Setting the Security Environment
In the
Security Environment
, Avira SMC uses so-called virtual groups of computers
in order to perform installation, configuration and monitoring tasks. Only
computers integrated into the Security Environment can be managed with Avira
SMC.
Security Environment Nodes
You must configure the hierarchical structure of your network in the Security
Environment in such a way, that the structure complies with the specifications for
general installation and configuration of the Avira products on your computers.
For this purpose, you should organize the so-called virtual groups under the
Security Environment nodes, to reflect your company’s structure. You can create
various network groups, such as computers in specific departments, or you can
group computers with similar installation or configuration (products in English,
for example).
You can also create nested groups. Single or multiple groups can always be nested
into other groups. You can rename computers and groups in the Security
Environment.
Status in Security
Environment
The status for computers and groups is displayed as an icon when SMC Frontend
starts, depending on the login account.
Green monitor, green arrow: computer started, SMC Agent installed and running,
full access possible.
Light blue monitor, red arrow: computer started, SMC Agent not installed.
