Generally, there are two options of update files local mirroring. The recommended
option is using the UpdateProxy role, that can be deployed also on multiple servers.
See the
Deploying multiple UpdateProxy roles
chapter for more information.
By using this, the AVG Admin Server is able to automatically download all
necessary update files. AVG stations then search for the update files on the
computer with the AVG Admin Server running. This option is considered the
preferred way of update file distribution within the local network.
However, it is possible to use any other web server for this kind of update. The
server only has to share one isolated folder accessible by AVG stations. When you
are using Microsoft Information Server, for example, the root of all the accessible
folders is usually C:\InetPub\wwwroot. Supposing C:\InetPub\wwwroot\avgupdate
folder, which is accessible by web interface, is present on the web server called
localweb. Web (HTTP) clients can access documents and files in this directory by
the URL http://localweb/avgupdate. Following these steps, AVG stations will use
the same URL http://localweb/avgupdate for updates.
Update files for distribution can be downloaded from the
www.avg.com
website,
section Downloads.
