Once VirusScan Enterprise is installed, however, update DAT files frequently. Your
anti-virus software is only as good as its latest DAT files, so it is essential to keep them
up-to-date. In a later section in this guide, you will see how to schedule a regular
automatic client update task to occur regularly, such as daily or weekly. For now, let’s
assume you want to initiate an immediate DAT file update. You will likely be required to
do this at some point; for example, if McAfee releases updated DAT files in response
to a newly-discovered virus and you want your client systems to update without waiting
for their regularly scheduled task.
To do this, create and run a client update task from your ePolicy Orchestrator console.
This forces all your client anti-virus software to perform an update task.
To create and run a client update task:
1
In the console tree, right-click
Directory | All Tasks | Schedule task
.
2
In the
Schedule Task
dialog box, type a name into the
New Task Name
field, such as
Update client DATs
.
3
In the software list, select
ePolicy Orchestrator Agent | Update
for the task type.
4
Click
OK
.
5
Go to the
Tasks
tab in the details pane, then press
F5
to refresh the console and
make the new task appear in the list on the
Task
tab.
Note that it is scheduled to run daily at the current day and time. Also note that the
Enabled
flag is set to
False
—we now need to set this to
True
and run it immediately.
6
Right-click the new task in the task list and select
Edit Task
.
7
Deselect
Inherit
under the
Schedule Settings
section of the
ePolicy Orchestrator Scheduler
dialog box.
Note
Before you run a client update task, make sure you have first pulled any updated DAT
or engine files into your master and distributed repositories, if you have them. See
Set
up master and distributed repositories
on page 95
