Configuring Avira SMC
Avira SMC includes the following services: Server, Event Manager, Avira Internet
Update Manager as well as the SMC Agent client service. All services are
automatically configured when Avira SMC is installed.
The default configuration of the services and the configuration made during Avira SMC
installation on the server are optimized for the current network.
We recommend that you change them only if absolutely necessary and with extreme
caution.

You can configure the services in the

windows of every service, as
described below.
5.6.1 Changing the
SMC Agent
Configuration
The SMC Agent configuration is specific to the tree structure of the Security
Environment.
The settings are inherited
from the parent node on each level. You
can change the settings for every node, if you deactivate the option
Inherit
configuration
.
It is recommended to configure the SMC Agents starting from the root node,
Security Environment (right-click on the node and choose
Configuration/Avira
SMC Agent/Configure
). All the computers in the group will inherit the settings.
Then you can make changes for certain computers or sub-groups (if you deactivate
the option
Inherit configuration)
: the computer will overwrite the settings
inherited from the root.
Right-click the computer/group and select
Configuration/Avira SMC Agent/
Configure
.
The
Configuration
window appears.
Disable the option
Inherit configuration
and make the changes you need in the
configuration menus:
General configuration
and
Communication
. The options
are explained below.
If you want to immediately apply the new settings to the computer/group:
Click
Send now
.
The new configuration is applied to the computer/group.
If you need to apply this configuration to the respective computer/group later:
Click
Send later
.
The new configuration will be saved locally. You will be able to apply it to the
chosen computer/group at the required time.
