How can I tell that VirusScan Enterprise has actually updated to the latest DATs?
First, check the DAT version that is currently checked into your master repository. These
are the DATs that should now be on your client systems after they updated. To do this:
1
From the console tree, select the ePolicy Orchestrator server, then select the
General
tab.
2
Under
MyAVERT Security Threats
, check which DAT file version is
Current in Repository
.
This should be a 6-digit number like
4.0.4576
.
Next, check the DAT versions used by client software, such as VirusScan Enterprise,
from the ePolicy Orchestrator console. Note that the console does not show the
updated status until the next time the agent calls into the server as part of its regular
agent-to-server communication. To do this:
1
In the console tree, select any system that has recently been updated.
2
In the details pane, select the
Properties
tab, then select
VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i
|
General
to expand the list of general properties.
3
Check the
DAT Version
number. It should match the latest DAT version in your master
software repository.

Schedule automatic repository synchronization
In just a few hours, you now have a fully-functional installation of ePolicy Orchestrator
deployed in your test network. You have agents deployed to client systems, and these
agents are active and calling back to the server for updated instructions regularly. You’ve
also used ePolicy Orchestrator to deploy VirusScan Enterprise to your client systems,
and have created a small software repository that you can use to deploy updates and
additional software to your client systems.
