Update reminders and tips:

  • To allow the server to deploy the updated components to agents, enable automatic agent update. For details, see Security Agent Automatic Updates. If automatic agent update is disabled, the server downloads the updates but does not deploy them to the agents.

  • A pure IPv6 Apex One server cannot distribute updates directly to pure IPv4 agents. Similarly, a pure IPv4 Apex One server cannot distribute updates directly to pure IPv6 agents. A dual-stack proxy server that can convert IP addresses, such as DeleGate, is required to allow the Apex One server to distribute update to the agents.

  • Trend Micro releases pattern files regularly to keep agent protection current. Since pattern file updates are available regularly, Apex One uses a mechanism called "component duplication" that allows faster downloads of pattern files. See Apex One Server Component Duplication for more information.

  • If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, use the correct proxy settings to download updates successfully.

  • On the web console's Dashboard, add the Agent Updates widget to view the current versions of components and determine the number of agents with updated and outdated components.
