5.1 User interface: AntiVir Server Console
The Avira AntiVir Server service that is installed on the servers to be protected is
managed via the AntiVir Server Console. The AntiVir Server Console is a snap-in of
the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). You can create any number of servers to be
protected on the AntiVir Server Console in order to configure and monitor them on the
AntiVir Server Console.
Note
Please note that only the proprietary elements of the AntiVir Server Console are
documented in this help. For information on the MMC and on manual integration of a
snap-in, please refer to the user manual or the online help of the operating system.
Starting and closing the AntiVir Server Console
Start the AntiVir Server Console via the Avira AntiVir Server user interface link in
the Windows Start menu or under All programs. You can also load the AntiVir Server
Console directly in the MMC. You will find the preconfigured AntiVir Server Console in
the installation directory of the AntiVir Server Console. To close the AntiVir Server
Console, you must close MMC.
Operation
