Illustration 18: Configuration of the AntiVir Professional 10
The Update configuration can be found in each configuration of the clients
underneath the point “General” and “Update”.
Change the configuration in order to proceed f. ex. central updates.
Choose the update procedure “via internet“ or “via fileserver/share.
In case of the update “via webserver” you have to consider that the clients will
not inevitably download the updates via the internet.
On the contrary the use of the http protocol is meant here. The update is done
via a webserver which also can be located in a local network (not in the
internet). The SMC 2.0 offers you an already included Internet Update Manager
which also works as a webserver on port 7080. Please, note the detailed
information given in the SMC manual.
The advantages of using http for the updates are:
-
Several update servers can be entered; in case the first one cannot be
reached the following registered one will be used
In case of the configuration of a laptop the internal webserver can be
named as the first update server and the internet update server of AVIRA
can be defined as the second update server. If the laptop is used far from
the enterprise network the updates will be done via the second update
server, the AVIRA server.
-
It is not necessary to care about the authentication of the share which is
important for the use of “via filesharing”.
