Trend Micro ServerProtect supports Microsoft Windows and Novell NetWare platforms. If you are installing ServerProtect on your network for the first time, you must set the destination server as an Information Server, then configure the Normal Servers to join it. An Information Server must have at least one ServerProtect domain to manage its Normal Servers. See ServerProtect Domains.
