AVG Admin Server
AVG Admin Server is used to secure communication between the AVG stations
and the AVG DataCenter on the server. Through the AVG Admin Server the AVG
stations connect to the AVG DataCenter using the TCP protocol (or the HTTP
protocol, to be exact) that is a part of each Windows operating system installation.
Therefore, the AVG stations do not need any other third party component to be able
to connect to the remote administration system.
The AVG Admin Server can serve as a proxy server for downloading and
distributing updates to your stations within the local network (by deploying the
UpdateProxy role).
It basically works as a simple web server offering the update files to AVG stations.
The update files are downloaded from the AVG central update servers just once,
which significantly decreases the internet connection link load, especially in larger
networks.
The AVG Admin Server is started automatically after deployment. If not, you can
start it manually from the Windows start menu All programs/AVG 8.5 Remote
Administration by selecting AVG Admin Server Monitor, button Start server.
More information about the configuration of AVG Admin Server is available in the
Configuration/AVG Admin Server Settings
chapter.
