Note
    Because virus pattern and scan engine files can take up disk space, Trend Micro recommends keeping three (3) previous pattern file and two (2) previous scan engine versions on hand (in addition to the current version). As subsequent pattern file or scan engine updates occur, the oldest component is deleted for each new one added.
  6. Click OK to close the window.
  7. Click Save & Close to apply the deployment settings.
