Using the update option “via filesharing“ you should not forget to enable the
destination directory “httproot” (root directory for the updated files) of the
Internet Update Manager via the file system (read access is sufficient).
This directory is normally located in:
“C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Application data\Avira\Avira Internet
Update Manager\HttpRoot\”
Also the „Server Login Name“ and the „Server Login Password“ should be
configured, so that the updater can load the updates even if the user login on the
client has not yet taken place.
After you have chosen and configured an update possibility, it can be sent via a
click on “Send Now” to the clients.
For clients that are deactivated when the configurations are transmitted an
outstanding action will be generated.
The “outstanding action” will be carried out as soon as the client will be activated
and the SMC Agent will have registered to the SMC Server.
11.4. Planning and Executing of Updates and Scans
An update or scan order can be executed by clicking with the right mouse button
on the designated group in the SMC and after that click on “Command”
“AVIRA AntiVir Workstation”
“Start Update / Scan”.
Via the window which opens now you can choose “Schedule this command”. This
command executes updates or scans automatically at particular times and after
specified periods.
If the button “Schedule this command” is not activated, an update or scan is
executed at once (depending on the command).
The execution of commands “Update” or “Scan” are nearly the same. The only
difference consists in the different possibilities of execution. This is why a
detailed description of the command “Scan” is left out. Further details can be
found in the manual.
